Intel CPU temperatures
Processor at 65W:
We’ll start with the 65W profile, a rather low power consumption, especially when you consider the base consumption of this 13600K. We’re here to simulate the power consumption of small processors with few cores or low power consumption. In theory, everyone should do well!
On our Intel Core i5 13600K processor, Dark Rock Elite performs rather well, titillating DeepCool’s AK620 Digital. However, against the Assassin IV and MA824 Stealth, we notice that it lags slightly behind.
As for Dark Rock Pro 5, it lags behind at low speeds. Overall, it’s a better match for Noctua’s NH-U12A chromax.black.
95W processor:
Here, we’re taking our readings on a Core i5 13600K, whose power consumption reaches 95W. For this, both the P-Core and E-Core operate at 3.5 GHz, while the VCore is set at 1.210V!
Overall, at 95W, the Dark Rock Elite doesn’t come close to separating itself from the AK620 Digital, while the Dark Rock Pro 5 is one degree less powerful. Incidentally, speaking of the latter, it stands out more from Jonsbo’s NH-U12A chromax.black and HX6250.
130W processor:
Finally, we conclude our series of readings with our Core i5 13600K, which consumes 130W. To achieve this, we push the frequencies a little further, as well as the VCore, which now rises to 1.270V!
We finish with a consumption of 130W on our Intel processor. Clearly, high power consumption isn’t too bad for our be quiet! cooler. The Dark Rock Elite is more clearly ahead of the AK620 Digital, while the Pro 5 comes in on the heels of the DeepCool heatsink.
Summary :
On our Intel CPU, the be quiet! heatsinks blend in a little more. However, the hierarchy remains quite clear: the Dark Rock Elite is ahead of the Dark Rock Pro 5. In all cases, we’re dealing with heatsinks that are pretty solid on their feet.
