Test - Jet 7 vs Aero 7:



First, we're going to compare the Jet 7 to his predecessor: the Aero 7. Can it beat his older brother with his more powerfull fan but a smaller heatsink?

We'll let the figures speak for itself:



When both heatsinks are running at full speed, the Aero 7 clearly manages to beat the newer Jet 7, although it makes less noise. The full copper heatsink clearly shows it's benefits.

At minimum speed however, the Jet 7 cools a whole lot better. Don't conclude the Jet 7 is a better heatsink for low rpm fans: it's minimal speed is higher than the Aero 7. While the Aero 7 is almost completely noiseless, the Jet 7 is still well audible. It's probably even too noisy for people who prefer silence above speed.

Verdict: Performs worse and makes more noise than the Aero 7.
