Temperature and Power Consumption

Temperature and consumption

The temperatures measured during the tests were very high. On benchmarks like Cinebench R20 and R23 we reach 93 °C to 97 °C. However, the PC remains quite cool in the chassis. Both in idle and under load.

To cool the configuration, we have two fans on the back that suck in cool air and expel it in front of the screen.

Surface temperature in idle

The surface of the keyboard and trackpad stays below 30°C in idle, which is a good temperature.

Surface temperature under load

Under load this time, the keyboard and trackpad surface rises to almost 45°C in front of the screen and at the top right of the keyboard. These are quite high temperatures, but the areas most in contact with the user remain around 30°C. To limit the heat, the Summit E14 has a swivel screen to raise the device. There are skids to keep it stable and not to scratch it. MSI Summit E14 Evo A12M rehausse
