Methodology
An AMD Ryzen 9 3950X has to be cooled in various levels of power consumption, joined by 16GB Crucial Ballistix Sport (2x8GB) DDR4 RAM on an MSI B550 Tomahawk (BIOS 7C91vAB). The Asus ROG Strix GTX 1060 6GB runs in zero-fan mode for the CPU stress tests only, and a Fractal Design Ion Gold 750W serves as the power source. The whole thing is housed in the Thermaltake Core P3 as an open benchtable.
The test system runs Windows 10 Pro 22H2 (build 19045.2251). All data sets are captured with HWInfo64 v7.34-4930 – 5000ms logging, the specified temperature is derived from the sensor CPU Die (Average). Since I don’t have air conditioning, the values in the graphs are the delta between room temperature and CPU temperature. This allows a fair comparison of all cooling systems, even if the ambient temperature is different. The thermal paste included with the cooler or pre-applied is used in each case.
I determine the sound level with a Voltcraft SL-200 meter at a distance of 40cm, which operates in 125ms cycles in Lo mode. The room was measured at 33.2 dB(A), an external sample table helps with the breakdown.
Benchmarks
In the first test run, a loudness of 40 dB(A) was set at 40cm from the center of the pump and fans on the radiator, in my setup that’s 44% PWM on the radiator fans and 100% PWM on the pump:
And after that, this cooler still gets to show what it can do in terms of cooling performance regardless of volume at the highest speed. A maximum of 59.4 dB(A) was achieved at 100% PWM and 40cm distance.

Summary and conclusion
And out of nowhere just comes a new candidate for the top, which currently only has to admit defeat in the highest load level against a competitor with a copper radiator. And the very good result isn’t even everything.
Things like the simple daisy-chain cabling of the fans, a small switch for reducing the maximum speed and angled, rotatable connectors on the radiator are added. Depending on where it’s best to route the fan cable, by the way, it can be easily reconnected.
The small band with logo falls more into the category of “gimmick” for me, but that is a matter of taste. You also have to decide for yourself: Are the excellent cooling performance and many features as well as the 5-year manufacturer’s warranty worth 170€? No matter how the answer turns out, I think a really attractive overall package was put together here. Unfortunately, German retailers do not carry the AiO yet, so it remains to be seen where the actual final price will end up.
