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.


MSI's Hybrid Frozr cooler is exceptionally good, holding a gaming temperature around 60c. We recorded 1c improved performance over the Direct CU cooler on the Asus GTX980 Strix.
