Nice job on the tests Smooty.Did you use a thermal pad or thermal paste?Just kidding, saw where you used Kryonaut.
It's interesting to see the differences when the bottom fans are set to intake. I also have to say that I became annoyed with my pump speed noise at 100% (3000 rpm) and have since lowered it all the way down (2000 rpm) and it is significantly quieter to the point where it doesn't bother me anymore.
Haha!
So it interesting to compare the results with your results.. They show every different results (from my perspective).
@60% (like your test) there is only 4.6c degrees between the best 240 AIO setup and the best C14 setup in my testing. That is with 3 fans on the 240mm. If we take the best results the AIO performed with 2 fans - like your test - the difference is only 2.2c degrees difference. When we look at your test it says 14 degress difference.
This makes me think.. What did we do differently.
1) Mine has buttom intake - which could give an egde to the C14 as it is a more open cooler that can take air from both the side and from the buttom.. whereas the AIO is strictly getting air from the side as it is locked off from the bottom.. So this could explain some of it maybe?
2) You have ramped fan speed. I dont. But that should not really do anything.. It should actually only make your results from the worst setup better. Not the other way around.
3) You of cause use a different CLC/AIO. It can be that the EVGA 240 CLC is just that much better.. or? I chose the H100i Platinum because of the swivel fittings, so that I could mount it better.. and even mount a fan more I found out. And also because it should before better then the Asetek design from what I could find online. But maybe that is bullocks?..
