More tests (SPL, Temperature) - CPU & GPU

I did more tests as I just learned that the CPU stock air cooler is set to LOW switch setting by default.

CPU stock cooler at default LOW switch setting

CPU (orange) / GPU (purple) temperatures:


  • 0:57 to 1:12 - PC at balanced mode
  • 0:20 to 0:57 - PC at high-performance mode
  • 0:02 to 0:20 - PC at high-performance mode with MS Flight Simulator 2020 running
Sound pressure level (SPL) at 1m (PC at high-performance mode with MS Flight Simulator 2020 running):


  • Ignore the random peaks as they're from study room door being closed or opened
  • Average around 52dB
CPU stock cooler at HIGH switch setting

CPU (orange) / GPU (purple) temperatures:

  • Gap around 0:22 to 0:26 is when PC was shutdown for the air cooler switch to be changed to HIGH
  • 0:05 to 0:18 - PC at high-performance mode with MS Flight Simulator 2020 running
  • CPU temperature looks to have reduced by around 2-3C
SPL at 1m:


  • 0:00 to 04:30 - still at high-performance mode, PC startup then MS Flight Simulator 2020 running, average around 53dB
  • 04:30 to 10:00 - closed MS Flight Simulator 2020 and PC at balanced-mode and then a PC shutdown at 09:00
  • 09:20 onwards, room ambient SPL averages around 43dB

CPU stock cooler back to LOW switch setting

SPL at 1m (PC at balanced-mode):


  • Average around 49dB
