PCSpecialist Vortex IV 770XS Review

The tests were performed in a controlled air conditioned room with temperatures maintained at a constant 24c – a comfortable environment for the majority of people reading this.Idle temperatures were measured after sitting at the desktop for 30 minutes.Load measurements were acquired by playing Crysis Warhead for 30 minutes and measuring the peak temperature.

We also have included Furmark results, recording maximum temperatures throughout a 30 minute stress test. All fan settings were left on automatic.

The cooling system works hard when loaded, with both fans spinning high when the temperatures increase.

We attached five diodes to the back of the chassis and measured the temperature (Celcius) after one hour of intensive work and gaming.

The underside of the machine gets very warm to the touch, especially at the rear of the chassis. There are big exhaust vents at the rear of the machine to expel the hot air from both GPU and CPU, but the smaller vents on the underside do radiate quite a lot of heat under load too.

Not an ideal system to be using long term on your lap during those intensive gaming sessions.
