Benchmarks and stress test
To show you the performance of the system, I first ran 3DMark TimeSpy. Of course, I couldn’t resist and also overclocked the graphics card, plus 400 MHz GPU clock and plus 2000 MHz memory clock. The overclocking of the CPU and GPU remains active for all further tests.
The result is impressive. 3DMark says legendary, and I have a similar opinion. Now just the CPU.
Thanks to the overclocking, the small Intel Core i5-12400F beats the Ryzen 7 5800X in both multi-core and single-core. According to the CPU comparison 2024 from Hardwaredealz in Cinebench R24, my overclocked Intel Core i5-12400F is on par with the 12700K with 111 points in terms of single-core performance and comes very close to the 12900K with 115 points. After all.
To illustrate this a little better, I ran the CyberPunk 2077 benchmark. UHD Preset Ultra plus RT Ultra, DLSS 4 Performance plus Ray Reconstruction, Frame Generation off.
So far quite good, but in my opinion the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti is more of a 1440p GPU. So once again with the same settings in 1440p.
Thanks to DLSS 4, you can also use the performance mode in 1440p, which has hardly any visual impact. The combination of overclocked CPU and GPU can still be operated quite well. Especially as the Intel Core i5-12400F only costs around 100 euros. Alternatively, I would rather recommend the Ryzen 5 7500F. It only costs around 20 euros more and offers a better upgrade basis with the AM5 socket.
Now it’s time for a real stress test. I use the CPU stress test from CPU-Z in conjunction with Furmark for 30 minutes. The fans in the case and on the AiO run at around 850 rpm and the pump is set to around 2450 rpm. I let the GPU fans run at the default settings first so that you can better estimate the volume later. Then it starts.
At idle, the PC produces around 31 dB(A) from a distance of around 50 cm, which is just about measurable. If you turn the fans down even further, you can measure practically nothing from this distance, at least not with my measuring device. However, I prefer to leave the fans running constantly at 850 rpm in the hope that the cooling will be sufficient even under load and the noise level will therefore remain constant.
After 30 minutes, the maximum power consumption of the CPU is 122 watts and the peak temperature is 74 degrees. This already shows that Corsair’s three-chamber principle works perfectly. The AiO always gets fresh air and can easily cope with more waste heat. The GPU also always has enough fresh air and is at a maximum of 69 degrees. Since Gigabyte is of the opinion that the fans now have to run at almost 1900 rpm, this has an effect on the noise level. My ears have to put up with a whole 37 dB(A), which I don’t like at all.
In my opinion, this is completely unnecessary. To show you that it can be quieter, I set the GPU fans in the NVIDIA app to just under 1300 rpm. I let Furmark continue to run and I stopped the CPU-Z stress test in favor of Cinebench R23. This means that the CPU’s power consumption is higher, which also increases the temperature. From 90 degrees, the fans of the AiO would go up to 1100 rpm. Let’s see if that happens. So let it run for another 30 minutes.
After one hour of continuous load, it can be stated: The AiO’s fans remain at around 850 rpm, even if the CPU’s power consumption rises to up to 146 watts, as the maximum CPU temperature gets stuck at just 85 degrees. The maximum GPU temperature ends up at 76 degrees. This is all completely harmless. The RAM also remains below 60 degrees, in case anyone is interested.
In terms of noise, I was able to reduce the system to around 31 dB(A) under full load, almost like at idle. The seven Kelvin delta in the GPU temperature, 69 compared to 76 degrees, is hardly noticeable, but the 6 dB(A) less is clearly noticeable, and that counts. At this point, Corsair can’t be blamed, which goes in the direction of Gigabyte in terms of the graphics card’s fan control. So that you can better assess this in gaming, I have used the game Gray Zone Warfare in 1440p with textures on High and the remaining settings on Low with DLSS 4 on Quality.
The CPU is extremely limited here, that’s for sure. The temperatures naturally vary slightly depending on the game, resolution and settings. But the stress test has shown that the cooling concept of the Corsair Air 5400 can cope with any game. Even a CPU with 200 watts of power consumption would certainly not be a problem here. At this point, that should be enough to come to a conclusion, so let’s move on to the last page.
