In this review we are going to measure the thermal capabilities of the Matterhorn PURE with the Intel i5 2500K when overclocked to 4.4ghz @ 1.365v. Each run of Prime 95 is left for at least 25 minutes.

Hardware:
Processor: Intel Core i5 2500k @ 4.4ghz (1.365v).
Motherboard: Asus Maximus Extreme IV.
Memory: 8GB Mushkin Ridgeback 2133Mhz.
OS Drive: 120GB Corsair Force 3 SSD.
Storage Drives: 2TB Western Digital Green & 2TB Seagate Barracuda Green.
Graphics: Sapphire 2GB 6950.
Power Supply: 1200W Cooler Master Silent Pro Gold.
Operating System: Windows 7 x64 Ultimate Edition.

Comparison Cooler: Antec Kuhler 620.

Software:
CPUZ.

The results give a good indication that the Matterhorn PURE performs at a very high level, especially for the modest asking price. That said, it won't annoy many people who overclock.
