Temperatures
All temperature charts are sorted with lowest load temperatures at the top.
With our 7700K at 4GHz performance looks pretty good with the K240 sitting in between the both Gamer Storm Castle and Captain, and with the exception of being around 1 degree hotter at idle, the Antec basically came out on par.
When overclocked, the same trend is displayed although the K240 does move between the Arctic Liquid Freezer 240, and the Gamer storm Castle 240. This is slightly better performance when our 7700k was overclocked, but still pretty standard results for a 240mm AIO liquid cooler.
Noise levels also follow this trend, with the K240 sitting in the middle of our currently tested coolers. It only sits 2dBa behind our quietest cooler tested – the Cooler Master MA410M – but cooling performance at both 4GHz and 4.5GHz is much better with a difference of around 10 degrees in both instances.
