Testing

Our CPU cooler test system is made up of the follow components…

Scythe Fuma 2 Rev. B CPU Cooler

Case: be quiet! Pure Base 500DX
CPU: Intel Core i5-10600K

For testing we will be using AIDA64’s “CPU Package” reading for temperatures and we will also be using a RisePro sound level meter to record sound levels. Sound levels are recorded 3 inches above the top mesh of the case.

We will be comparing the Scythe Fuma 2 Rev. B to the following CPU coolers…

Idle readings are taken on the Windows 10 desktop an hour after the system has been turned on. “Load 1” readings are taken using AIDA64’s system stability test with just the “CPU” selected. “Load 2” readings are taken using AIDA64’s system stability testing with both the “CPU” and “FPU” selected. Here are the results.
