Acoustic Performance

Now let’s check out the coolers’ noise:

Since we tested AURAS Fridge with the same fans as XIGMATEK cooler, I decided not to add the results for AURAS with two 92-mm fans to the diagram (they were within the ±0.1dBA measuring error from BATTLE-AXE). Other coolers range from the noisiest one to the quietest. Both new solutions generate very little noise in quiet fan modes and are uncomfortably loud in case of maximum fan rotation speeds. However, AURAS Fridge equipped with a 120x25mm fan working at ~800RPM is practically silent.
