As mentioned on the previous page, we’ve made some recent changes to our cooling department and the testing methodology. Therefore our results graphs are starting from fresh – we’re working tirelessly to populate these graphs, but we hope you can appreciate that these results must be done fairly, and more importantly, correctly.

We measure the noise levels by disconnecting all fans within the case to isolate the CPU cooler only. We then measure noise levels at idle.



20 minutes later, after hitting the heatsink with a heavy dose of AIDA64, we take another reading - again, with all case fans disconnected.
