Next, overclocking results, and we have the usual overclock to 4.4Ghz which should challenge a single fan cooler.
The Reeven Justice RC-1204 comes in last for idle temperatures and fifth for load performance. To be expected from a single fan cooler, all the leaders here are dual fan set ups with the exception of the Cryorig H5, which the Justice RC-1204 still beats for load performance, not bad.
Overclocking sound performance is always a telling story. We bench the coolers with PWM settings at auto, so generally there is always end user performance gains to be had, if you know how to set up your fan configuration in the BIOS.
The Justice RC-1204 tells a typical story of a CPU cooler under utilized by “Auto” fan BIOS settings. Despite its overclocking heat performance, it’s a very clear second place in the sound performance ranks. It actually makes no difference in the sound performance at idle whether overclocked or stock, not bad going.
Conclusion
We spend a lot of time with coolers and we can separate a genuinely good product from the mass produced shelf fillers, and this needs to be classed as the former.
If you are looking for a good looking solid performing cooler, that’s slightly smaller than your average tower cooler, you need to consider the Reeven Justice RC-1204. If you want evidence, the sound performance is all you need. A good BIOS fan profile set up will give you something well worth the money.
