The graph below shows the average temperature over a 20 minute stress test using Prime95 with the Blend preset. We found this test to be the best at visually displaying the performance of the coolers as it has the highest range of results. HWInfo64 is used for real-time core temperature readout, thermal throttling alerts, motherboard power consumption, CPU speed and logging of data, while a CrystalFontz CFA-633-TMI-KU is used to monitor and later average both ambient room (two probes) and motherboard voltage regulator heatsink (two probes). Comparison Coolers It boils down to this. You need to dissipate around 200W of heat if you're running at 4.6 Ghz and your cooler has a TDP of 150W. You'll never get full performance out of a 9900k with your Hyper 212 EVO.

Johnpombrio said:OK Phazz, here is the result using Prime. the temps are actually lower. What test do you WANT me to run? The performance of the Hyper 212 EVO is where it really shines, and is the reason why it is regarded as one of the best air coolers for the money. We have used various versions of the 212 for years so the results were not surprising at all.

Both the 5-blade Silencio and 9-blade RGB fans have a rather conservative design considering some of the currentexotic fan and lighting trends. The 9-blade SF120R RGB fan sports narrow, elongated blades, while the 5-blade FP120 features wide, sweeping blades. I would have liked to seen either the 212 evo or 212+ to see if it has any benefit over the originals. After all we are seeing differences in those two 212 versions. I really dont care much about the color, leds, and ect but if it preforms better then let use see. What's more likely is that the temps in your system aren't being reported correctly and you're shortening the lifespan of your hardware. Corsair Commander Pro, 100%/50% PWM Speed profiles (liquid cooling pump always @100%, if applicable) Well-balanced cooling performance provides fin optimizations with perfect balance between high and low speed operations.Data comparisons are based on data collected from testing performed on our new Intel i9-10850K system, including re-visiting many previously covered products which were originally covered on the prior testing platform which pivoted around an i7-5930k (4.20ghz @1.20v).

It should be 200W+. It might even be 225W. Personally I use Core Temp for that. I think more interesting comparisons would be with the Windale 4 and the Gammaxx 400. These are the value choices.
