For our temperature tests we loaded the system for 10 minutes using Furmark and recorded the GPU temperature using CPUID HWMonitor. We then restarted the system and left it idling at the desktop for 10 minutes before recording idle temperatures. The temperatures recorded are based on an ambient temperature of 20 degrees C.
We can see that the thermal performance of this cooler is quite impressive with the fan set at full speed, coming close to matching the NZXT Kraken G10 and X40 combination. With the profiles set to auto, the target temperature is set to 95 degrees C, hence the less than impressive score.
