Testing:

For testing I will be doing what we normally do here and record the temperatures of the CPU while it is running idle and while it is under load, I will do this for both stock clock of 2.4 GHz and overclocked to 3 GHz. To get the CPU temp to rise I will be running the Prime 95 Burn-in test. The temp in the room will remain a constant 23°C (73°F) to ensure a fair test. I will be putting the Nexus LOW-7000 CPU Cooler up against my Noctua NH-C12P and my Evercool Buffalo coolers.

So from these temps we can see that the Nexus LOW-7000 CPU Cooler didn’t quite stack up as well as I was hoping. Honestly when it comes down to it, it did really good. While it might have had the highest temps, and even then it was only a couple of degrees behind, I have to say it did well for its small size. Also you have to keep in mind that these temps are still really low when compared to some other coolers that are available on today’s market.

Now let’s get top my final thoughts:
