200W TDP Testing
For our 200W TDP clock testing, we have configured our CPU to run at a fixed all-core speed of 4.8GHz on the performance cores and 3.8GHz on the efficiency cores. This yields a fairly steady 200w 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
Getting the testing started at our stock configuration and fans running at full speed across the board, the IceFLOE OASIS 360 landed itself in first place at 66 degrees Celsius, likely due to its fans operating at a higher maximum speed than there rest of the field. The Cube 360 delivered 68 degrees, LIQMAXFLO 69 degrees, and the CORELIQUID E360 73 degrees.
Note that at this speed, the Iceberg Thermal IceFLOE OASIS 360 was running at 2200RPM, the AZZA Cube 360 was running at 1850RPM, the Enermax LIQMAXFLO 360 was running at 1900RPM and the MSI MAG CORELIQUID E360 at 1800 RPM.
1500 RPM Fans – 100% Pump Speed
Dropping all of the competition down to 1500RPM consolidated the playing field a bit with the IceFLOE OASIS 360 still in the lead by a single degree Celsius at 68 degrees. In second place, the Cube 360 delivered 69 degrees, and the LIQMAXFLO a degree warmer at 70 degrees. The CORELIQUID E360 trailed at 74 degrees Celsius.
1000 RPM Fans – 100% Pump Speed
Further lowering fans down to 1000 RPM at our base configuration found the IceFLOE OASIS 360 maintaining its lead at 73 degrees Celsius, two degrees cooler than the Cube 360 at 75 degrees Celsius. The CORELIQUID E360 and LIQMAXFLO tied two degrees warmer at 77 degrees Celsius.
600 RPM Fans – 100% Pump Speed
At the lowest fan speed testing level, the results got shaken but not stirred a bit with the IceFLOE OASIS 360 slipping into second place at 84 degrees Celsius. The CORELIQUID E360 comes from behind to take the lead at 83 degrees with the LIQMAXFLO holding down third place at 87 degrees Celsius. In the rear was the CUBE 360 barely hanging on at 94 degrees Celsius.
The interesting thing to keep note of with the results across these different fan speeds is that each product is clearly optimized for best performance at different fan speeds and targeted noise levels.
250W TDP Testing
For our 250W TDP clock testing, we have configured our CPU to run at a fixed all-core speed of 5.1GHz on the performance cores and 4.0GHz on the efficiency cores. This yields a fairly steady 250w 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
Bumping the juice (Ed: Too soon?) to 250W of power at maximum fan speeds finds the IceFLOE OASIS 360 in the lead at 77 degrees Celsius, leading the LIQMAXFLO’s 81-degree result. The Cube 360 makes an 82-degree showing and the CORELIQUID E360 lands at 86 degrees.
Note that at this speed, the Iceberg Thermal IceFLOE Oasis 360 was running at 2200RPM, the AZZA Cube 360 was running at 1850RPM, the Enermax LIQMAXFLO 360 was running at 1900RPM and the MSI MAG CORELIQUID E360 at 1800 RPM.
1500 RPM Fans – 100% Pump Speed
Synchronizing the fans at 1500 RPM found the IceFLOE OASIS 360 maintaining its lead with a 79-degree Celsius result. The LIQMAXFLO moves up to second place at 84 degrees while the Cube 360 and CORELIQUID E360 tie in the rear with 87 degrees Celsius.
1000 RPM Fans – 100% Pump Speed
At the 1000 RPM level, we find the IceFLOE OASIS 360 clearly in the lead at 86 degrees Celsius. Behind it are the Cube 360 and CORELIQUID E360 tied at 93 degrees Celsius and the LIQMAXFLO in the rear at 94 degrees.
275W TDP 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
At our maximum overclock level, the IceFLOE OASIS 360 delivers a temperature of 86 degrees Celsius, which defeats the LIQMAXFLO’s second-place effort at 90 degrees Celsius. A degree above that is the CUBE 360 at 91 degrees and three warmer than that is the CORELIQUID E360.
Note that at this speed, the Iceberg Thermal IceFLOE Oasis 360 was running at 2200RPM, the AZZA Cube 360 was running at 1850RPM, the Enermax LIQMAXFLO 360 was running at 1900RPM and the MSI MAG CORELIQUID E360 at 1800 RPM.
1500 RPM Fans – 100% Pump Speed
Bringing the fans down to 1500 RPM at our hottest test scenario finds the IceFLOE OASIS 360 carrying the checkered flag at 89 degrees Celsius. The LIQMAXFLO and CORELIQUID E360 landed 94 and 96 degrees, respectively. The CUBE 360 noped on out as the processor started throttling when it hit triple digits.
Now that we have seen how all of our units cool, let’s see if we can still hear!
