Cooling the MOSFETs
What are the best settings for Fuma? This is a question that belongs to our complementary review where we traditionally test heatsinks with reference fans. This time in two configurations, with one and with two fans. We went from really noisy settings to completely silent mode. The temperature behaviour is captured minute by minute. Let’s take a look at how this twin-tower handles passive cooling compared to top-notch coolers.
Cooling the MOSFETs
Cooler | Cooler | Speed and voltage of the fan | |||
Cooler | Cooler | 39 dBA | 31 dBA | 33 dBA | 31 dBA |
Arctic Freezer 33 | Arctic Freezer 33 | 1× 1148 rpm | 8.8 V | 1× 848 rpm | 6.23 V |
SilentiumPC Fera 3 v2 | SilentiumPC Fera 3 v2 | 1× 1393 rpm | 9.4 V | 1× 971 rpm | 6.59 V |
Noctua NH-D15 | 2× 1073 rpm | 8.1 V | 2× 700 rpm | 5.87 V | |
Reeven Okeanos | 2× (1044 + ? rpm) | 7.77 V | 2× (800 + ? rpm) | 7.58 V | |
Scythe Fuma rev. B | 2× 923 rpm | 7.19 V | 2× 821 rpm | 6.37 V |
