Does TurboJet Improve CPU Temperatures?
Does the fancy cooling actually help cool the CPU or is it all for show? To answer this question, we test the CPU temperature with the TurboJet with and without a case fan, and the CPU temperature with a case fan alone. Here are the results with an ambient temperature of 22 C: Fan Configuration Bus Frequency Idle Temp (C) Load Temp (C) Delta (C) TurboJet + Case Fan 2.8 GHz 34 49 15 3.9 GHz 45 74 29 TurboJet Only 2.8 GHz 34 50 16 3.9 GHz 38 63 25 Case Fan Only 2.8 GHz 47 65 18 3.9 GHz 47 75 26 *Note: Case temperatures were not recorded as the GA-G1975X does not have a motherboard thermal probe. Some pretty interesting data here! It would seem that with both the TurboJet and the Case fan both turned on, the CPU temperature actually increases! This would imply that the addition of a case fan disrupts some airflow to the socket area. With the TurboJet running alone, it does a better job at cooling the CPU than just a case fan. However, I caution against just running the TurboJet as seconda
