NZXT N7 and N5 Z690 Review
CPU and VRM Temperatures
There is no question that the latest Intel processors run hot. The 11th generation did and the 12th gen are no different. Sturdy cooling solutions, especially on the Core i9-12900K we’re using here, are a must. We wondered when we saw the beefy nature of the Z690 VRM heatsinks and the huge Ampage if the temperatures would skyrocket, but thankfully they are under control regardless of your motherboard choice.
