Intel 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 one in the center, 8V ventilation, and the rightmost, 5V.
125W consumption :
Despite its interesting temperatures of 125W, the Kraken Elite 420 RGB is positioned in the mass with a curve seriously following that of an ASUS Prime LC360 aRGB LCD. While NZXT’s kit offers good temperatures at low speeds, we find more balanced kits at high speeds.
170W power consumption :
With a more pronounced consumption of 170W, NZXT’s kit stands out more, showing that it’s more at ease with higher consumptions. In these conditions, it becomes a serious competitor to the BeQuiet! Silent Loop 3 420 or DeepCool’s LQ360.
