- i7-10700 CPU clocked with power limits removed reaches 72C @ 75F ambient during R20 with score of 4826
- Clocking the CPU to 102.9Mhz yields slightly higher speed for CPU and ram (around 3300Mhz) and appears to also run stable
- RX590 works without any special setup and runs relatively cool at around 50-60C at idle
- CPU at idle runs around 30-40C @ 70-80F ambient
