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.
We can see the advantages of the massive cooler fitted to the Palit GTX 780 TI Jetstream OC. Interestingly this sample of the card runs around 7c cooler than the previous version we got for review last year ! The Nvidia GTX Titan Black under gaming load runs just below 80c, rising to 85C when tasked with the synthetic Furmark benchmark.
