Ice Tower Low Profile Cooler - Test Results

leonahess opened this issue · 2 comments

Hey there,
I did a bunch of tests using the Ice Tower Low Profile version Cooler.
IceTowerResults.zip

Ice Tower
Ice Tower with Noctua

I did tests without the Fan, with the Fan and also swapped the included Fan for a Noctua Fan. I also tested the Overclocking capabilities of this cooler.

For the Overclocks I used these settings:

Frequency overvolt level
1500 0
1750 2
2000 4
2147 6

Firmware:

BOOTLOADER: up-to-date
CURRENT: Tue 10 Sep 10:41:50 UTC 2019 (1568112110)
 LATEST: Tue 10 Sep 10:41:50 UTC 2019 (1568112110)
VL805: up-to-date

First of looking at the passive capabilities, you can see that Even a hefty overclock to 2147MHz is doable, though I am not quite sure if it has stabilised in 5 minutes.

Then comparing the 2 used fans one can see that the Noctua is about 1-2 °C cooler but I think it also spins faster.

Then here is a graph with all the results with the Noctua fan:

And lastly I swapped the included thermal pad for some thermal grease which especially gave a big boost in performance for the 2.147GHz overclock.

I am not sure how much of this you would want to include in README?

Thanks, I've included some data in the main readme. Thanks in particular for the stock data, this had been sorely missing for a while!
