The X 240, however, also had no trouble cooling this 3900X even though it achieved higher temperatures. In terms of idle temperatures, both the H150i RGB PRO XT and Aorus Waterforce X 360 were within margin of error. This was most likely due to the fact the fans on the H150i RGB PRO XT had a higher airflow of 75 CFM in oppose to 60.07 CFM on the X 240 and X 360 at around 2400 RPM. It was cooler than the 78.9C from the Aorus Waterforce X 360. We can see the Corsair H150i RGB PRO XT topped out at exactly 77C averaged during our 20 minute stress test. Lets take a look at the benchmark results below.īelow are the results with the motherboard in control of the fans. I also threw in the Corsair H150i RGB PRO XT for something to compare against. Idle tests will also be a 20-minute run period sitting on the desktop. Ambient room temperature was 20C with AIDA64 running a 20-minute stress test on the CPU, FPU, and cache for maximum heat. The fan settings on the motherboard were set to run all fans in the case at 100% when the CPU temperature reaches 60C, but lowers fan RPM to 25% during idle. But to test the coolers neck to neck, I ran a scenario with the fans attached directly to the MSI Bazooka B550M motherboard. I also tested the CPU temperature on the different modes offered in the Aorus Engine software. To keep the test results consistent between all coolers, I went with a tube of Noctua NT-H1 thermal paste instead of the provided thermal paste from the box. Results may vary depending on the computer case and fan configurations. This was to simulate a real-world scenario on how the cooler will perform in a typical gaming setup. There were three Corsair SP RGB ELITE 120mm fans for exhaust: one in the rear, and two at the top. The case of choice was the Corsair iCUE 4000X RGB with the side and front panels closed off. Voltage setting was set to 1.35v with the radiator mounted at the front of the case. For the testing methodology, both the Aorus Waterforce X 240 and X 360 were mounted on the AMD Ryzen 9 3900X with an all core overclock of 4.2GHz.
