Noise Level

The AK Rig Super9 has multiple noise sources, which include the fan on the CPU heatsink and the graphics card. Despite the large amount of fans installed, the system was always pretty quiet, since AK Informatica chose the fans wisely. Looking inside bit deeper, we realized that almost all the feature low rotation speeds and they're controlled by the fan controller that's been integrated into the CM Storm Trooper case. Even with the GTX 980 Gaming 4G at full load, the system was quiet. We only detected a continuous and audible noise from the pump of the Cooler Master Nepton 280L. It's a pity that this pump has to run a 6'600 to 6'800 rpm and that it has to be noisier than the fans installed by AK Informatica. We would really love to see this point improved.

Temperatures

Temperature	Idle	Full
Intel Core i7-4790K	33 / 36 / 34 / 34	66 / 67 / 68 / 66
MSI GTX 980 Gaming 4G	30	65
	Less is better

We're measuring the temperatures above at an ambient temperature of 22 degrees. In order to generate a lot of heat we're using Prime95 for the CPU and FurMark in the case of the graphics card. In both scenarios we haven't manually set the rotation speed of the fans. The temperatures measured are prefectly in line with what this system should be offering. When overclocking the CPU and running Intel XTU benchmark we find see the chip running at 70°C.
