Performance Testing
I’ll be testing this cooler using Asus ROG Realbench with various CPU clock speeds and with the fans set on standard and full speed, Ambient temperature is 23c.
Testing Rig:
- CPU: FX-8350
- Motherboard: ASUS ROG Crosshair V Formula
- Memory: AMD R9 Gamer Series 2400Mhz 11-12-12-31
- GPU: XFX R9 290x DD
- Case: Cooler Master HAF Stacker 935
- PSU: Silverstone Strider Gold Evolution 1200w
- TIM: Gelid GC-Extreme
With the stock fan profile we see that this cooler can handle a FX-8350 at up to 4.6Ghz quite nicely but at 4.8Ghz it just scrapes through the safe temp limit for this CPU (72c)
With the fans turned up this cooler can handle 4.8Ghz quite easily which is rather impressive for a 120mm AIO, the fans are a bit noisier but they really drop the temperatures which makes me wonder if these had some better fans how well this AIO could go.
