THETA Cooler Performance
THETA is a Cybenetics performance rating. It is not part of our ISO/IEC 17065 certification schemes and is outside our accreditation.
Overall Performance (OP) = W × F / T, where W is the average CPU power at the EPS connectors (W), F the average CPU frequency (MHz) and T the average CPU temperature (°C). A cooler is rated on its measured OP at 30 dB(A) normalized noise output; a cooler that cannot reach 30 dB(A) is rated on its own measured 25 dB(A) point. Air and AIO coolers have separate ladders on each test platform.
