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 running Furmark and Cinebench together. We included results from a diode which we placed beside the motherboard and the exhaust fan.
One thing we like about the Fusion products we have tested is that even without chassis fans, the components are cool running. The processor peaks at 61c when fully loaded for instance, well within parameters.
