Our Tests
Hardware Secrets Golden Award

On the tables below you can see our results. We ran the same test with Intel stock cooler, BigTyp 14Pro with fan speed set at its minimum, BigTyp 14Pro with fan speed set at its maximum and Akasa Nero. Each test was made with the CPU idle and then with the CPU fully loaded. Keep in mind that with Akasa Nero and Intel stock cooler the motherboard controls the fan speed based on CPU load level and temperature.

CPU Idle

BigTyp 14Pro (min. speed)17 oC47 dBA880 rpm29 oC36 oC
BigTyp 14Pro (max. speed)17 oC59 dBA1500 rpm26 oC34 oC

CPU Fully Loaded

BigTyp 14Pro (min. speed)17 oC47 dBA880 rpm43 oC77 oC
BigTyp 14Pro (max. speed)17 oC59 dBA1500 rpm35 oC70 oC
Akasa Nero18 oC48 dBA1500 rpm34 oC68 oC

On the graph below you can see the temperature difference between the cooler base and the room temperature with the CPU idle and with the CPU fully loaded. Values shown are in Celsius degrees. Keep in mind that the lower the numbers the best is the cooling performance.

Akasa Nero

On the next graph you can have an idea on how many degrees Celsius the CPU core is hotter than the room temperature.
