Temperatures seen in this case were all over the place. It wasn't a sure winner, nor a real loser in the all-around category. In terms of CPU temperatures, it was a bit high at idle but seemed to be one of the lower ones under load. The video card seemed to stay nice and cool under load and at idle. I'm not sure if it's the top fan helping out, but it does well and that is what counts. The chipset on the other hand is what turns the smile upside-down. Both idle and load are top of the charts; not impressive at all. Overall it rounds out, but I'm thinking if you add in an extra fan or two you might be able to bring down the chipset closer to ambient temperature.
