CPU temps seem slightly high on idle. Not sure if that's to be expected with overclocking. Didn't mess with it, just let the Gaming MOBO do its thing and it's clocked to 4.8GHz.

Idling in the mid 30s mostly.

However it seems to stay pretty cool when gaming.

Upped the settings on Red Dead 2 even though GPU is the same. Mostly high and ultra with a couple of med/low settings. Ran the benchmark and averaged 45 fps, when actually just playing the game seems to average 50fps on these setting. CPU temp hovers between 40-50 degrees celsius.

The conservative overclock the MOBO did is definitely more than enough for emulation. I can now perfectly emulate NCAA Football 14 for PS3!!! The old PS3 is retiring to the attic and freeing up a space in my TV stand.

The Noctua fans are so quiet that I set a pretty aggressive fan curve for the 2 push/pull fans on the CPU cooler. Minimum of 50% fan speed, ramps up to 60% at 30 degrees celsius, 70% at 50 degrees.
