Benchmarks: Temperatures and Noise
That's a little bit strange. CPU temperature is well within the limits and it's the actually the GPUs that are running warm under load. Surprising, then, that the CPU is throttling and the GPUs aren't. Aorus seems more concerned with CPU heat as our logs reveal that the speed of the Intel processor is dialled down as soon as it approaches 70ºC.
It's always a shame to see throttling on a performance-orientated machine, but with the X7 Pro it's a double-whammy as noise levels are also a concern. Load up the cores and the fans do get frustratingly loud. This might not be a deal-breaker for gamers who are accustomed to boisterous machines and game with headphones on, but the X7 Pro is a tad too loud for our own personal liking.
