NZXT N5 Z690 Motherboard Review

VRM Temperatures

At idle, the VRMs averaged out at 28.7 degrees. This is perfectly acceptable temperatures for the VRMs and shows how NZXT does passive cooling well.

When we ran Prime95 to stress the VRMs and get load temperatures for them, we saw a good result, averaging out at 55.1 degrees. This is a little warm but the cooler is entirely passive and we tested on an open-air test bench. In a PC case you could expect to see an improvement as you will be getting some airflow over the components, but even with these results being a little warm, they are still well within what we consider to be good temperatures.
