How We Test
Each cooling configuration is tested using a standardised methodology: 60 seconds of baseline idle temperature, 60 minutes of stress-ng CPU stress, and 60 seconds of cooldown. Temperature improvement is calculated by comparing peak load temperature against the same SBC with stock/bare board cooling.
