AMD FX 8150 AM3+ Bulldozer Processor Review
Andy Ruffell / 13 years ago
Measuring temperatures is all about being consitent, therefore we keep a steady eye on monitoring the ambient room temperature to make sure that it stays the same. While this is constantly being monitored, we measure the idle temperature of the card using HWMonitor over a 15 minute period. Once this has been recorded, we set FurMark into motion for 15 minutes and record the results again.
Even under a Corsair H80, the temperatures were a little higher than we expected and due to only a brief initial play with the voltage, we obtained fairly high results when overclocked, but we believe we may be able to drop this down slightly but not by huge amounts.
