PCSpecialist Tempest Nova Prebuilt Review (13400F/3060 Ti)

Testing and Performance: CPU

Cinebench R23 Multi Core

In Cinebench R23 Multi Core the Core i5-13400F CPU does a reasonable job however it is limited by its quad core configuration.

Power Consumption

On the plus side the CPU settles down after its Boost phase and draws a mere 65W which is lovely and economical.

CPU Temperature

The low power draw of the Core i5-13400F means the CPU is very cool under load despite using an air tower cooler. The other CPUs in this chart are cooled by a 360mm AIO.

Cinebench R23 Single Core

In the Cinebench R23 Single Core test the PCSpecialist system performs reasonably well, indicating the Tempest Nova should be well suited to tasks that are not too demanding.

Blender 3 Classroom

Blender is a test of raw CPU grunt and the Tempest Nova performs exactly as we would expect, performing in line with a previous generation AMD Ryzen 7.
