750D has a total of three cooling fans – two 140mm as intakes at the front and one 140mm acting as an exhaust at the rear. This push/pull configuration usually yields good results.
To discover the thermal performance of the 750D 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.
NOTE: Ambient temperature is 20C

Noise
The Air Series cooling fans are known for giving good results at a decent noise level. We found the cooling fans unobtrusive when the system was in use.
