Inside EVOLV ITX we have just a single 200mm cooling fan which is configured to be a front intake fan. With a lack of push/pull the performance could be affected – nevertheless, having a push rather than pull should be more beneficial.

To discover the thermal performance of EVOLV ITX 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 motherboard sensors 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

Having just a single 200mm cooling fan means that noise levels are quite low and certainly nothing to be concerned about.

(Since we're using our new Mini-ITX test configuration we've restarted benchmarking again - therefore there is only a few comparable results)
