EXCLUSIVE - AKASA REVO HEAT SINK FAN

In the test set-up of the new AKASA REVO we decided to put together a test system that really does run hot with the aid of AMD’s 6000+ CPU which draws upwards of 120 Watts and most certainly puts nearly every cooler – with the exception of a couple out of the running in use with this CPU. It’s an extremely powerful CPU and most times sits at the heatsinks at their top end of usage, which in turn brings a whole load of noise. The claims that the AKASA REVO would nearly resolve all these issues we put it to the test with the following system configuration and threw into the mix some benchmarks and software that fully stretch the whole system I/O. This would without a doubt mean that the Heatsink fan would function at its fullest workload capacity.
