Test Setup
To test a CPU cooler we look at key areas including noise and heat dissipation. We run all of our tests multiple times to obtain a fair average set of results and run at idle and load capacities to show how the temperatures differ between the different states. We also record the sound level of the cooler in an idle and load state to see if it is bearable at its different settings.
