**Testing the Tranquil Tempest Cooling System**

The Tranquil Tempest cooling system has been put to the test in our lab, and we're excited to share our findings with you. The testing was conducted in a temperature-controlled room with air conditioning and heaters built-in to maintain an ideal temperature of 18.5 degrees Celsius. We also ensured that decibel levels were steady at 45.6 decibels during all tests.

**Test Environment**

To ensure accurate results, we set the fan speeds to specific values - 50% and 100% - instead of using the auto feature. This allowed us to isolate the performance of each fan speed setting without any potential adjustments that could affect the test outcomes. Our testing was conducted on a 10th Gen Intel Core i7 processor with 16GB of RAM, a 5-cubed SSD, and the same motherboard for all tests. The full specifications are listed in the description.

**Test Results: Idle Temperature**

In our first test, we checked the idle temperature in Celsius with the fan running at 50% speed. As expected, the Tranquil Tempest performed reasonably well, but not spectacularly, reaching a temperature of 23 degrees Celsius. While this may not be ideal, it's worth noting that this is also the cheapest option on the market compared to other coolers like the Intel stock cooler.

**Test Results: Full Load Testing**

In our next test, we started the machine up and ran it at full load with the fan speed set to 50%. The results were a bit disappointing, as the Tranquil Tempest struggled to keep the processor cool, reaching temperatures of 92 degrees Celsius. This is significantly higher than some of the other coolers on the market, which managed temperatures in the high 80s and low 60s.

**Test Results: Fan Speed Testing**

We repeated the full load testing with the fan speed set to 100%, hoping that this would improve the cooler's performance. Unfortunately, it didn't quite make a difference, as the Tranquil Tempest still struggled to keep up, reaching temperatures of 87 degrees Celsius. This suggests that the cooler may not be suitable for high-performance applications.

**Test Results: Overclocking**

In our final test, we overclocked the processor to 5.1GHz and retested the cooler. Unfortunately, it failed to perform well, causing the system to crash. This is a major concern, as it suggests that the cooler may not be reliable for overclocking applications.

**Test Results: Sound Levels**

Finally, we tested the sound levels of the Tranquil Tempest with the fan speed set to 50%. As expected, this cooler was one of the quietest on test, but unfortunately, it didn't quite match its performance. The results suggest that while this cooler is quiet, it may not be the best option for those seeking a balance between quietness and performance.

