For performance testing we will first test idle temperatures. These are taken on the Windows 10 desktop an hour after the system has been turned on.
For load testing we will be running the AIDA64 system stability test with the CPU only checked. This puts a full load on our CPU. We run this test for 1 hour and record the highest temperature throughout the test.
Software
DeepCool offers software integration and control with their Mystique 360, and we wanted to provide a quick rundown of the application and its uses. There are a few menu options available in the DeepCool software, the first two being your standard DeepCool Hub and Computer Spec menu. The DeepCool Hub screen simply shows the current status of your system, including CPU and GPU loads and speeds, as well as RAM, storage, and network statistics. The Computer Spec screen offers a quick list of the components that are installed in your system, including things like the CPU, GPU, Motherboard, and more.
The Devices menu is where we find the DeepCool hardware devices currently in use in your system, and this is also where you can make configuration changes to these devices, in our case the Mystique 360. I would have liked to see more built-in themes and designs from DeepCool, as all of the included options are quite similar in design, especially compared to the default offerings from the likes of ASUS or HYTE. For a more comprehensive overview of the DeepCool software, check out the video below, as it covers the Devices menu and all of the available settings for the Mystique 360.
