Coolers tested:
Test CPU: Intel Core i9-13900K (all-core frequency and VCORE locked to 5.5GHz/4.3Ghz (P/E Cores) 1.3v with level 5 LLC)
Enermax
Do their AIO's STILL gunk up and clog or did they finally admit their fault and make a proper product?
Be a shame if they included the most sold brand of them all, Corsair.
I mean who wants to see that right
Odd that they don't test Arctic, regularly regarded as the best and best price/perf.
This was my first thought at seeing their list.
Arctic definitely should have been tested. But also on their list, I would have expected Cooler Master, NZXT and Corsair.
Yeah, the "Year Roundup" only having 8 products...I'm guessing that's not even 1/3rd of the number of AIOs that launched this year, let alone the best options from previous years.
Here you have arctic LFII 360 also tested with P12 Max fans on the same 13900K after OC: https://www.kitguru.net/components/cooling/james-dawson/arctic-fan-test-p12-vs-p12-max/
Oh I'm not interested in personally seeing Arctic LFII benchmarks (I'm already running the LFII 420mm myself)
I just meant this person should have included one of the most well regarded coolers available. Having more people cover it is good, but you can't really compare results between two different reviews very effectively with the number of variables that can change.
and more I'm sure I didn't think of.
