Temperatures
All temperature charts are sorted with lowest load temperatures at the top.
Looking at stock temperatures for our 7700K, the Captain 240 PRO's position on the chart may not look that competitive – but bear in mind it is only 4 degrees behind the leader of the pack, the Corsair H100i Platinum.
At 4.5GHz the Captain 240 PRO sits middle of the pack, with a peak temperature reading of 58.1 degrees at full load. This is still a good result, putting it ahead of coolers like the Kuhler H20 K240 and Castle 240 RGB.
With our i7-7700k at 5GHz, the Captain 240 PRO does a good job of handling the higher temperature output, sitting at 70.2 degrees – which is impressively only just behind the larger 280mm Cryorig A80. Temperatures are slightly higher at idle, but basically on par with a similar cooler like the Orcus 240.
Noise under load, however, did see the Captain 240 PRO's fans ramp up to 47.4 dBa, which is essentially identical to the previously tested Captain 240 RGB EX. This can be attributed to how similar both coolers are, even down to the included fans.
