Installation
Using the included screws, we mounted the fans on to a Thermaltake ToughLiquid Ultra 360 AIO radiator. No issues here.
As you can see below (photo 3), the fans really are 32mm THICC, so make sure you have a case/chassis that will fit them.
We then connected the fans to the motherboard using the included Nexus Link Type-M to Type-C Cable and the Nexus Link Type-C to 4-Pin PWM Cable. I was surprised that this single cable was able to power all the 3 fans.
Test Rig
For our tests, we used our Test Rig which consists of an Asus Strix Z790-E Gaming WiFi motherboard, along with an Intel Core i9-14900K, a GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER graphics card, and 32GB of DDR5-7200 memory kit.

Cooling Performance
Idle
Idle temperatures seem normal with nothing out of the ordinary.
Load
At 100% full load on the CPU, temperatures reached a high of 88 degrees Celsius for the CPU, while the CPU package hit a high of 99-100 degrees Celsius.
P-Cores maxed out at 100 degrees Celsius, while the E-Cores hit a high of 88 to 98 degrees Celsius.
These high temperatures at full load is no surprise as we all know Intel’s 14th and 13th Gen processors generally runs hot.
