Results – 36 dBA
Today I would like to introduce you to the Lumen S28 RGB liquid all-in-one cooler from Fractal Design. This cooler attracts with its discreet and simple design, which can be easily enlivened with RGB LEDs and uses an atypical build with a pump in the radiator. So the question remains whether this solution is an effective enough alternative against conventional AIO coolers with a pump directly in the block, which of course I intend to test in today’s review.
Results – 36 dBA
Unfortunately, I was again unable to get results at 36 dBA. In fact, the radiator pump is slightly noisier than the fans running at minimum speed. The lowest measured noise level of the Lumen S28 RGB cooler was 37.9 dBA when the pump speed was reduced by regulating the voltage to 7 V, because at full power the pump is really noisy. However, it’s pretty much pointless to run it at its maximum, as the differences in cooler effectiveness were minimal whether the pump was running at 12 V or 7 V.
