The cooler and each fan link to separate profiles; an air duct is listed as a test accessory, and the result still belongs to the complete configuration.

Farther from the center means a higher relative result within the same test environment. Only measured metrics with at least three comparable records are included; missing values are omitted, and acoustics stays out until enough formal dBA data exists.

S5M COMPONENT TEMPERATURES

Component temperatures

Averages from the final five minutes of AIDA64, with maxima shown separately. These values reveal overhanging airflow and in-case heat soak and are not folded into the CPU cooling rank.

CONTROLLED ACOUSTIC RECORD

Measured acoustics

Noise results compare only formal records from the same environment and measurement generation. GM1351 is the current meter; a future professional-meter generation will remain separate from these results.
