Cooler Master MasterLiquid ML360R versus EVGA CLC 280

[nick name]

Can I compare these two charts directly?  They are from Tom's Hardware. 

 

The results seem to indicate unknown (to me) conditions that would make a direct comparison inaccurate.  

 

I am looking at purchasing the EVGA CLC or the Cooler Master MasterLiquid.

Between those two, EVGA for sure.

I have the CLC 280 on my R7 2700X, and CLC 120 on my R5 1600, both are awesome coolers.

What temps do you see in which uses?  Can you do a Cinebench run and make note of the speed and voltage?  Score doesn't need to be noted.  I would appreciate it immensely.

What temps do you get with that cooler?

My concern is that all three smaller coolers (on the EVGA chart) outperform the larger coolers (on the Cooler Master chart).  It gives the impression there was some unknown condition making all those smaller coolers appear to perform better.

I can hit upper 70s - sometimes the 80s with my R7 2700X if it spikes suddenly or especially if it's on stock settings. The 2700X has a totally nuts boost feature that totally violates the TDP and voltage settings to boost higher if at all possible, so it's a toasty chip. (still not as toasty as my 5GHz 8600K that hits 83C on an NH-D15S, which is about equal to a 240mm AIO) 

On the R5 1600, haven't seen it get much over 60 at all, even rendering stuff in blender for 4-6 hours or so. It usually stays in the 40s-50s.

Do you know what the speed is and the voltage?

Thank you.  I have read their review also.

Stock on the R5 1600, and 4.0GHz/1.4v on the R7 IIRC (the voltage is so high cause I had it at 4.25 but dropped it down to 4 for rendering some stuff because I haven't quite got it stable yet).

Thank you for that.  Would you describe the room the PC is in as warm?  I get into the 80*C range at 4.25GHz and 1.39V when my room is warm.  Around 85*F warm.  I am currently using a Thermaltake Water 3.0 Riing 360 AIO, but I came by it second-hand.  It was installed in a used PC that I parted out and sold.  I kept the AIO because I assumed nobody would buy a used AIO on eBay.  It seems to be performing well enough, but I don't know its exact age and worry about its warranty and life-span.  

 

I wonder how an EVGA Asetek AIO seems to perform so much better than other brands' Asetek AIOs.  I would assume they would all be nearly the same.

My room is usually pretty cool, I did hit 85C on the stock cooler, but not on the AIO.

I’m interested in the 360 master cooler as well, I just love how it looks .. but does it perform as good or worse than the evga ?

[accolade]

I ordered the ML360R a few days ago and now before it arrived I'ved opened a return.  This colorful AIO is sadly not Threadripper compatible. 

 

So EVGA CL36 for me.
