Thermal dynamics
To measure idle temperatures, a reading was taken after having Windows open on the desktop for 30 minutes. A reading under load was taken with AIDA64’s stress test running.
Perfectly acceptable thermals on display here. A peak of 64 degrees for the overclocked i7-6700K is particularly impressive.
Acoustics performance
Initially, I was worried by the noise levels coming from the Aura. The fans would spin up significantly almost at random, even when the system was under very low load – it was annoying and intrusive to say the least.
I dived into the UEFI to take a look at the fan control settings – lo and behold I found the reason for this annoyance. The fan control settings had not been configured properly, as all the fans were being controlled in DC mode, even though the two radiator fans are PWM 4-pin models. Changing the setting to PWM mode improved matters a great deal – the fans still ramped up under load, but at idle there was no more strange bursts of speed from the fans.
