Stock

At stock speed we see the Matterhorn pure perform within 1.3 points of the Noctua which is pretty impressive. You could attribute that to the 960RPM of the WingBoost fan compared to the 760RPM of the Noctua, none the less the Matterhorn Pure remained silent.

Overclocked

When overclocked the Wingboost fan spun up to its max of 1560RPM to keep the CPU cool within 2.5 points of the Noctua. At this point you could say that the Matterhorn is holding up here using a faster fan, but the Wingboost, while audible, did not become disruptive nor uncomfortably loud.

Passive

Running passive tests allow us to see the efficiency between the two coolers, with the Noctua pulling away by nearly 10 whole points we start to see the difference between a £31 cooler and a £65 one.
