Even Intel’s weakest box cooler (Laminar RS1) isn’t trash

Results: Lower noise level (39 dBA)

We didn’t cover the Pentium G7400’s cooler in our tests, but we’ll fix that now. The Laminar RS1 also comes with the Celeron G6900, another economical processor whose demands are far exceeded by the box cooler. Also in this class there is an efficiency gain over the last generation, and the Laminar RS1 is more efficient than its predecessor with a copper core at the same noise level, which deserves increased attention.

Results: Lower noise level (39 dBA)



Why is there a missing value in the chart? The reason was that the cooler could no longer handle the load in the specified mode. However, the box coolers cannot be regulated to the lowest noise level of 31 dBA, because the whining fan motor starts to make significant noise at such low speeds.

They were so emphatic about their cooler being optimized for Intel LGA 1700 processors that we had to try it out. And given that the CPS RZ820 is a “hefty chunk” of material, the reference sample selection included the kind of competitive coolers that are at the top of the tower model database. These should give the PCCooler CPS RZ820 a good run for its money. At the same time, this cooler should not be more expensive.
