For good warming up of the CPU we are using burnp6 from the CPUBurn. And for temp control we have taken the Motherboard Monitor utility. We used the MicroSi MPU 3.7 thermal grease. Before applying the grease we carefully cleaned the die surface and the heatsink base. The diagram shows max temp values in a stabilized mode.
Noise level is too high.
And you can hear high-pitched noise from the fan engine on the background of rather quiet aerodynamic noise. The noise level can be reduced a bit if you would take off a fan guard and a proprietary sticker on the impeller.
