BENCHMARKS

Cinebench R23 multicore (stability test) is ran for period of 30 minutes. This is worse case scenario for a given CPU. CPU coolers are typically tested across range of CPU’s for data validation. Gaming thermals will be significantly lower in most instances.

CONCLUSIONS

Thermalright’s AXP90-X47 Full is the best 47mm tall low profile coolers currently available. In our testing, we found the cooler performed better with heatpipes orientated towards the motherboard I/O shroud.

This could be due to cold plate design, heatpipe positioning in relation to LGA1700 and AM5 CPUs dies. In the second mounting orientation, the AXP90 series coolers perform significantly worse.
