The temperature/noise ratio
On these graphs of perf/noise ratio, we remind you that the best is to be placed as much as possible on the bottom left of the graph. For the reading, the left most point symbolizes the ventilation in 12V, the one in the center the ventilation in 8V and the right most in 5V.
On our CPU consuming 65W, the Vida 240 Slim struggles to stand out from the competition. As we can see, it is behind and is outdone by the other models in the comparison. On the other hand, its good performance at low speed allows it to limit the damage where it proves to be quite formidable.
With an increased consumption, our kit stands out a little more from the competition. We think especially of the Pure Loop 2 (be quiet!) and the ML240 Illusion (Cooler Master) that it outperforms. Nevertheless, at low rpm, we feel that the situation starts to get tense due to the stretching of the curve.
At 125W, we notice that the situation remains tense at low rpm. Clearly, despite faster low speed fans, the slim radiator is felt. But this does not prevent our kit from competing with thicker AIOs. Despite this, it offers a temperature to noise ratio similar to the Kraken X53 RGB at low speed.
