Xclio Touch 767 Review

Thermal Performance Testing

Our thermal performance testing has recently been revised and therefore the list of comparable results is for the moment limited. But as we progress through cases the results list will expand.

Inside Touch 767 are just two 120mm cooling fans positioned at the top and rear of the chassis, configured as exhausts. As a result there is no positive air pressure/flow within Touch 767 and this is a step away from traditional airflow methodologies of having an intake at the front and exhaust at the rear.

To discover the thermal performance of the Touch 767 I will record idle temperatures after 20 minutes from a cold boot. I will then stress the system and temperatures will again be monitored after 30 minutes have elapsed. Cooling fans will be set to ‘Mid Speed’ on the Touch Panel.

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

System Components

CPU AMD Phenom II X6 1055T 2.8GHz
Motherboard ASUS M4A89TD PRO
Graphics ZOTAC NVIDIA GTX 480 AMP (Different from card pictured)
Memory 4GB Mushkin EM3-10666 DDR3
HDD Samsung Spinpoint 500GB SATA-II
PSU FSP AURUM GOLD 650M





Noise

With the fans set to ‘Low Speed’ on the Touch panel they are noticeable but not necessarily disturbing, increasing to ‘Mid Speed’ the fans are disturbing and noisy and ‘High Speed’ is far beyond tolerable.
