Q
What thermal performance is to be expected from the Phoenix
unit?
A: The nominal cooling capacity of the Phoenix units is listed in the table
below:
dT=10K dT=15K
Phoenix 240 * 287W 430W
Phoenix 360 * 425W 637W
Phoenix 140 ** 179W 269W
Phoenix 280 ** 358W 537W
* = Vardar 120 @ 1850rpm
** = Vardar 140 @ 1500rpm
The nominal capacity tells how much heat is the Phoenix unit able to move
with 10°C (10K) or 15°C (15K) increase in liquid temperature over ambient.
Example: Ideally, the Phoenix 140, cooling an overclocked LGA-1151 Skylake
Core i7 CPU (150W) and the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 class GPU (225W)
would achieve liquid temperatures of about 21°C above ambient during maxi-
mum combined (synthetic) workload. given the ambient temperature of 22°C,
this would result in liquid temperature of around 43°C in ideal situation. One
can usually expect 10-15°C higher GPU core temperature (GPU 53-58°C).
The same formula works for majority of hardware as long as the
correct TDP value is used.
