| General Benchmarks | ||
| Power Consumption | To emulate real-world usage scenarios, we record system-wide mains power draw both when idle and while playing Gears of War 4 | |
| Temperature | To emulate real-world usage scenarios, we record GPU core temperature both when idle and while playing Gears of War 4 | |
| Noise | A PCE-318 meter is used to record noise levels when idle and while playing Gears of War 4 | |
| Overclocking | Maintaining out-the-box voltage, we use the Precision X1 Scanner Tool to determine an optimal frequency curve while applying a manual memory overclock | |
Notes
We have tested with the standard BIOS position one, as shipped. We can confirm that flicking it over to the second, identified as 90.06.18.00.C1, does indeed turn the fans off at low loads.
