HIS Radeon HD 6970 MIX 2GB Graphics Card Review

TemperaturesMeasuring 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.
When looking at the temperatures, we were hoping that the fantastically marketed IceQ cooler would do a good job, but were sadly let down on both idle and load tests, though in comparison to the other cards, it is quite a bit more powerful.
