Biostar Z270GT8 Review
Audio Quality »Power Consumption and Temperatures
| 4.7-5.0 GHz CPU, 3600 MHz Memory | |
|---|---|
| CPU Voltage: | 1.350 V |
| DRAM Voltage: | 1.35 V |

| VRM Temperature: | 45.3°C |
| Chipset Temperature: | 37.1°C |
The Biostar Z270GT8 has quite large coolers on two sides of the CPU socket, and an overly large PCH cooler to help keep that cool. The power consumption under an overclock was decent enough, but the CPU VRM ran quite warm. The PCH, on the other hand, was nice and cool, and not surprisingly so since I've seen custom boards that have no cooler at all.
