The Test:
1. Boot-up.
2. Run sisoft sandra burn-in wizard, both cpu tests on stress
for 50 loops.
3. Check MBM5 for high temp.
4. Play ps2 for about an hour, check idle temps.
Room temp: 70F (21C)
Our case was a mid size, using
only one fan to push air out in the back, so add in intake and
these temps could be much lower.
