![]() Running at full speed, Gigabyte claims that the fan runs at a noise level of 23dBa, which can’t really be called "silent" in anyone’s books - although it's not exactly loud or even that intrusive, to be honest. Well, we were certainly very surprised by the Gigabyte G-Power II Pro’s performance, and at full speed it comfortably takes the top spot on our heatsink result table, beating the Thermalright 120 eXtreme fitted with a Noctua silent fan by two degrees. We used the results from the three separate runs and created average temperatures - that's exactly what you're seeing here in our results tables. These problems could include differences in the tension of the mounting bracket, consistency and amount of thermal paste, or improper mounting. It helps us get more familiar with the heatsink in question and also helps us eliminate inaccuracy in our results. Many other sites don’t go to these lengths, or don’t re-fit in between tests, but we think it’s an important part of the testing process. As part of the testing process, we fully re-fit the heatsink between each test to ensure we’ve eliminated any potentially erroneous results caused by variables in the mounting process. If you want to read the full testing methodology then you can do so here, but in brief the method includes running a CPU and RAM stress test to generate the maximum amount of heat from our 130W TDP processor. TestingAs is standard practise for heatsink testing here at bit-tech, we followed our heatsink testing methodology, using the default hardware setup and mounting into our trusty Lancool K7 Metal Boned case.
