Noise Level And Heat Measurements
To ensure that our results were comparable to those of our last review we didn't make any changes to the hardware (aside from the upgrade).
Testing Equipment | |
---|---|
CPU | Intel Pentium 4-540J, 3.2 GHz |
Memory | Twinmos 2x 512 MB |
Hard Drive | Hitachi HDS722516VLSA80, 160 GB SATA |
CD/DVD | MSI MS-8448M |

Noise Level | Sound Level Meter PCE 322-A |
Heat | Innovatek Fan-O-Meter |
After installing the Fan-o-Meter's heat sensors we tested the XC Cube under full processor load using the very popular Prime 95 utility, which can create a CPU load of 100%. To ensure that the no CPU throttling (automatic speed reduction) was taking place, we used a utility that monitored the CPUs frequency. Throughout the tests, the CPU ran at the full 3.2 GHz.
The Proof: full CPU load, no throttling.
