If you want, you can visit our [guidelines] to see how we test our products. The ambient temperature during tests were 21º Celsius.
There is not much to say before the tests. The installation is quite easy if you already have a back plate installed behind your motherboard. Otherwise you will have to take your motherboard out, install the back plate and then mount your motherboard back into your case and then the cooler.
As I’ve had the BTF90 in the case before this cooler I didn’t have to uninstall the motherboard in the test rig before mounting the NV120.
Temperatures is measured with an external temperature measurement tool and using two programs. The first is “CoreTemp” and the second one is “Intel Thermal Analysis Tool” named respectively in the temperature result table Core / TAT.
Also included here is the thermal conductivity list which informs you of the thermal conductivity for Nickel and Chromium.
