It’s hot outside ! A quote that everyone has heard often in the last days. But since these are not fair start conditions for our cooler, we retreated into the quiet air-conditioned room, and tested our system at 20 °C room temperature. Starting in Silent mode, we came to the turbo mode and heated the CPU with Prime95.
