Curious how much more wattage increase, temp decrease the top dogs of air coolers could achieve with more performant fans no noise consideration. I use Arctic MX-4 paste as well, have yet to ever see it degrade over time. AMD & Intel’s upcoming platforms I imagine allowed package power will be higher we’ll see what cooling companies come up with for air
Heya, how is the CoolerMaster Atomos 360 trading punches with the Arctic Freezer III Pro 420 in overall performance and most metrics when there’s a gap between the two in CPU wattage at set noise levels?
Also, got any idea how the Atomos II or Atomos Stealth measure up to these?
Hi! The Atmos 360 has top performance, as I remember. I don’t understand what you mean by the gap between the two in CPU Wattage at set noise levels. I use an algorithm that includes Wattage, frequency, and temperature.
I haven’t checked the ones you mention, sorry.
Could you do a comparative of air vs liquid cooled table/chart / price. curious to see how they perform against each other as products have improved over the years.
We will soon update this article.
It’s a shame that there is no comparison table on which is better, the ‘Cooler Master MasterLiquid 360 Atmos’ or the ‘Arctic Liquid Freezer III 420’ on AMD CPUs.
Did you test the Fuma 3 yet? I see the link but wasn’t sure compared to the Mugen 6. The Thermalright Peerless Assassin 140 seems to MIA everywhere so not sure what is going on there, but maybe it hasn’t started arriving at retailers yet.
Nope, I haven’t tested it yet.
I see the Thermalright phantom spirit 120 evo is on the recommended purchase links. I was wondering how does it perform in relation to the models that were tested?
I haven’t tested it yet.
I think you should add Asus Rog and Lian Li (Performance variations) products to this list because their AIO coolers have real good tech specs.
Once they send me products and I test them, I will do 🙂
