The Iceberg Thermal IceFLOE Oasis 360mm AIO Cooler Review: Affordable & Effective Cooling

Testing Results, Maximum Fan Speed

Our maximum speed testing is performed with both the fans and the pump of the kit powered via a 12V DC source. This input voltage should have the pump and fans matching the speed ratings of the manufacturer. According to the company’s specifications, the fans included with the IceFLOE Oasis should have a rotational speed of 2200 RPM. Our tachometer indicated that the fans were rotating at an average speed of 2220 RPM, very close to the rated specifications and consistent to each other.

The Iceberg Thermal IceFLOE Oasis 360mm cooler demonstrates exceptional performance under various load conditions, with an average thermal resistance of 0.0665 °C/W when the fans are operating at their maximum speed of 2220 RPM. The thermal efficiency of this cooler remains stable across different levels of demand. This level of performance is noteworthy but one should take into account that the maximum fan speed is fairly high in comparison to similar products in the market.

The Iceberg Thermal IceFLOE Oasis 360mm cooler, generating 43.1 dB(A) of noise at full fan speed, is quite audible, but it is within the expected limits considering it is equipped with three powerful 120mm fans. Although high, the noise figure is comparative to that of other coolers sharing the same design, indicating that Iceberg Thermal is using fans of at least equivalent quality and there are no major design flaws that could be causing the noise to be higher than expected. We should also note that the pump of the unit is powerful and audible if the fans are not powered

Testing Results, Low Fan Speed

Using a PWM voltage regulator, we reduced the speed of the fans manually down to half their rated speed. At this setting, the 120 mm fans of the IceFLOE Oasis rotate at 1100 RPM.

The Iceberg Thermal IceFLOE Oasis 360mm cooler achieves remarkable cooling efficiency, showing an average thermal resistance of 0.0768 °C/W with its fans operating at 1100 RPM. This performance places it among the leading options in our charts so far, achieving levels of raw thermal performance that rival those of significantly pricier and more intricate custom loop cooling solutions.

The acoustic performance of the Iceberg Thermal IceFLOE Oasis 360mm cooler is moderate when its fans are set to half speed. At this lower speed of 1100 RPM, the cooler produces a noise level of 35.1 dB(A), marking it as a middle-range option in terms of noise, even among cooling solutions equipped with three fans.

Thermal Resistance VS Sound Pressure Level

During our thermal resistance vs. sound pressure level test, we maintain a steady 100W thermal load and assess the overall performance of the coolers by taking multiple temperature and sound pressure level readings within the operating range of the stock cooling fans. The result is a graph that depicts the absolute thermal resistance of the cooler in comparison to the noise generated. For both the sound pressure level and absolute thermal resistance readings, lower figures are better.

This chart offers enlightening details on the performance of the Iceberg Thermal IceFLOE Oasis 360mm AIO Cooler. It reveals that the IceFLOE Oasis delivers thermal efficiency on par with one of its direct competitors in terms of size, the Corsair iCUE LINK H150i, and surpasses the Geometric Future Eskimo 36, highlighting its superior design. Although it slightly trails behind the Enermax LiqMaxFlo, this is largely due to the Enermax model's utilization of a thicker radiator. The IceFLOE Oasis achieves its commendable thermal performance through its very powerful 120 mm fans that do produce significant noise at their maximum speed but, from what can see from the chart, the noise-to-performance ratio of the cooler is very good.
