Temperatures and Acoustics
Temperatures
As this is a full sized system, temperatures shouldn’t be too much of a problem. That being said though, both the CPU cooler and GPU location clearly gives this system an edge in terms of the results seen. While it perhaps a little unfair to compare a full system to laptops. The temperatures given under heavy load testing were still very impressive.
A 27C idle temperature for a GPU is remarkably good.
In addition to this, the noise levels are exceptionally low. These may increase slightly if you opt for the glass side panel, but even then, I wouldn’t anticipate it to be by much.

Acoustics
Ok, so it runs well and temperatures are very respectable, but what about noise levels? Well, if you are looking for the Achilles heel in this system, noise isn’t it either. While it was a little louder than some of the systems we have reviewed, it does find itself in a perfectly reasonable mid-table. When you consider just how powerful and compact this system is, the noise levels are again another major feather in this systems cap.
