Intel RM1 heatsink tested with Core i5-12400 processor, what are the temperatures?

However, Intel has basically only modified the design of its boxed heatsinks, which are otherwise very similar to the old models, ie they are still heatsinks with a copper core and aluminum radiator fins. The RS1 model for the weakest processors might not even have a copper core, but RM1 pro Core i3 až Core i5 is mine. It was this cooler that fascinated us with its plastic fins, which only imitate the equipment more powerful model RH1, but of course it also has aluminum ribs, but they are hidden below. –

The new Alder Lake-S processors equipped with these coolers are slowly making their way into stores, so it’s no wonder they’re leaking to the public. Server 163 (via VideoCardz) could take pictures of the RM1 heatsink, which is included with the Core i5-12400 processor, and he could also test whether it was enough for his work. –

We can take a closer look and see how the plastic ribs reach completely down to the level of the ends of the metal ribs. The buckles use classic plastic locks, which Intel has used for many years, the aluminum body of the heatsink will again be extruded with a copper contact surface set in the middle, so we can say that compared to older models, nothing fundamental changes in this case.

The Core i5-12400 should have an average load consumption of 81 W with a maximum of around 89 W, which also applied to the FPU load test in AIDA64, below which the processor temperature rose to a maximum of 75 ° C after eight minutes and averaged 70 ° C, but at room temperature only 20 ° C. The fan spun at 3100 RPM under such a load, which was simply and subjectively marked as audible.

However, the RM1 cooler should also be enough to cool the more powerful Core i7 processors, which will be equipped with two other Golden Cove cores compared to the Core i5-12400, as well as a cluster with four weaker Gracemont, so in their case temperatures could be on the edge, namely especially when the ambient temperatures are significantly higher.
