PNY GeForce GTX570 Enthusiast Edition Review

The tests were performed in a controlled enviroment with temperatures maintained at a constant 20c – a touch cooler then the average persons room temperature.

Idle temperatures were measured after sitting at the desktop for 30 minutes. Our peak gaming temperatures were obtained by playing Crysis Warhead for 30 minutes. Our maximum Furmark temperatures were recorded during a 15 minute stress test. All fan settings were left on automatic.

Due to the fan profile configuration the total load temperatures never exceeded 83c.  The automatic fan speed never passed 57% which resulted in very reasonable noise levels.

If we look at the images from Furmark testing, temperatures rose quickly until reaching their peak. Once we reached the high of 83c the cooler and fan profile held it steady. The temperatures then remained stable for the duration of our tests. They also verify the fact that our modest overclocking had no effect on the peak temperature of 83c.
