GAMING BENCHMARKS
3DMark is one of the most recognized benchmark software tools for PC Hardware. 3DMark Time Spy is a DirectX 12 test that is commonly used to benchmark Gaming PCs.
Two systems using the same PC hardware were built and tested with the aforementioned benchmark and the following hardware specifications:
HARDWARE SPECIFICATIONS (SHARED)
COMMERCIAL COOLING SYSTEM
- CPU: Intel Core i9-9900K
- GPU: nVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080Ti
- HyperX Predator 32 GB DDR4 RAM at 4000 MHz
- ASUS Z390-E ROG Motherboard
- 1 TB SAMSUNG 970 Pro NVMe m.2
- EVGA Supernova Platinum 1000 W Power Supply
- CPU: Best-in-class AIO 360 mm liquid cooler
- GPU: Vapor chamber cooling solution
EMCOOL COOLING SYSTEM
- CPU & GPU in a single microfluidic cooling loop with a 360 mm radiator and single d5 pump (layout as shown in the Mark I EMDESK build).
Note: Please select 4K resolution in the video player menu. If not playing on a high-resolution, high refresh rate monitor, differences will not be noticeable. Please refer to the top left corner that reads the actual frames per second at which the benchmark was recorded.
EMCOOL SYSTEM BENCHMARK
COMMERCIAL SYSTEM BENCHMARK
RESULTS
The EMCOOL system resulted in significantly lower temperatures than the commercial system, while also handling higher system frequencies and therefore higher power dissipation. The EMCOOL system allowed a sustained and reliable overclocking with the demanding benchmark, and the most relevant results are summarized below:

These results indicate that, even in a single loop in which the CPU and GPU share the same radiator and pump, the temperatures are significantly lower than those displayed by the commercial system. It is also important to note how the power figures are higher for the overclocked EMCOOL system and still result in lower silicon temperatures. The EMCOOL-powered system resulted in a benchmark score of 15,579 (higher is better), which is nearly 30% higher than that of the commercial system using the same PC hardware but subjected to thermal limitations. A higher FPS count means that the system is capable to render a higher number frames per second and therefore offer a significant computational advantage for which many applications can benefit, in this case the rendering of demanding videogames.
