The CPU Package quickly reaches high temperatures of 95 degrees Celsius, and after a short while the CPU drops to around 3400-3600 MHz in order to prevent thermal issues, which results in scores of around 1050-1080 points in multiple concurrent Cinebench runs. Our reference test-game is Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor, and here’s what we observed (also check out the pictures for detailed logs): We can draw the following conclusions based on these tests: All in all, the TUF FX505GE handles gaming well, but the inner components get hot and the fans get noisy, which is pretty much what you should expect in its segment.
