AMD temperature-to-noise ratio
On these perf/noise ratio graphs, we remind you that it’s best to be positioned as far to the bottom left of the graph as possible. For ease of reading, the leftmost point symbolizes 12V ventilation, the central one 8V ventilation and the rightmost 5V.
At 100W, it’s clear that the be quiet! AIO is putting its best foot forward. Noise is contained and temperatures kept under control. On a low-power CPU, it will prove as efficient as an H170i Elite Capellix. However, the Liquid Freezer II 240/280 are waiting for it!
On our 150W CPU, the situation changes, with the Liquid Freezer II 280 taking the lead. Nevertheless, the Pure Loop 2 280 still boasts a better temperature-to-noise ratio than the Kraken in 240 mm and 360 mm. Likewise, the H170i Elite Capellix has a hard life, while the Liquid Freezer II 240 runs out of steam at low speeds.
At 200W, the Pure Loop 280 is clearly reaching the end of its life. Indeed, it’s missing part of its curve, and what’s left doesn’t really put it forward… Well, at least there’s something left compared to the Kraken 240 RGB, which has completely disappeared from the radar.
