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.
The S-shape heatpipe design used may be more than able to keep the card cool, however a more efficient fan design may reward this card with a better cooling performance, lowering the temperatures experienced at full load.
