Inside CK500 WH there are two 140mm cooling fans – configured as push/pull at the front and rear of the chassis. This arrangement usually yields great results.
To discover the thermal performance of CK500 WH 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 will be recorded and the range between idle and load will be calculated to determine how efficient cooling is.
NOTE: Ambient temperature is 20C
