Air Cooler Challenge – 7 Way Round-Up

Lastly, for easy comparison, we have created side-by-side graphs for the maximum temperatures that were measured with each of the cooling solutions in the 4820K (at 3.9GHz), 4820K (4.5GHz), FX-3870 (stock) and FX-9590 (stock). Missing bars means that there was no score for that cooler, for example on the 4820K charts, there is no score for the Cryorig M9 (i) because that cooler does not support LGA2011.

4820 39 Max Temp

4820 45 Max Temp

FX8370 Max

FX9590 Max

  1. KG, how could you not include the Noctua D15 in this roundup? Commonly known to be the best performer of the moment….

  2. This..

  3. It wasnt missed, this isnt meant to be a roundup of every high end cooler, many of which we have already reviewed. This is a look at an unusual selection of coolers that most people have missed. Its a little ‘off beat’ intentionally.

  4. Yes, but more to the point it could have been used as a baseline to compare others relative performance 🙂

  5. I’m happy not to have the D15 in as it’s price is very much a barrier to using it (as well as the weight!) – it’s good to see focus on other makes such as Cryorig.

  6. Not a valid test of anything without a Noctua NH D15 at least as a baseline.
