THERMAL BENCHMARKS

We use Cinebench R23 multicore (stability test), for CPU thermal testing. This provides worse case scenario for given CPUs thermal output.

CONCLUSION

Thermalright’s AXP120-X67 has good build quality and simple; effective mounting system. The stock fan reached 40dB at full load (1900RPM).

Thermalright’s AXP120-X67 is an excellent alternative to Noctua’s NH-L12S and offers better performance than the L12 Ghost Edition. The AXP120-X67 is also available in black where Noctua’s low profile equivalents are not.
