PC Specialist Vanquish 670XM Gaming System Review

Our room environment is held at 23c, which is a comfortable temperature for most people. We measure temperatures of the processor, memory, motherboard and graphics card when idle, and under load.

Idle results are measured when the system is resting at the desktop. After 20 minutes the results are recorded. CPU load results are measured when tasked with Cinema4D. Gaming results are measured when loaded with Crysis.

The system maintains good thermal response throughout our stress testing. The Core i5 3570K @ 4.6ghz peaks around the 74c mark under load which is safe long term. The Cooler Master HAF XM case produces a high level of airflow which helps.

The Nvidia GTX670 peaks at 72c when gaming – this rises to 80c when loaded with the synthetic Furmark stress test. The fan runs at around 45% when gaming and 56% when primed with Furmark.
