Load Temps
Using the the Cooler Master MasterLiquid Flux PL 240 (fitted with the LGA1700 brackets), the processor produced a full load temperature of 87 degrees Celsius, which is surprisingly low! We all know Intel processors can run HOT, but I wasn’t expecting this. Not sure why it produce such a low reading … maybe our cooling fans were running at full rpm.
In any case and just to be on the safe side … If you do plan to upgrade to an Intel 13th Gen processor, I highly recommend you get a decent 360 AIO Liquid cooler.
