Test system
This test is the first time I use my new “test system” for case reviews. Sooner or later, I will definitely replace the lame APU, but otherwise, the system should stay in use for a while. During the measurements, the room temperature was around 22.5°C, all fans (case and radiator) were fixed at 700rpm.
Temperatures
For the measurements, I stuck with my usual applications. A Cinebench R23 loop was used for the “Torture” measurement (CPU temperature) and the tried and tested test run in Red Dead Redemption 2 for the “Gaming” measurement.
CPU Torture
In Cinebench, the overclocked CPU settled at around 65°C after a few minutes. In the diagram you can see the rise in temperature until the coolant has not warmed up any further.
Gaming
Also at the Saint Denis run, the temperatures settled down after a few minutes. The graphics card heats up to the set temperature limit of about 70°C and remains almost inaudibly quiet – no wonder with just 100W GPU power.
For the CPU, the Saint Denis run is already a worst-case scenario, which is why the temperature climbs into the low 50s despite good cooling temperatures. However, when mounting the AIO on the left side and with the fans aligned as exhaust, the waste heat from the graphics card will certainly also contribute a part.
Interim summary
All in all, there are so many possible arrangements available in the Tower 500 that airflow tinkerers should have their true joy when trying around. Unfortunately, I did not have time to quickly mount the AIO on the other side during the test. However, I am sure that this would still save a few degrees of CPU temperature. However, the airflow basically works very well and there is neither heat accumulation nor excessively high temperatures.
