Length of video: 3 minutes.The result is the amount of time required to finish the job. CPU temperature was also recorded. Evidence
of the power of Intel® Quick Sync Video Technology is also shown below. Two
different hard wares were being tested. Result:
However, when CPU is in full load, temperature of the computer will be high, with or without overclocking. In 1a test, with or without overclocking, flashes even appeared on the video, affecting work quality. The problem could be easily solved with proper cooling accessories and good ventilation.
