KFA2 GT 520 Passive 1GB Graphics Card Review

Temperatures
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.
Viewing the temperatures was something we were keen to see as this card incorporates its passive design and being honest we were quite impressed with 35 degrees idle and 56 degrees load. For a passive card it really shows the true potential behind this card if running in a HTPC for HD content.
