To observe the thermal performance of the system we used CPUID Hardware Monitor alongside Prime95 and Furmark to load the system. Idle temperatures were measured after 15 minutes of ‘resting’ at the Windows 7 Desktop and load temperatures were measured by running Prime95 and Furmark V1.10 for 15 minutes then recording the maximum temperatures during this time period.
The temperatures aren't too bad considering the relatively weak airflow through the chassis.
