Benchmarks: Temperature
Modern-day CPUs have the ability to put their feet up when idle, so a reading of 31ºC shows us that Chillblast's overclocked chip is working correctly.
But again, we know that Ivy Bridge processors can run hot, and Chillblast's 47x multiplier lifts under-load temperature close to 80ºC. That's within comfortable limits, and some may appreciate the top-line speed, but we'd happily sacrifice a little overclock in favour of lower operating temperature.
No surprise here, two GeForce GTX 660 Tis in close proximity can get quite warm during gaming sessions.
