The Biostar Racing X470GTN did well with managing temperatures. As with most modern boards, the Biostar Racing X470GTN should perform well in any climate. A special note on temperature data: I generally use the default fan profiles for this test. In the case of the Biostar Racing X470GTN, the stock setting is pretty loud and aggressive, so I used more realistic, toned down fan curves instead. Running Biostar's original profiles yields a good 10 degree drop in temperatures, even more for the VRM. However, even running the much less aggressive, quieter fan curve had the Biostar Racing X470GTN stay well within specifications.
