THE GHOST S1
SetupThe Ghost S1 was tested with an Intel Core i7-8700K Coffee lake- 12 threads / 3.7GHz (4.7Ghz Turbo) , GIGABYTE Z370N WIFI - ITX / Z370, 16 GB Corsair Vengeance, Samsung 950 PRO M.2 (front mounted), ASUS GTX 1070 STRIX, Corsair SF600, In the last setup a liquid AIO CPU cooler was used.
In each configuration different case fans have been used with different TopHats housing them. During all runs the Ghost was fully closed with standard 5mm feet.
MethodIn order to create generate more comparable results, the BIOS CPU fan settings were set to “Normal” for all test runs and heatsinks. Fan settings as follows:
• 0 ⁰C – 0%• 19 ⁰C – 27%• 29 ⁰C – 40%• 39 ⁰C – 54%• 50 ⁰C – 68%• 64 ⁰C – 100%
Fan curve for all setups:
This is by no means optimal for any one setup in terms of balance between noise to heat dissipation but it creates an even playing field for comparison of both temperature build up and noise levels. In theory the temperatures should stay pretty close to each other among the different setups as long as they are able to dissipate enough heat.
TestWith every seutup the CPU and GPU was loaded synthetically using ASUS RealBench with two full cycles, including Image editing, H.264 encoding, OpenGL and Heavy multitasking. Tests take approx. 9 minutes, HWinfo was used to log sensors every 2.11 seconds, after the load was removed, another minute of cool down was logged. Noise has been measured 30 cm away from the CPU-side of the case.
