The new upgraded test bench
I tried to keep the cables tidier which isn't easy as there's no where to hide them and I can't tie them down.
CPU Cooler Test Bench
This the test bench I use to test the CPU cooler for my YouTube vidoes. Currently it has an EVo Black RGB on it but that changes all the time. I've published 2 videos so far using the test bench:
Changed the test bench again for another cooler test video
Added the Enermax ETS-T40 Fit to the test bench to give it a run out and compare it with the other coolers that I've tested so far. It was a bit of a pain to install so not sure if I'd recommend it. The performance was pretty average as well.
Upgraded the CPU and Motherboard
So guys I chnaged the CPU to a 12900k and the motherboard to a Gigabyte Z690 Aorus Elite AX DDR4. I was starting to see some bunching in the scores when testing coolers. Also I thought it was a good idea to move to later socket. I also moved the cooler league to season 2, added a new cooler and retested for coolers that are socket 1700 compatible.
Test Bench Upgrade
As I've been using my test bench to test CPU coolers I thought it was about time that I had a CPU that would actually tax a decent cooler. So I've upgraded the test bench to a Intel 10700k and an ASUS Prime Z490-A. I also changed the power supply over to a EVGA Supernova 650 G+ to handle the higher power draw. Keeping in mind that at some point I will be looking to test GPUs as well.

Added the MSI Core Frozr S
I added the MSI Core Frozr S to the test bench and to the cooler league. The cooler did pretty well but I'm not convinced by the looks tbh. I get the whole MSI color scheme but it is very limiting.
Added the Vetroo V5 to Test it
Added the Vetroo V5 to the bench and gave it a run out.
