Normalized Noise Tests
For these tests, I set the cooler’s fan(s) to speeds with noise output at the following predefined levels: 20/25/30/35/40 dBA. I skip the corresponding tests if the cooler’s fan(s) cannot reach some noise levels. Finally, I include a test where the cooler’s fan(s) spins at full speed.
Intel Results
CPU Temperature
The temperatures are low enough, especially as the fan speed increases.
CPU Frequency
CPU frequencies are high enough.
CPU Wattage
CPU power consumption is not that high, especially for AIO standards. This means that the socket mounting mechanism can be improved.
Cooler Exhaust Temperature
I measure the temperature at the exhaust side of the cooling solution.
AMD Results
CPU Temperature
Low temperatures on the AMD socket.
CPU Frequency
CPU frequencies are high.
CPU Wattage
CPU’s power consumption is high, meaning the AMD mounting mechanism allows for good contact with the CPU’s heatspreader. The offset mounting also helps in that.
Cooler Exhaust Temperature
Like in the Intel results, I measure the temperature at the exhaust side of the cooling solution.
