Intel Core i7 2700k Flagship Showdown 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.

Temperatures were quite close when looking at the comparison between the 2700k and the FX-8150, though we know first hand that as soon as you start to overclock, the i7 pulls ahead by keeping a consistent low temperature, while the AMD FX-8150 keeps generating mass amounts of heat, even under the most extreme cooling solutions.

    1. That's correct, to compare to the other processors (fx-8150) we had to find a common ground that they could all clock to. That was 4.6GHz. We then also show the MAX overclock of the chip which is 5.3GHz, but the FX 8150 can't do this under our condition.
