Overall Performance (Intel)
To calculate each cooler’s overall performance, I take into account three factors: the CPU’s temperature, wattage, and frequency, by using the following equation:
(Wattage / Temperature) x Frequency
Each chart shows the cooler under test as 100% and every other product’s performance as relative to it.
The overall performance is highly competitive at 20 dBA, but at higher noise levels, the performance gap widens with the top-performing Noctua cooler. Remember the price difference between the NH-D15 G2 and the CM coolers.
Performance Per Price (Intel)
With prices ranging from $30-40$, the performance per price ratios are sky-high.
