The tests were performed in a controlled air conditioned room with temperatures maintained at a constant 23c – 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 MSI cooler maintains temperatures around 60c-61c when gaming – this drops to around 30c when idle. The fans on this card don't spin until around 50c – ensuring silent operating conditions (such as when watching a movie or general internet browsing).
