AMD R9 Nano 4GB (HBMv1) CrossFire Review

Noise, Power Consumption and Temperatures


Noise

We already saw that the single R9 Nano had a reasonably quiet cooling solution considering it had one fan and a small heatsink. With two in the mix, things get slightly louder, but nothing a closed case wouldn’t solve.

Power Consumption

With an ultra low 175W TDP, these cards should draw less than 300W (excluding additional hardware). In Heaven Benchmark, the combo drew just 286W. In my experience, Heaven provided a good real world scenario of power draw, but total system draw could only be examined when using Furmark. Even with Furmark, the load only increased to 291W.

Temperatures

Considering the two cards were in close proximity and it was relatively warm in the testing room, the overall temperatures were very impressive. However, these scores were taken as an average between the two and the first card was actually 76°c.
