The tests were performed in a controlled environment with the temperature maintained at a constant 19°C. Idle temperatures were measured after sitting at the desktop for 15 minutes. Load measurements were acquired by running FurMark and Prime95's Small FFTs setting together for 15 minutes. As this is a gaming system, we also decided to measure the temperatures while playing Battlefield 3.
We allowed the CPU cooler to operate at its default – PWM – settings.
Lacking any type of intake fan, the Cyberpower Gaming Battalion 502 system's component temperatures are surprisingly low, given the single exhaust fan and graphics card that flushes heat into the chassis.
MSI's effective cooler keeps the graphics core temperature at low levels, even when tasked with a demanding load. The stock AMD CPU cooler offers mediocre, yet perfectly acceptable performance. HDD temperatures are what suffer with the omission of a front intake fan, but a measured maximum of 33°C isn't a cause for concern.
I really dont like AMD systems, their CPUS are always very unpowered even for the price.
its becouse you have too alot money , if you have less you will chose amd and you will be happy , in game fps diference is low. and about multytasking you not using all programs in same time to feel diference.
Honestly, i used Ebuyer, found a rig more or less the same for £250, granted it has a smaller HDD, less RAM and only a built in AMD GPU, for an extra £50-£100 you can sort out the GPU and the RAM, which still leaves it £150 to £200 less than this rig, bargain in my eyes :3
