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.
105W consumption :
When we combine noise and temperature, we find some interesting values, as you can see. NZXT’s kit is certainly one of the front-runners, but in reality it rivals the LQ360 more than the Silent Loop 3 420. However, it’s better with this kit than a Ryuo III 360, which generates a lot of noise.
170W power consumption:
With a power consumption of 170W, the Kraken Elite 420 RGB is more in line with DeepCool’s LQ360, this time gaining the upper hand over the ASUS kit. It has to be said that this model’s larger heatsink should help.
