To get load temperatures I started the PC up and fired up OCCT for 2 hours to get the load temperatures. After the first hour the temperatures had stabilized. The temperatures were recorded from CPUID Hardware Monitor. Ambient temperature was held at 21C throughout my testing.

The PC-K57 is in the middle of the pack but all of the temperatures are fairly close together. One of the big pluses with the PC-K57 over the rest is how quiet it is. This is in many ways directly related to the finer details of the case. Lancool could have skipped out on the grommets or skipped out on the foam padding for the PSU but they didn’t and the consequence is that we get a better case.
