| Mid-Speed Fan Performance Results Mid-Speed Fan Performance ResultsPlease Note: The low speed adapter supplied with the Fenrir actually resulted in a slightly slower fan than the Noctua NF-P12. The difference was enough that its numbers are included for informational purposes. 2.6GHz![]() Once again the HDT based coolers are in their element at this heat load. It is reasons like this that they simply represent very high value in terms of coolers available today. Also as expected, the Fenrir is walking all over the competition while the Cooler Master Hyper has dropped back a position or two as it only seems to shine when paired with a high speed fan. Considering the difference in speed between the stock chromed fan with the adaptor and the Noctua NF-P12, we are coming to be very impressed with that stock fan. 3.42GHz![]() Also as expected, all the HDT coolers except the mighty Fenrir were unable to keep up their commanding lead and have been thoroughly trounced by the Prolimatech. Honestly, even at this temperature and fan speed these two coolers are a dead heat, with the Prolimatech still in the lead by a nose. 3.8GHz![]() At this temperature load the Fenrir finally shows some weakness and has fallen back enough off the lead for us to finally see that its not going to be the new king of air coolers. It still kicks major arse, but it is “only” second best as it has finally reached its thermal limit. | ||
