now like I said before there's no way I would have thrown an overclocked quad-core on the the poor and gah 55 n usb3 from gigabyte that's that ITX board that I was overclocking on a dual-core but what I did decide to do is throw a quad core on it and then just run prime over a course of a couple of days and see how it fares so you can see the temperatures are unreasonably high up to 98 degrees on some of the course and that really comes down to the the core i5 CPU cooler not being adequate really and my room being quite warm after sitting in this tiny enclosed space so by the time the room really heated up well you see then it gets pretty hot so I mean really if you're running this in a little tiny ITX case like say for example this one then you're gonna want to make sure that you're you're using some kind of decent cooler it might just be that I have bad contact with my thermal compound but actually you know what that's not maybe it either way okay so I'm running eight threads of prime95 what CPU is this hold on it oh okay well this is a quad-core but I don't think I'm allowed to talk about this one yeah I'm not okay okay so I won't talk about it anyway eight threads quad-core it's been running prime for a grand total of let me see how long it ran for for 56 hours 49 minutes the board didn't blow up so that really completes my experimenting with the age 55 in USB 3 it held up admirably in a room that must have been well over 30 degrees at its worst with just a stock cooler with poorly applied thermal compound and the MOSFETs and the board itself did not explode so very nice
