Idle / OCCT GPU
Fan Speed
As you can see in the graphic a passive cooler doesn't make any
noise, well that's what it is made for and means it is noiseless. Now when you
mount the S1 Plus Turbo Module on it, the kit stay very quiet thanks to the use
of a larger fan and also that the maximum rotating speed of this one stay lower
than the other coolers at 30 % fan speed which make it the quietest active
cooler here.
Idle Temperature
In passive mode the gpu is hotter than 10°C in average than
other coolers as you can see. When active mode it becomes 6° cooler but it doesn't
reach as cool temps as other coolers.
Temperature under OCCT GPU
As espected the S1 Plus can't handle the heavy load that OCCT
generate on the GPU, the test stopped after four minutes due to overheat,
meanwhile as you can see even some active cooler failed this test. As for the
active mode, when you mount the Turbo Module on it we can say that it performed
very well, it is more efficient than all custom stock coolers we tested being
way quieter, almost noiseless.
