Overclocked Temperatures


Idling temperatures for Noctua NT-H1 on a non-overclocked processor average around 28.5°C and that goes as well for the other two top performers here. The weaker pastes average 30.5°C. It also performs admirably when the processor is overclocked and idle, but these tests are very close between all of the competitors due to the low amount of heat generated by the processor when it is at idle. Temperatures, when idling at 3.6GHz, are looking good as well where again the Noctua NT-H1 is up-to-par with the ‘top’ performers, averaging 32.3°C.
