The GPU’s temperature is still the highest.

CPU & GPU Average Clock Frequencies

We have to look at the average CPU and GPU clocks to get a complete picture since higher clocks mean more thermal load, which pushes the cooling system more. If we have two cooling systems with only a 1-2 degrees Celsius difference and a 100-200 MHz difference in the clock speeds of the CPU or the GPU, it is easy to find the best performer.

In gaming, CPU and GPU clocks are lower than the competition, although the M705’s fan spins at high speeds and produces the highest noise.
