Club3D HD7870 Royal King 2GB Graphics Card Review

The tests were performed in a controlled air conditioned room with temperatures maintained at a constant 25c – a comfortable environment for the majority of people reading this.

Idle temperatures were measured after sitting at the desktop for 30 minutes. Load measurements were acquired by playing Crysis Warhead for 30 minutes and measuring the peak temperature. We also have included Furmark results, recording maximum temperatures throughout a 30 minute stress test. All fan settings were left on automatic.

The cooler is underperforming, peaking at 83c after 30 minutes of intensive gaming. When placed under synthetic Furmark load, the temperatures rise another 10c, to 93c. The fan is meanwhile spinning at a whopping 3,638 rpm which generates a lot of noise. More on this on the next page.
