| Test Results
Here are the results from my tests. First, unlike other roundups,
I won't be posting the idle temperature because :-
- All the coolers remains at about the same temperature when the
processor is idle (0% usage).
- Even if cooler A cools better than cooler B at idle, I don't
think this is as important as its performance at maximum load.
- It takes very long for the heatsinks to cool down.
So, all the results listed here are at maximum load only. These
coolers were tested in just 10 minutes. Unlike AMD processors, Intel
processors have an on-die temperature sensor. So, the temperature
readings change instantly when as the processor heats up. The
heatsinks of most coolers here take less than five minutes to reach
maximum load temperature.
BTW, I didn't add the FOP38 result because I didn't have one with
me during my tests.
