275W Load Testing
For our 275W TDP clock testing, we have configured our CPU to run at a fixed all core speed of 5.1GHz on the performance cores and 4.2GHz on the efficiency cores. This yields a fairly steady 275w CPU package power draw when running Cinebench. Stock settings were set for voltage (and all other defaults), and configured memory to XMP mode.
Max Fans – 100% Pump Speed
With the ovens turned up to 11 at 275W of power, the Enermax LIQMAXFLO 360 provides a respectable 90-degree Celsius result, only warmer than the 360 ATMOS by 2 degrees. The CORELIQUID E360 and PL360 FLUX both land at 94 degrees Celsius.
Note that at this speed, the Enermax LIQMAXFLO 360 is running at 1900RPM, the MSI MAG CORELIQUID E360 at 1800 RPM, the PL360 FLUX at around 2300 RPM, and the Cooler Master MASTERLIQUID 360 ATMOS at around 2500 RPM.
1500 RPM Fans – 100% Pump Speed
With maximum heat and fans yoked to 1500 RPM, we find the Enermax LIQMAXFLO 360 a bit warmer at 94 degrees Celsius, still outperformed by the 360 ATMOS but 2 and 4 degrees cooler than the CORELIQUID E360 and PL360 FLUX respectively.
Now that we have seen how all of our units cool, let’s see if we can still hear!
