Hello,
I just have to register and I had some questions about this test (sorry for the presentation part and sorry for the language, I'm French, I use google trad)
I especially wanted to know about the test athlon 5350 with alpine artic M1, How do you explain the temperature of 68 ° C then says that Arctic 49 ° C on its site?
http://www.arctic.ac/eu_en/alpine-m1-passive.html
"Cooling performance & noise level is AMD Athlon 5350 Quad-Core (full load)
Alpine M1 Passive-49 ° C "
What was the temperature of the room during the test?
Thank you. |
Hello to you too
When using passive CPU cooler, and comparing it to active fan coolers, you should especially consider your case airflow.
You can see an example of this in the video on the link you've provided (Arctic web page), where that guy is installing this passive cooler in a case, with the case fan near the passive cooler. Considering the shape of that case and how small his case is, this practically makes his CPU cooler active (fan blowing over the Apline M1 fins).
If you don't have similar case fan configuration, you might experience rather different temperatures.
Even in an open test bench, the temps would be higher because there is no air movement through the Alpine M1 fins.
Another thing to take notice of, is the measuring software used, because AMD platform on different apps, provides different CPU temps from different sensors (try the AMD Overdrive to see real temps).
EDIT:
Btw nice site you got there thony

If you wanted to compare temps (100% CPU load) of this PCE review, with the results obtained in your test, there could be some differences in CPU voltage, because of different motherboards used. Probably some differences in ambient temperature as well, so it is somewhat difficult to compare two different test setups and their final results.
