For testing we will first be taking our idle temperatures from the Windows 10 desktop after having the system on in an idle state for one hour.

Next we will be putting 100% load on the CPU using Prime95. We will run it and take a temperature reading at the 1 hour mark.

While the idle performance is not that great the load performance of the cooler sits right in the middle of our test group. This is great considering the price of the cooler.
