The H510 Flow has a new design, and it's not just all for looks! The new front mesh panel has drastically changed the thermal performance of the H510 series, giving customers the performance they need to keep their system cool.
We have done some testing with our H510 Elite versus the H510 Flow in order to give you a good idea of the improvements in thermals this product offers!
NOTE: Different testing conditions and hardware can have an effect on the performance you may encounter with the H510 Flow. In most setups, coming from the H510 Elite to the H510 Flow you will see an improvement in performance. Results may vary.

Thermal Testing Data
The min, max, and average data points are captured using HWInfo of the CPU’s 8 cores while Prime95 is running. Temperatures while idle have been removed. For each model, three trials running approximately 15 minutes are performed and a ten-minute break is given between each trial for liquid temperatures to decrease. The temperatures are presented in delta T above an ambient temperature at 25°C. Fan and Pump settings are set to 100% value (full spin).
Overall, for CPU Core temperatures, we can see a 4.7°C decrease in max temperature and an 8°C decrease in average temperature.
