Idle temperatures were measured after sitting at the desktop for 30 minutes. Load measurements were acquired by running Prime 95 and Furmark for 15 minutes and recording the maximum temperature reached. Room temperature was maintained at 14 degrees C for the duration of the tests.
We can see that the system gets quite hot under extended load. We wouldn't expect users will be priming all cores at 100% however these are not great results.
£1500 is very expensive for that really.
Yeah, not a great selection of components. especially the memory. thats not really forgiveable in 2013.
£1,500? I dont think so, I could build a much better system for that price.
Nothing I really like about that build, I normally like the pcspecialist builds you feature on this page, and the mesh one was even nice, but this ? nah. pass.
I am glad that didnt get an award, because its pants. The whole build looks like its sagging inside and the component selection is dire. unnamed memory? entry level PSU and poor cooling, for £1,500? serious? id have gave it 5 out of 10. not 7, but as I said, no award, so im letting you guys off with it.
TBH i would rather have a gaming laptop than a gaming pc these days.oo00 that reminds me i’ve just bought a samsung seris 7 gaming laptop.laptops for the win in my book 🙂
wow, thats a system I wouldnt have myself. a last gen SSD, crap memory and an entry level cooler master PSU? temps are terrible too.
Thats embarassing. thumbs down from me.
