Processor cooler test - Noctua against Intel Core i5
This is the page our lazy readers read. They are not interested in a lot of rice, they slam into the middle and push the charts in, although in our opinion the numbers in many cases do not reveal enough about the products tested. This is also the case now, as the three coolers performed almost equally. The fact that the result hasn’t even been exactly the same is due to the fact that we sent the Intel Core i5 processor a bit to put it porously. This means that the CPU was running at 2,66 GHz instead of the factory 4 GHz, plus it got an extra 0,2 volts to finally warm up a bit.
As you can see it will get warmed up too, but really just a little bit.
As we do with cooling tests, we start with load measurement. The warm-up period shows data for 10 minutes after power-up, results are read every 6 seconds, and Everest was used to monitor and load the seeds.
The result is not surprising. He won the most stocky rib, the second was the 12-centimeter piece with fewer tubes, and the third was the smallest prince. This is no ordinary folk tale.
The second measurement shows the cooling of the ribs. We monitor the data for 5 minutes after the load ceases, from which the graph is composed. The difference compared to the previous measurement is that here we can observe which rib is able to transfer the collected heat to the air the fastest without load. Interestingly, the rib, which has a standing design but is only equipped with a 92 mm fan, defeated the third partner with a lamella fever running horizontally with the motherboard.
As before, we now draw everyone’s attention to the fact that the evaluation of the most important graph follows. The value of DeltaT shows how much temperature difference was measured on the ribs compared to room temperature. This value is a really fair result if we are wondering which rib is stronger.
Our last graph shows the average temperature during the measurements. This therefore includes the temperature measured at the beginning of the load and the highest temperature measured. We are not surprised by the result, the standing rib fitted with a 12-centimeter valve was convinced, and the last was a smaller version of it, which has only a 92-millimeter air choke.
