“What are the thermals like on this model? The CPU cooler seems similar to the stock intel cooler, and I notice the lack of front ventilation - though there are side intake vents and fans. If anyone has thermal performance numbers please share!”

The cpu cooler is not good enough to cool the i7 properly, but for $30-$100 you can get a good enough cpu cooler which is what I did. The intake fans on the side do the job just fine no issues there. Numbers: While on the stock cooler my CPU was basically overheating and would stay at 80c - 90c under regular loads. Once I installed a Noctua cooler I get temps that max at 60c. Runs great and everything else in the build is great.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.
