Why did you make me turn my computer monitor sideways? Oh dear God!

In all seriousness, I've been thinking about getting one of these, but I'm curious about how quickly it steps down due to thermal regulation. Most of the reviews I have seen show it dropping like a rock from outer space within about two or three minutes.

I set the thermal limit to 60C. I don't usually turbo it for more than a minute though. Top of ramp is still a great amount of throw.

60C = 140F...pretty toasty!

How hot does it get on top of ramp?

Not too hot that I couldn't walk around the block holding it. I can get some measurements tonight.
