Temperature Testing
We are testing with an Intel Core Ultra 9 285K on an MSI MPG Z890 EDGE TI WIFI Motherboard, with a MAG CORELIQUID I360, with Kingston Fury Renegade DDR5 CUDIMM at 6400MT/s JEDEC, and Windows 11 Pro on Best Performance power profile and Intel Defaults in the BIOS. We are reporting CPU temperature from HWiNFO64 CPU Package temperature.
In this graph, we are running Cinebench R23 multi-core test looping for 20 minutes, where we then took a reading of the maximum CPU temperature. The Intel Core Ultra 9 285K with the MAG CORELIQUID I360 with the Uni-Bracket hit 91c, and when we installed the Offset Enhanced that temperature dropped down to 87c for us, a difference of 4% cooler, or 4 degrees, which is notable. This was, however, the largest difference, and the only application, where the difference was this large.
In this graph, we are running V-Ray 6 Benchmark looping for 20 minutes. In this one the Intel Core Ultra 9 285K with the MAG CORELIQUID I360 hit 89c, and with the Offset Enhanced that dropped to 86c, a 3% temperature improvement, and a 3-degree difference.
In this graph, we are running a HandBrake video encode on the CPU at 4K. We can see that the Intel Core Ultra 9 285K with the MAG CORELIQUID I360 hit 83c, and with the Offset Enhancer that temperature dropped 1 degree, down to 82c, a 1% temperature difference.
In the graph above, we are running AIDA64’s Stability Test for CPUs, running all the CPU stability tests for 20 minutes. The Intel Core Ultra 9 285K with the MAG CORELIQUID I360 hits 91c, and with the Offset Kit Enhancer that drops to 89c a 2-degree drop, or 2% temperature reduction.
