Test System and Methodology

Nosotros e'er use the same test system and tests with CPU coolers that we compare confronting each other. The full specifications of our examination organization are equally follows:

Examination system:

ASUS P8Z77-5, LGA 1155 socket, Z77 chipset
Intel Core i5 3570K with Gelid GC-Extreme nether the IHS
16GB Kingston 1866Mhz DDR3
128GB Kingston HyperX SSD
Antec High Current Gamer 620W
Cooler Primary Test Demote v1.0

We'd like to say a large give thanks you toASUS, Antec, Kingston, Cooler Main andIntel for providing components that make this testing possible.

Testing Methodology:

We e'er use Gelid GC-Extreme thermal paste to make sure testing reveals the efficiency of the tested coolers not the efficiency of the arranged thermal paste.
Prime 95 is run for 10 minutes and and so the boilerplate maximum temperatures equally recorded by CPUID HWMonitor are noted
The average temperature across the four cores is taken on our quad-core processor
Fans are more often than not left to operate at default PWM profile speeds and with maximum fan speed for reference.If PWM functions are not supported then fixed fan speeds are used and sometimes a low dissonance adapter if appropriate/provided. If stock-still fan speeds or low noise adapters are used information technology volition be clearly pointed out either on the graphs or in the write-up.
All default upshot entries on graphs are for PWM performance unless otherwise specified. A variety of fan speed results are done for a particular production review then removed from the graphs in time to come reviews of other products to avoid ataxia. If you would like to see more fan speed results for a particular product please cheque its individual review.
For water cooling tests, all pumps have been operated at 12 volts directly from the power supply
Delta temperatures are always used (Observed temperature minus ambient temperature) and nosotros keep the ambience at 22 (+/- 1) degrees for all testing. Delta temperatures should right for whatsoever marginal ambient differences between 21-23 degrees.
Acoustic measurements are taken 10cm horizontally away from the CPU cooler with the VGA fan disabled, the hard bulldoze in idle and ability supply isolated. These are taken at desktop idle and Prime95 load.
The cooling functioning tests are run at stock 3.4GHz (with Intel Turbo up to 3.8GHz) and overclocked 4.5GHz (i.35v) settings. Voltages are fixed to forestall inaccuracy between comparisons.
All other coolers in the graphs accept been tested nether identical settings and so are fully comparable.
Each examination is repeated iii times with three remounts for consistency of results
There is approximately a 1-caste celsius margin of error in our temperature recording softwareCPUID HW Monitor
At that place is approximately a 1.5dBA margin of mistake with ourBenetech GM1351 decibel meter

Software Used

CPUID HWMonitor
Prime 95

In all these graphs we may have a few "reference" results of particular products that do not fit into that category for comparative purposes.
