Benchmarks: Vitals
This is a page that really matters. Keeping temps under control plays a vital part in consistent results, and a smooth, low noise profile helps identify quiet-running hardware.
We're pleasantly surprised by the noise profile - the Corsair cooler is set to a quiet profile by default and the chassis fans are set to 'silent' in BIOS - however both idle and gaming power consumption are a tad higher than we'd like. There's room for optimisation on that front, but give us time, Ripley's only been up and running the best part of two days.
