**Testing Stress Tests and Cooling Solutions**

For this stress test and I ran it for half an hour just to make sure that all of the liquid in the AIO was nice and saturated like a professional and then I was also running a stress test on the graphics card just so that we have maximum thermal saturation in the case to see how much of a difference that makes and then I took a measurement of the TDI temperature of the CPU and also did a vrm temperature check just to see how the different cooling solutions affected the vrm temperatures.

**Initial Test Results**

I initially ran the tests with the CPU at 3.8 gigahertz at one point three five volts and the AIO could manage this no problem at all we were getting about 68 degrees Celsius on the CPU and the V RMS were sitting at about 65 C. What I redid though was test with the little Wraith cooler yeah it just kind of shut down after two minutes of running.

**Cooler Performance Comparison**

I gradually lowered the voltages and the actual core frequency as it became unstable to a point where this cooler could actually manage the maximum settings that this cooler could firmly deal with was three point six five gigahertz at one point three volts at these settings with the AI oh I was getting sixty degrees Celsius on the CPU and 59 degrees Celsius on the vrm with this Wraith prism cooler. The AIO is performing significantly better than the air coolers.

**Scythe Cooler Performance**

I couldn't get those settings to work and I had to drop them further because it seems to really struggle with an eight core sixteen thread CPU now I ended up running it at one point two five volts at about 3.5 gigahertz and at these settings I was getting 75 C on the CPU and 65 C on the vrm.

**Power Draw and Noise Levels**

Now let these settings if I went any higher the power draw on the CPU would pretty much double and then the scythe cooler couldn't handle it anymore so at one point two five volts we were getting about sixty watts of power draw on the CPU and if I went higher than that it jumped all the way up to like 130 watts and then yeah the cooler would fart out when it comes to noise levels considering how balls-to-the-wall these tests are all of the coolers were running at 100% fan speed and a hundred percent air pump speed where relevant now at this point they're all loud I don't really have a way to test exactly the decibel difference between them and I live essentially in an active construction site so noise is a bit of an issue but have a listen and tell me what you think.

**Worst-Case Scenario Testing**

Bear in mind that all of these tests are worst-case scenario it's essentially bending the coolers over a table and having at them and while gaming you'll definitely have lower temperatures with the Wraiths prism and you could probably push the core frequency higher but bear in mind the AIO is also going to be much cooler now while gaming at the same settings.

**Conclusion**

I think it's great that NZXT made the decision that they did considering the form factor of this case and I think it's great that you can drop high core count CPUs in here and not have to worry too much about exactly what voltage it's running at and what frequency because the cooler will probably be able to handle it especially with things like PBO on rise in 3000 CPUs it means the cores will boost nice and high in a way that it wouldn't be able to on an air cooler that will fit in the case.

WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enas you can tell by my hair I've clearly recently been savaged by something so today's video is gonna be all about how I got my hair caught in a wood chipper but in all seriousness considering my little mishap in my NZXT h1 review I decided to see how this little bad boy will perform instead of the AIO that it comes with the really cool thing about the NZXT h1 is once you remove this 140 millimeter niño from the case there's actually quite a lot of clearance for air coolers in there this Wraith prism is actually quite a tall cooler but as you can see here it fits like a glove and it means that you've got quite a big variety of options for low profile air coolers in this case I did also test the size of big shuriken 3 in there but that didn't go very well it seems like it doesn't like an 8 quart 16 thread CPU which very neatly brings me to the components I used for this video which is an asus x4 70 i motherboard with horizon 7 1700 X then I initially overclocked to 3.8 gigahertz at one point three five volts but spoiler alerts this this couldn't handle that very well so I had to lower a little bit later but we'll get into that while we talk about the actual thermals and then it's got 16 gigs of ram in it and an r/t x 2060 as well a ZOTAC Edition and with that let's get into how I actually did these tests and for this video I decided to be a real professional the room was at an ambient temperature of 25 degrees Celsius when it comes to thermal paste I used the same thermal paste for all of the tests I even tried to get the same amount for each application although I don't have a sensitive enough scale to actually waive the thermal paste that I used so yeah that didn't happen and then as far as software goes I was using Ida 60 for a stress test and I ran it for half an hour just to make sure that all of the liquid in the AIO was nice and saturated like a professional and then I was also running a stress test on the graphics card just so that we have maximum thermal saturation in the case to see how much of a difference that makes and then I took a measurement of the TDI temperature of the CPU and also did a vrm temperature check just to see how the different cooling solutions affected the vrm temperatures now like I said in the beginning of the video I did initially run the tests with the CPU at 3.8 gigahertz at one point three five volts and the a IO could manage this no problem at all we were getting about 68 degrees Celsius on the CPU and the V RMS were sitting at about 65 C and what I redid though tests with

this cooler could actually manage the maximum settings that this cooler could firmly deal with was three point six five gigahertz at one point three volts at these settings with the AI oh I was getting sixty degrees C on the CPU and 59 degrees C on the vrm with this Wraith prism cooler I was getting 86 degrees Celsius and 78 degrees Celsius on the VR M so as you can see the a IO is performing significantly better and then finally when it comes to the little scythe cooler I couldn't get those settings to work and I had to drop them further because it seems to really struggle with an eight core sixteen thread CPU now I ended up running it at one point two to five volts at about 3.5 gigahertz and at these settings I was getting 75 C on the CPU and 65 C on the vrm now let these

watts of power draw on the CPU and if I went higher than that it jumped all the way up to like 130 watts and then yeah the cooler would would fart out when it comes to noise levels considering how balls-to-the-wall these tests are all of the coolers were running at 100% fan speed and a hundred percent air pump speed where relevant now at this point they're all loud I don't really have a way to test exactly the decibel difference between them and I live essentially in an active construction site so noise is a bit of an issue but have a listen and tell me what you think bear in mind that all

could probably push the core frequency higher but bear in mind the AIO is also going to be much cooler now while gaming at the same settings with 1.3 volts add a core frequency of about three point six five gigahertz I was getting 60 C on the wraith prism and then with the AI oh I was getting forty five degrees Celsius so yeah the 140 millimeter a IO in the NZXT h1 massively outperforms the air coolers that I have to test so yeah looking at the temperatures it's pretty clear why NZXT made the decision that they did considering the form factor of this case and I think it's great that you can drop high core count CPUs in here and not have to worry too much about exactly what voltage it's running at and what frequency because the cooler will probably be able to handle it especially with
