The testing method was similar to the last review. Once the system is booted
up, an Idle temperature was recorded. Then, 2 instance of Prime95 was launched,
1 with Large FFT torture test, and another with Small FFT torture test. Both
tests were allowed to run for 20mins, and the Max temperatures were recorded.
Like the 80mm version, Coolermaster again kept their promise of a really
quiet fan. At 21.3dbA for the lowest fan setting, I could barely hear anything.
The Max fan speed was specified at 35.7dbA, which is slightly audible.
Temperatures were pretty similar to the R80 brother. But nevertheless, the
temperatures were still impressive for such a product.

Mini R120 shines when there’s a higher heatload, mainly due to the much larger
