Benchmark: CPU temperature

Keeping a Core i7-980X Extreme Edition processor cool isn't easy, but temperatures are kept well within the limits in Antec's P280 chassis.

The idle temperature reflects the cold December weather, but while the chassis delivers good results under load, it isn't quite as impressive as some immediate rivals. NZXT's Phantom 410, SilverStone's Raven RV03 and Corsair's Carbide 500R are all cheaper, and they all delivered slightly better CPU cooling performance under load.
