Since we’ve recently changed our older test system to this one we do not have a lot of coolers to test. These graphs will be updated as we test more coolers.

For testing we will first be taking our idle temperatures from the Windows 10 desktop after having the system on in an idle state for one hour.

Next we will be putting 100% load on the CPU using Prime95. We will run it and take a temperature reading at the 1 hour mark.

As you can see the results are pretty good, especially for a C-type cooler.
