Coolermaster Aero7 better than Swiftec MCX462?

[jarsoffart]

Comparison from Tom's Hardware

Does the Coolermaster Aero7 really have lower temperatures and noise levels than the Swiftec MCX462 outfitted with a Vantec Tornado? I can understand the Swiftec to be louder because of the Tornado, but worse performance? Those who reply, don't just blame it on Tom's Hardware, explain why they performed this comparison inaccurately, if they did actually do it inaccurately.

I don't know whether the comparo was done right or not, but I doubt that either of those can do much better than the Speeze 5F263B1M3 from newegg for $7. now ($12. shipped by itself)... Extremely quiet and keeps my OC'd Duron at 20degC...

Here is the testing method

The testing method looks really good to me.
They are getting the temp reading from die instead of often inaccurate onboard temp read outs.
The dos software that "burn" the chip is probably from AMD which allow the chip to burn fully to 100% or any % they want.
