Cooling

I also ran some extra tests when looking at the system's cooling capabilities. That's because, as we mentioned on the first page, the front panel of the case does not provide very much air for the chassis to breathe, so I was curious how temperatures would change with the front panel on, and then with it removed.

Now, in fairness, I'm not going to criticise the case for its airflow too harshly, as temperatures didn't change that much. There is a clear improvement with the panel removed, with temperatures dropping between 3-5C , which is good – but not a big enough gap to suggest the components are really choked.

It's not like the figures are terrible with the front panel on anyway – our CPU hit 56C when gaming, with the GPU running no hotter than 69C. I am sure a full mesh front panel would help, but based on our testing the component temperatures aren't terrible as is.

Noise

Noise levels are very impressive, too. When idling, the system produces a gentle hum which is about audible, but only just. When under load, though, it hardly gets any louder to the point where this is probably one of the quietest PCs I have tested over the last couple of years. It is very impressive stuff.

Power

Lastly we come to power consumption, and under load the whole system pulls about 300W, putting the PSU at just over 50% load. That means this particular unit will be operating at pretty much maximum efficiency – though bear it mind it is only an 80+ White unit, so that isn't as high as I'd like in the first place.
