Intel CPU temperatures
Processor at 65W :
We start with the 65W profile, a rather low power consumption, especially when you consider the basic 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 65W consumption profile, the first thing we notice is that the cooler behaves quite well. As you can see, it offers top-of-the-range performance. At high speed, it rivals the MA824 Stealth, but is no match for the Assassin IV. Finally, at low speeds, it’s on a par with the big coolers from be quiet!
95W processor :
Here, we’re taking our readings on a Core i5 13600K, so power consumption reaches 95W. For this, both the P-Core and the E-Core operate at 3.5 GHz, while the VCore is set to 1.210V!
However, when we opt for such a large heatsink, it’s to mount it on CPUs that consume more power. Already, with a consumption of 95W, the A115 perfectly rivals DeepCool’s Assassin IV. We’re talking about the same performance. In this sector, only Cooler Master’s 53°C reference will do slightly better at full speed.
130W processor :
Finally, we end 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!
With a processor consuming 130W, the A115 still does very well. At full power, it ranks among the most efficient heatsinks in this comparison. In fact, it ties with the Assassin IV and MA824 Stealth. However, as the fan speed decreases, it offers similar performance to a Dark Rock Elite from be quiet!
Summary :
As we’ve seen, Corsair’s A115 delivers solid performance in terms of heat dissipation. Its performance puts it on a par with other high-end dual-tower fans such as the Assassin IV or Cooler Master’s MA824 Stealth.
