Legit Reviews Test System

Before taking a look at the installation and temperatures, lets take a quick look at the test system used for this test. The test system is running an Intel i5-4690K processor on a Gigabyte Z97M Gaming-5 motherboard, pushing the processor to 4.4GHz. All testing was done using a fresh install of Windows 8.1 64-bit on a Samsung EVO 750GB SSD. Rather than being tested in an open air system, the test system is installed in a NZXT H440 Razer edition case using the stock fans.
