The new intel 12400 goes up to 73 degrees with heatsink as standard

As is customary, serious heatsinks rarely fulfill their function, and this case is no less, since the new intel 12400 reaches up to 73 degrees with heatsink as standard.

The middle 163.com Which are the ones who have carried out the tests, we can see how the series heatsink comes in a beautiful blue ring as a decorative way, as it is not RGB, a simple sticker and that’s it.

It is built with medium quality plastic with a block as a copper base, although as explained, this new heatsink weighs slightly more than the series heatsinks of past generations.

There have been some tests using AIDA 64 to test the dissipation capacity, as theoretically the full load power consumption of the i5-12400 is around 80W.

Although it cannot be seen very well in the image, we will tell you that AIDA 64 details us that the speed of the heatsink fan works at an average of 1300RPM.

This means that it is very quiet and if we get closer we can see that the air is barely heard as it can be heard in other heatsinks.

With AIDA 64 in stress mode, and with the information it shows HWINFO, shows us that the processor is fully loaded and with a consumption of almost 85W, and after about 8 minutes of full load testing, the 12400 goes up to 73 degrees.

By the time the processor reaches those levels, the heatsink fan spins from 1300RPM to 3100RPM, with the consequent increase in noise (quite high, although within what is tolerable).

These tests have been carried out by squeezing the processor, but it is to be expected that with more normal use such as playing games, the temperatures will remain quite stable within normal limits.

Us we recommend that if someone acquires this processor, go for a heatsink something recognized as Cooler Master Hyper 212X, Arctic Freezer 34, be quiet! Pure Rock, and others of the same range, in this way you will ensure very good temperatures and a fantastic dissipation.
