Cooler Master Nepton 240M Review: The Power of Silence
« Test System and Review Methodology | Final Thoughts »
Benchmarks
While I do not have a large bank of 240mm AiO’s to compare, in fact only one at this moment (Raijintek Triton), these tests are designed to show a range of behaviour so users can see how the CM Nepton 240M behaves across fan speeds with noise levels measured for each. A Noctua NH-D15 is provided in the initial default fan benchmark as a baseline reference, being a high-end CPU air cooler that is well-known to all. 240mm AiO comparison lot will be increased further as more units are reviewed.
