Finally, I’m not reporting Delta T over Ambient, instead I maintain a room temperature of 21 degrees and ensure a consistent ambient temperature a thermocouple is positioned next to the test system.
This is a pretty standard configuration, air-flow is good and in a 21 degree room, I’d say this is an optimal setup.įor recording temperatures I’m using a digital thermometer with K-Type thermocouples and I’ll be reporting the peak rear PCB temperature. Then at the top of the case is the H150i 360mm radiator with three 120mm exhaust fans. The 5000D has been configured with a single rear 120mm exhaust fan and a single 120mm intake fan. We're again using our dedicated test system using the Corsair 5000D Airflow case, powered by the RM850x power supply and Corsair iCUE H150i Elite Capellix White for cooling. There are plenty of results to go over, so instead of taking an individual look at all 12 motherboards, we're going to jump straight into the testing.īut first things first, let’s talk about the test conditions. It takes roughly an entire day to test a single board as many needed to be tested in two configurations: one using out of the box power limits and another with all power limits maxed out.Īlong the way, we produced a preliminary article which you may recall where we discussed the insane performance differences seen between Intel B560 boards when using 65-watt CPUs such as the Core i7-11700, where performance could be up to 50% greater depending on the boards tested.ĭetours aside, it’s now time to take a wider look at the Intel B560 mobo landscape.
It’s taken weeks to get all this testing done and in total we’ve tested a dozen B560 motherboards priced between $80 and $150, using the Core i5-11400, Core i7-11700, Core i5-11600K and the Core i9-11900K. After a long, long testing process, we're finally ready to show you our Intel B560 motherboard VRM thermal data.
