Sapphire Radeon HD 7950 OC 3GB 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.
Going back to a heatpipe design rather than the newer vapour chamber may have seemed a different move but we can see that the cooling department at Sapphire really do know how to make the technology work and keep everything cool when the going gets tough.
