To test the thermal performance of the Corsiar Obsidian 250D we loaded our test system for 15 minutes using Prime95 and Furmark and recorded the maximum temperatures reached using CPUID Hardware Monitor. We then restarted the system and left it for 15 minutes before recording idle temperatures.
Room temperature was maintained at 20 degrees C for the duration of our tests.
Overall we are very impressed with these temperatures, as they show that you can achieve a significant overclock in this case.
