ID-COOLING Performance Classification for CPU Coolers
Our TDP (Thermal Design Power) ratings are based on rigorous testing under controlled conditions.
To achieve maximum accuracy, we use two test setups tailored to different cooler types and their intended operating environments.

Actual cooling performance may vary depending on CPU model, motherboard settings, ambient temperature, case airflow, and system configuration.
We use well-ventilated tower cases to allow each cooler to perform at its best.
These ratings are based on fully optimised systems tested at an ambient temperature of 25°C. It must be noted that results can be worse at higher ambient temperatures or in smaller, less ventilated cases.
