Performance
Thermal performance is judged on four factors overall; the idle temperature at stock and overclocked speeds, as well as the loaded temperatures at stock and loaded speeds. During the testing, whether that be the idle or loaded testing, the system is either in idle or full load for a duration of five minutes before any readings are taken. The average temperature across all four cores is then noted down and used as the results. All room temperatures are recorded beforehand as well as during the test to ensure that the delta temperature is as accurate as possible.
Without surprise, the Alphacool kit does very well and sits comfortably at the top when compared against the Corsair H80i, the Cooler Master Nepton 240M and the air cooling god, the Noctua NH-D15. A particular highlight is the idle temperature performance with near ambient temperatures recorded.
