Benchmarks: Temperature and Noise

The temperature numbers alone don't tell the full story. Razer's dual-fan cooling system is able to keep both the CPU and GPU from reaching 80ºC under load, yet in doing so fan noise is considerable. The laptop is practically silent when idle, but put it to work and the fans quickly become noticeable. Something as trivial as a Windows update is enough to cause the fans to whir into action, and when gaming the noise levels rise another notch. This, ultimately, is an area in which the Blade can't match the refinement of a non-gaming Ultrabook.
