A:AnswerI'm playing a lot of SQUAD which is in ALPHA, Early Access and not optimized so very demanding. I run MSI Afterburner software and have my CPU and GPU temps in the system tray and I have yet to see anything above high 50's-C for the processor and Low 50's for the GPU. Fans are relatively quiet and certainly keep everything in a safe temp range. ABout the only time I hear the fans fully ramp up is when a map is loading and it is under maximum strain. Then they drop RPM's after that initial load and run quiet even through some mean firefights.
A:AnswerI haven't personally installed and played Rust on mine yet but I have no issues running Ark Survival evolved at high/epic settings and getting between 40-60 fps. Over 100 fps if I turn things down lower, so I'd imagine it would run Rust pretty smooth on higher settings.
A:AnswerI don't have 5.1 hooked up but it appears to have that capability through the DTS Studio. I'm using a soundbar or JBL Bluetooth headsets and the sound quality it great. I do production work on this system, best purchase of made in years.