**Conclusion**

In conclusion, our testing has shown that the Tranquil Tempest cooling system performs reasonably well, but it's not without its limitations. While it's one of the cheapest options on the market, its performance doesn't quite match that of more expensive coolers like the Arctic Freezer 7 or Sirocco. If budget is a concern, there may be better options available in the market. However, for those seeking a balance between price and performance, we would recommend spending a bit extra to opt for a cooler like the Sirocco or Phantom Black from GELID or GLID.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhi everyone phil from tech for tech today we're going to be looking at this from jelly it is the tranquilo rev4 cpu cooler if you want to click the links below in the description it will take you to the cheapest price for this available in your country okay so we've got the g lid solutions tranquilo rev4 i think the correct way to pronounce this four heat pipe cpu cooler with pwm fan which basically means the fan changes speed if you plug it into the racks or kit on your motherboard it's got hardware info excellent awards in jerry 2018 so it's not brand brand new but it is compatible to intel socket 775 all the way up to 1156 doesn't mention anything about the 1200 series and also compatible amd's from am2 am3 fm1 fm2 and so forth so it's mainly designed for probably slightly older ones rather than your top end new ones but it potentially could check their website it will give you a bit more compatibility it does actually say they're now compatible with am4 so i'm guessing it will actually work with a 1200 as well um usually if it works with 1151 socket it will work with 1200 because it's practically the same um so it tells you all about the information on the side so you've got full power heat pipes i'm not sure why they're called power heat pipes there you go you've got intelligent pwm curve so that means it basically makes the fan get faster and louder um when the computer gets faster silent operation high airflow double layered bladed fans and five year warranty gives you more specifications down there as well a bit more on the back again pretty much what i've already told you on there and on this side it shows you a bit more information as well it shows you how the air gets pushed through to keep it cool okay so what we got in the box let's start off with these two bags here you've got one bag for amd one for intel so it tells you how to fit each one with a specific manual inside you've got four clips to attach the fan to the cooler the reason why four two is for this one but it gives you an option of adding eight second fan on there if you wanted obviously you'd have to go out and buy another fan if you did wish and then you've got all your brackets what would go on the back side of your motherboard which you'll need depending on which of the sockets and connections you use them but there is two instructions looks like one for amd one for intel you've got the fan itself which looks like it's nine blades four five six seven eight nine nine blades it's nothing special there's no anti-vibration or anything on there it's quite strong feeling blades on there so it gives you a rough idea but as i said there's no rubberized anything no anti-vibration or anything on there the back's pretty straightforward it's dc 12 0.25 and 1000 rpm so it's not the fastest advantage either you do have a cable on there which is a 4-pin pwm which basically means it plugs into a full pin um socket on your motherboard or header should i say that cable to me looks like it's going to be roughly 30 centimeters long don't know a little bit out it's 50 centimeters long so 500 millimeters so that's that's pretty much long enough you'll need to be honest for a cpu cooler if you need anything longer than that you're putting it in the wrong place in all honesty um but there we go so it gives you a rough idea of what the fan itself looks like nothing too special this is the cooler with heat pipes you can see the four copper heat pipes it looks like there's eight but it isn't it's one goes round then two three and four does have a nice shiny base there with heat pipes as you can see and that's where your thermal paste will go and obviously that'll attach to your motherboard depending on the fittings it will need and that's the top view it's got obviously the name across the top you can see the fins you can partially see through the fins there you go gives you a rough idea so they're not the most densest um of pins but saying that they're generally good enough for for most usage to attach it you get your fan obviously position your cable whichever side you wish you get two of these clips it went all tangled together there we go finally okay and you get one clip you put it over the fan there and there and what you do is basically push this bit into there usually fine though it's usually best pushing that into the gap and then over what it can differ her model so we'll try it this way and see how it stretches okay to fit this what you have to do is not do what you would think is connected up to there and there you would actually connect it to the holes between the fans which is there and there and then link it over and it will fit in the grip on the bottom side if i can actually get it to do it like that okay so not not the easiest so i'll show you again these things can always be a bit of a pain so you hook it into the fans and then push down and it clips like that you can then get another fan if you wished depending obviously the model or fan you're getting but if you do get a fan let's say one like this be cool one it hasn't got a separator in the middle uh like this one does you need to have a fan like that otherwise it isn't going to fit so you need to have one what's got the gap and then you put that one there and then click those on obviously you need to make sure the boat blowing that way um or the same direction otherwise if you've got one blowing that way one blowing that way it's not gonna cool down properly you basically pushing air against each fan so well that's the basics to it there isn't much to see we'll attach it to a motherboard and give it some testing in a few seconds okay down to testing in basics all testing is done on the same machine with the same version of windows or the same version of programs we disable internet access so no programs updates or anything can be installed or updates what can affect any of the results all background tasks which are non-essential get disabled so again they will not affect the testing the testing room has air conditioning slash heaters built in to keep the temperature at 18 and a half degrees celsius also decibel levels are steady 45.6 decibels when testing things like fans we set the speeds at 50 and 100 and not auto because obviously if you've got something set auto it will adjust this fan speed up and down to adjust the temperature to the optimal temperature so it can affect results so we set the fan speeds at set speeds like 50 and 100 all testing is done on a 10 700 k i7 processor 16 gig of ram as well as a 5 cubed ssd and the same motherboard and all the other components are the same for every single test full specifications are in the description okay so down to testing in this first test we checked the idle temperature in celsius this is with a fan running at 50 speed so the fan is set at 50 so it won't go faster or slower and the computer is basically just sitting in windows doing nothing here you can see the tranquilo foot is actually the hottest one we've tested at 23 degrees celsius um so that's not the best but it is also the cheapest one compared to obviously the intel stock caller which is generally free on this next test we basically start the machine up and run it at full load so that means the processor is running flat out with the fan speed at 50 and you can see here the tranquilo 4 struggles it's managing 92 degrees celsius compared to a lot of the others in the high 80s and low 60s so it's not running too well when obviously you're limiting the fan which is a shame but again it is the cheapest one on the market on this next test we do basically the same thing again but we put the fan speed on whack on 100 you can see it does cool down a little bit better 87 degrees celsius but it's just as if it just can't keep up with that socket so in all reality looking at this at the moment i would say this would be best suited for something around the range of an i3 or an i5 or any other low range mid-range processors rather than a high-end one we did the same test again unfortunately on this one it failed it's basically where we overclocked the processor to 5.1 gigahertz it was unfortunately unable to keep the processor cool enough they're causing it to crash uh with just the same with the intel stock cooler so again i wouldn't recommend this for overclocking either so unfortunately it's failed on that test on the next test we're just testing the sound levels with the fan at 50 percent uh this obviously cooler only has one fan attached to it so it shouldn't be the noisiest on the market and actually is one of the quietest but it performs the least best it's probably the best way of putting it as well so unfortunately yeah it's quarrier but it doesn't have that performance there to keep the coolness uh on the cpu we did actually refit the cpu a few times just to make sure it was snug and connected properly and there's a proper connection there was um but unfortunately it just was unable to keep it cool unless we had a faulty product but who knows uh again we did the same test again but this time with the fan speed on 100 and the tranquilo again was the quietest out of the lot but again unfortunately again with the performance it didn't bode too well so in conclusion this is the cheapest um heat sink and cooler we've tested on the list at the moment with obviously the exception of the intel stock cooler and well it performs the same way as well it performs like it's the cheapest cooler on there it is around about 30 ish i'd say around about 32 pounds which is not a bad price but i'm pretty sure there's cheaper stuff on the market maybe the freezer 7 or the freezer 13 from arctic might be a better option but then again when you're spending 32 pounds i'd say suggest spending a few quid extra and maybe going up to the sirocco or the phantom black from geld or g lid however you want to pronounce the name because they perform drastically better as good as performance as a lot of the arctic coolers and in some cases better um for a lot less and as i said if you're spending 32 pounds spend 40 quid go down the route of getting the sirocco um we're not going to give this a recommended order or anything because it doesn't really do awful lot for its price again we are using it on the socket 1200 it's a hot cpu but it does seem to struggle a little bit is probably the best way of putting it youhi everyone phil from tech for tech today we're going to be looking
