HIS Radeon HD 7870 IceQ 2GB Graphics Card Review

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.
Finally taking a look at the temperatures of this card, we see a low 31 degrees on idle and an extremely low 62 degrees on load. Compared to a reference 7870, these temperatures are around 6-8 degrees lower, showing that this cooler really does offer great performance.
