"TDP" is sort of a difficult metric to work with. Intel, AMD, and NVIDIA all calculate TDP differently, and cooler manufacturers calculate their own TDPs still differently from these companies. In this video, we show one of the tools that Cooler Master could use to calculate "TDP" of a cooler, although the company more commonly leaves the number off of boxes to reduce confusion. The same testing lab is used for case fan benchmarks, CPU cooler and heatsink benchmarks, and product development of coolers.
