The coolers are installed in a fully assembled system to replicate a realistic scenario. Lastly, AM3+ is AMD's ageing but still current socket for its most powerful chips, and the results here are roughly applicable to all AMD sockets since they use the same cooler mounting mechanism. Anyone using the newer LGA2011-v3 socket will want to focus their attention here too. The LGA2011 socket is used for Intel's Extreme Edition CPUs, the fastest consumer chips around. The LGA1150 socket is likely the most popular among enthusiasts, and the results from this should be roughly applicable to LGA1156, LGA1155 and LGA1151 users too. All systems are overclocked to place added stress on the coolers. As such, we test each cooler in up to three separate test systems depending on what sockets are supported. I think that the majority of people don't care how heavy their cooler is, only about the price.Test SetupThe performance of CPU coolers can vary depending on the CPU they're installed on due to differences in socket mounting mechanisms and processor thermal properties. You would also need to use the ambient temperature delta rather than the absolute temperature in any sort of ratio for the results to be meaningful. And a dead CPU.Īlso, the higher the temperature (Bad), the lower the ratio, which doesn't make sense. Other charts count as well when making a final decision.īy that logic, having no cooler at all is the most efficient. Panteck PH-TC14PE weighs 970g without fans, performing at 46c.970g/46c= 21.09 efficiency ratio.CM Hyper 212 EVO Weighs 580g with fan, performing at 51c.580g/51c= 11.37 efficiency ratio.Ideally, the lower the ratio, the more efficient a cpu cooler is.

To heatsink manufactures: Do something innovating if a wall seems to be in the way! Just look at PSU manufactures, they are reaching 92% Platinum rating, from 82% rating four years ago.Example: Noctua NH-D14 weighs 900g without fans and it did 45c at full load. Not just slab more metal to defeat the other guy. Could you guys do a heatsink Weight/cooling efficiency chart? This is to make readers see which manufacture did its engineering mission to make a much more effective unit than its competition. It is nice that new cpu heatsinks are becoming better in performance, but i don't like the fact that they are becoming bigger and heavier than previous cpu heatsink kings by only earning a degree or two above the rest. I remembered that in a few months later Noctua took the crown as top performing air cooled heatsink. Other charts count as well when making a final decision.īunnywannyI been using a Prolimatech Megahalems since its introduction back in 2009. Ideally, the lower the ratio, the more efficient a cpu cooler is.
