Absolute Performance
Temperatures
7 V
To measure cooling capacity we took temperatures in idle and load with the
fans at 7 and 12 V. The idle temperature represents the lowest temperature hit
by the processor package after 10 minutes in idle. The load temperature is the
highest temperature hit by the processor package after one pass of wPrime v2.10.
The wPrime test takes 4 minutes and puts load on all 8 threads. Room temperature
is 25°C.
12 V
Fan Speeds
Fan speeds (RPM) at 7 and 12 V.
Noise Levels
Decibel meter (Voltcraft SL-200) has been placed 1 meter away from the
cooler. Measurements are conducted in a quiet room, where there are no other
noise source. 32 dBA is the lowest we can get in our room. Also here the
measurements are conducted at 7 and 12 V.
Watercooling Pump
Above the Water cooling pump speed (RPM) at 7 and 12 V. Below the noise
levels of the Water cooling pump at 7 and 12 V (pump only, fans are
off).
