As for the testing of this Sonic Tower CPU Cooler, I have been using the latest motherboard temperature monitoring software to record down the CPU temperature. During the testing of it, the room temperature is around 28 Celsius. The Sonic Tower CPU Cooler has a good performance during the Idle and also during the loading. As you can see in the performance table above, The Sonic Tower CPU Cooler performs well during idle which is at 34 Celsius with the 120mm fan and 38 Celsius without the 120mm fan. While the loading performance is running Stress Prime 2004 together with 3DMark05 is at 45 Celsius with the 120mm fan and 52 Celsius without the 120mm fan. Overall performance of the Thermaltake Sonic Tower CPU Cooler gives very good results.
