CPU Cooler Test Methodology Breakdown youtu.be/DS53cSzMdCE
For all CPU air cooler thermal testing, this test bench system features an Intel Core i5 12600K with all P cores overclocked to either 4ghz at 1.100v for a 105 watt power load, 4.5ghz at 1.250v for a 159 watt power load and 4.8ghz at 1.325v for a 194 watt power load under a multicore workload. All tests are run at 40dba noise normalised (Measured 20 inches away from the system) with an ambient noise floor of 32.6dba and a controlled room temperature of 21 degrees celcius. All tests are run for a 15 minute duration to ensure components reach a temperature equilibrium.
