Testroutine

In our tables we mention absolute temperatures as well as the temperature difference between CPU core and environment temperature. We further provide subjective information about the noise level of the fan the cooler comes with.

The noise level we classify as follows: very silent, silent, audible, noisy and very noisy.

The CPU temperature we evaluate with Real Temp and with Prime95 we reach a 100% CPU load.

Futher we test the different fans with different voltages and under different conditions. After one hour warm-up we perform three test runs where every single one takes one hour:

• Standard clock 12 volts load
• Standard clock 6 volts load
• Overclocking 12 volts load
