Installation & Testing
**click to enlarge**
The
Noisetaker AX 2.0 was installed on my main system, as outlined in the table
below. The chassis, the NZXT Nemesis Elite, made the replacement of the power
supply a royal pain for the very reasons I mentioned in my review earlier this
month.

Testing consisted of loading the system with Prime95, Folding@home, and the
SiSoft SANDRA burn in wizard. This was done for several hours, and the
individual rails were checked with Motherboard Monitor 5 to ensure the proper
tolerances. So, with no further ado, let’s check out the numbers!

**Load**
The
only movement was on Core 0 and on the heavily used +12V rail. Considering the
load, this is hardly a twitch.
