Interesting Observation After Removing RGB

[Rocketdog2112]

I decided to remove the Arctic Liquid Freezer II 360 RGB (with RGB controller) and reinstall a Arctic LF II 240 (non RGB) i had on the shelf.

I had earlier in the day ran a Cinebench 23 since i hadn't done so in a while. I ended up with a score of 11220.

 

This evening after removing the ALF II 360 RGB and reinstalling the non RGB 240, i decided to run Cinebench again (same 10 pass) to help heat up the thermal past and my score went up to 12026. A gain of 806 points by removing the RGB?

 

Strange but true...

That’s neat

Run variance basically. Also one os might have been on longer than the other.

 

Unless you had rgb software running in the background. Then that explains the lower score easily.

impossible! everyone known RGB gives more performance.

The 360 does have a case mounted controller with software.

There ya go. Once that software wasnt running your cpu got resources free.

Ferrari-red is the fastest color!

Only if the light is set to red. 

OP probably set their lighting to green, which makes it more eco friendly but at the slight cost of performance.

did you set the right argb color?

argb psu also have worse ripple for w/e reason...
