SilentiumPC Spartan 5 Max tests under higher load (125 W)

CPU coolers, Extra tests | | Ľubomír Samák

We’ve already tested the SilentiumPC Spartan 5 Max CPU cooler, but with a fairly low-power processor. Its results thus merged with the simpler (Spartan 5) model without the “Max” in the name. On more powerful CPUs with more thermal output, however, the situation changes somewhat. How does the Spartan 5 Max compare to other coolers on a processor with 125 W, i.e. at the TDP level of Intel’s “K” models?

Results – 36 dBA


Why is there a missing value in the cooler chart? Either because the cooler could no longer handle the load in the specified mode, or because the fan could not be slowed down to the required level, typically the mode with the lowest noise level.

What would be the results of standard motherboard tests if we used the MSI MAG CoreLiquid I360 cooler with them? Better. Specifically, lower temperatures would be achieved for the CPU cores, which would then run at higher clock speeds, which naturally means higher computing performance. Not dramatically, but if we are to illustrate the situation with plates of scales, their position is quite clear. Read more “Test: MSI Z890 Ace (and CU9 285K) with CoreLiquid I360 cooler” »

In addition to the standard variant, the Fortis 5 is also available in a completely black version. Compared to the lower-end series (Fera 5), it has two more heatpipes which increase the cooling performance of this cooler. In practice, however, it only does better in some cases. When the processor can benefit from the “extra material” available in the Fortis 5 cooler. How so? We’ll break everything down in this detailed analysis.
