Asus GTX 670 DirectCU Mini 2GB Graphics Card Review

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.
One of my fears when I first saw this card was that it was going to run very hot, and whilst it does indeed quite warm, 75c under load to be exact, it is still well within the safe operating range that NVIDIA specify for the GK core. At idle the vapour chamber design does very well to keep the card just under 30c.
