KFA2 Geforce GTX680 EX OC review

The tests were performed in a controlled air conditioned room with temperatures maintained at a constant 24c – 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 KFA2 Geforce GTX680 EX OC runs around 5c cooler than the reference card, although the fan never spins up much higher when loaded with Furmark, as indicated by the variable reduction. 67c when gaming is a fantastic result for such a high end board.

The fans spin around 1,400 rpm when gaming, and this only rises to 1,500 rpm when tasked with the demanding synthetic load.
