Let’s see how the demanding OC stress test thermal performance hierarchy changes with a 40dBA lock on the noise output.

Despite losing slightly more of its fan speed percentage versus the other AIOs, Fractal's Lumen S36 RGB locked at 40dBA noise output delivers excellent cooling performance.

This time, we see the Apaltek 3rd Gen-based Fractal cooler taking its first victory versus the Asetek Phanteks 360mm AIO. The margin is, once again, very tight. But Fractal's Lumen S36 RGB is continuing to show impressive cooling capabilities even at a more refined and tolerable noise level.

This is particularly promising when accounting for the wide speed range control of the PWM fans at 500-2000 RPM.
