Benchmarks: Temperature and Noise
There are no major concerns in the temperature stakes. The Intel chip did exceed 90ºC shortly into our stress test, yet temperature settles as frequency is dialled down, resulting in manageable heat output. The area above the keyboard tray reaches 49ºC when gaming - that's warm but not too hot to handle - however fan noise is noticeable. G5 15's cooling system is quiet when idle, but the fans never switch off and do become distracting when the processors are hard at work.
