Let's first compare the values on the Intel CPU in the range of 65 to 245 watts of waste heat. The gray dotted curve represents the values I achieved with the NH-U12A, the blue dotted curve for the one I could achieve with the Alphacool polar bear Aurora 360 with the same fan curve and also three fans on the 360 radiator. The comparison to the air cooler may seem a bit unfair, but you can also see that push-pull with two fans cools quite well.
Up to approx. 155 watts, the difference between the EOS 360 and the Polar Bear 360 Aura is really marginal and it only becomes significantly larger when power is significantly higher. For measurements up to a maximum of 125 watts and a simple delta to room temperature, the difference will surely fall within the range of possible measurement tolerances. Since I generally wait at least 30 minutes until the final values are available and the room temperature can be kept largely constant, the values visible here are a pure laboratory value, which is unlikely to be expressed in practice.
The inverse sounds all too logical: the private user will hardly notice it and can easily cool all the cooling that the Intel shelf gives with the EOS 360 (and also the 240).
I come to the volume in a while, because this noise emission is caused by the fans and the respective fan speeds. If we now take a look at the speed curves, then the EOS even has an advantage, because the speeds are (design-conditional) well below what one lives out with the fans of the two reference coolers. For example, if you the polar bear 360 Aurora at 155 watts at 1300 rpm and thus to the level of the EOS, then the cooling performance of the polar bear changes only marginally and both coolers are almost at the same cooling level.
Finally, let's look at the noise emission, that is, what is so often referred to colloquially as volume. Up to approx. 125 watts the system remains quite quiet and it doesn't really get loud even at almost 250 watts. The sovereign cooling is bought with a rather moderate 42 dB(A), which is not really much and really does not have to shy away from the comparison to smaller water cooling or even other closed compact water cooling. The fans are better than the price would suggest, even if the fans of the two reference coolers remain a little quieter despite higher speeds.
