The results have been arranged in terms of the fan configuration that yields the best results for each cooler. However, it is important to take into account that many coolers come with their own fans and changing those increases the costs significantly, so the “out of the box” cooler configurations have been highlighted in red each group.

The group results end up in the middle of our table just ahead of the Tuniq Tower 120 Extreme and the Thermalright Archon so in that sense, not a bad start. Let’s focus on the different fan configurations for now. The Himalaya in its default configuration only uses a single Wing Boost 140mm fan with which the delta temperature is 34.5C. Adding a second fan doesn’t improve performance at all in this case. Changing to some Noctua NF-P12s, we see a small drop in performance whereas with the 140mm variants, temperatures improve by 1C over the stock configuration. The best performance is the result of using two higher RPM Coolink fans.
