Benchmarks: Temperature
Cooling is a big question-mark for small-form-factor PCs, yet the Trident 3 Arctic is faring surprisingly well. Sure, the Intel Core i7 processors gets warm when all cores are working flat-out, yet for a compact machine relying solely on air cooling, both the CPU and GPU are kept in check. It's worth noting that our review sample was tested in a vertical orientation, and we suspect heat levels would rise if the system were to be crammed horizontally into an airflow-stifling TV unit.
