Dell XPS 8300 Review (Core i5/Nvidia)

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. Room ambient temperatures were 23c.

We measured results with CPUID Hardware Monitor software. The CPU was loaded with Cinebench in a loop and Furmark stress test.

System temperatures are quite comfortable, and while the nVidia GTX560 ti temperatures seem high under load, this was achieved when running the synthetic Furmark stress test. When gaming, the GPU temperatures were around 8c less (77c).
