For the first series of tests we are running the system with the single 92mm Noctua fan on full speed to get a reference point from which to work from.
Temperatures on the processor never exceeded 50c which is a good starting point for the 655k processor. Considering there is no other airflow in the chassis this is impressive.
When the single 92mm fan is set to full speed we measured a total noise of 21.9dBa which was not noticeable by our real world ‘ear' testing. Next we will hook up the Black ‘low noise' adapter and measure performance levels.
