In normal desktop operation at 84 watts i5 Haswell CPU reached the temperature when fans but although off without current, a maximum of 35 ° C (was at the peaks in the graph is a benchmark similar abnormally high CPU utilization of the case, and I did not make long-term did right benchmark). The average temperature during normal operation is 5-10 ° C lower than with the Intel boxed cooler with because the fan was even connected and was annoying to hear at the open side of the case. As I have another thermal compound used so far could the results of the supplied thermal paste differ. The side of the case where the radiator was, and is on. This good cooling performance, the housing could also be, but with a permanent 100% would CPU utilization or should probably be connected to the fan, whether then 300UPM rich I do not know, but since the case to then, one could increase the UPM because so quiet. The supplied screwdriver with magnetized tip was very convenient.
