Ryzen 7 9800X3D with PBO +200 MHz and Curve Optimizer -20 on all cores on an ASRock X870 Pro RS, Prime95 version 30.19 build 20 for about 5 minutes until the temperature stopped rising, ambient about 22 C, pump at 100% (2940 rpm measured against the 2800 rpm rating). Fan settings 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% (1750 rpm at 75% and 2400 rpm at 100%). The review does not name the paste, the case or open bench, or the noise meter and distance. It reports 49, 51, 55 and 60 dB(A), which are far above NZXT's 31.9 dBA fan rating and have no stated distance, so the noise values are not stored. CPU power is not stated. The review gives no temperature above ambient.
