760T has three pre-installed cooling fans which are all 140mm in specifications – AF140L. There are two front intakes and one rear exhaust. This configuration is proven to yield great results so we expect good results for the cooling performance.
To discover the thermal performance of the 760T we will record idle temperatures after 20 minutes from a cold boot. We will then stress the system and temperatures will again be monitored after 30 minutes have elapsed.
For the purpose of accurate analysis the idle and load temperatures for CPU and GPU will be recorded and the range between idle and load will be calculated to determine how efficient cooling is.
Fan controller will be set to “high” setting.
NOTE: Ambient temperature is 20C
