Thermal Performance
This temperature was taken in front of the fan on the Arctic Cooler Freezer Pro 7 fitted to the CPU.
This temperature was taken from approximately 1 inch from the back of the PSU.
This temperature was taken from approximately 1 inch from the back of the rear 120mm exhaust fan.
This temperature was taken through the front panel of the chassis, in between the installed hard drives.
The P150 performed remarkably well in the thermal tests given its smaller dimensions. In some of the tests it even outperformed its bigger brother, the P180. Whilst in comparison it suffers in some tests against the HEXUS old-faithful, the Akasa Eclipse 62.
The test of note here was the one relating to the CPU, with the P150 picking up with a few degrees improvement over the other chassis used in the comparison.
