IntelBurnTest is a nonofficial, user-friendly version of Intel’s brutal Linpack benchmark. If you use a screensaver, disable that too. You don’t want your computer to doze off while you’re busy burning it in. You’ll also want to halt your testing if temperatures continuously hover around those marks for an extended period of time.īefore you start your testing, I recommend closing any nonessential programs and diving into your system’s Power settings to prevent it from going to sleep. If you see CPU temperatures starting to creep north of 70 degrees Celsius, or graphics card temperatures around 105 ☌ ( though that varies by model-do your homework!), stop the test and add more cooling to your computer. You can fry your components if a worst-case scenario occurs and you’re not paying attention. While many components will automatically shut down if they overheat, not all will, and you want to pull the plug on your testing if your hardware hits dangerous heat levels. You’ll want to have at least one of the two programs open during stress tests. SpeedFan does the same, though its interface isn’t quite as polished as HWMonitor’s.

CPUID’s HWMonitor software does exactly that, providing you with a real-time glimpse of your components’ temperatures, voltage, and fan speeds. Before you start torturing your PC, you’re going to need a way to keep tabs on its screaming. Laying the groundwork Here’s a look at HWMonitor and SpeedFan’s interfaces side-by-side.Īctually, it isn’t. Ladies and gentlemen, it’s time to start your engines.
Very impressive results indeed.All that said, the actual process of stress testing isn’t terribly complicated, though it can be time-consuming. When not being equal, it either beat it by a degree or just fell behind by a degree or two.
#94 DEGREES PACKAGE INTEL BURN TEST PRO#
I did do single fan configuration testing with the Noctua NH-D15 as well, and as you can see from the included charts, it was able to hold its own and stay on par with the Dark Rock Pro 4. It was always 1 to 2 degrees warming at the beginning of each test. Of note, the Dark Rock Pro 4 started at a minimum temperature of 35 degrees while the Noctua NH-D15 started at 33 degrees.
During my testing, the Noctua NH-D15 was always able to recover better and maintain a lower minimum temperature than the Dark Rock Pro 4. Finally, a two-hour gaming session on Fortnite with maximum settings had the Dark Rock Pro 4 reach 67 degrees while the Noctua NH-D15 was 5.9% cooler at 63 degrees. Prime95 had the Dark Rock Pro 4 again reach 71 degrees, and again, the NH-D15 beat it out with a maximum of 70 degrees. While the Dark Rock Pro 4 reached 71 degrees, the NH-D15 hit just 68 degrees an improvement of 4.2%. Next up was the Intel Burn Test and I did start to see substantial differences in temperatures here. This is a bit of a wash and is negligible in terms of performance. The Noctua NH-D15 beat out the Dark Rock Pro 4 by 1 degree Celsius as it reached a maximum of just 60 degrees while the Dark Rock Pro 4 hit 61 degrees. First up is the Cinebench testing of 10 consecutive runs. So, let’s take a look at the results now. Finally, the cooler comes with Noctua’s NT-H1 thermal compound, which has proven to be one of the best, if not the best, thermal paste on the market currently. The cooler comes with PWM support and a Low-Noise adapter, which can reduce maximum fan speed from 1500 to 1200RPM to assist with lowering acoustics. In dual fan mode, Noctua recommends standard RAM heights up to 32mm.
The NH-D15 has exceptional RAM compatibility due to its design and the recessed lower fins, which allows for up to 64mm of clearance in single fan mode. The heat pipes of the NH-D15 are spaced further apart than the NH-D14, which will allow for more uniform heat distribution of the larger surface area which should allow for superior efficiency. The cooler features six heat pipes and a fin-stack of 150mm heat pipes composed of copper along with a copper base. The cooler comes with two of the NF-A15 PWM 140mm fans and is a dual tower cooler. This is what Noctua calls a “dedicated special edition” for the AM4 platform to support Ryzen processors and features the SecuFirm2 mounting system. First, let’s get some of the specifications out of the way here.
