OcUK GeForce GTX 970 ‘NVIDIA 970 Cooler Edition’ Review

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 reference cooler holds gaming temperatures at around 70c, rising to 77c when loaded with the synthetic Furmark stress test. While the cooler can't match third party solutions from companies such as ASUS or INNO3D, it is perfectly acceptable.
