Asus GTX 660Ti DirectCU II TOP Graphics Card Review
Chris Hadley / 12 years ago
Measuring temperatures is all about being consistent 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.
Taking the acoustic performance into account, the DirectCU II cooler performs very well at idle speeds staying under 30 degrees but at full load the temperature does creep up a little. We feel that a little sacrifice on acoustic performance could be made in favour of a lower load temperature which would have a better result for the system overall.
