Temperatures will be measured with a temperature probe with the CPU at idle and load, as well as stock and overclocked. The temperature readings will be recorded in Celsius, with a room temperature of 78 degrees Fahrenheit, or 25.5 Celsius (Hey, I live in Florida, you have to conserve electricity somehow).
