PowerColor HD6870 Eyefinity 6 Edition CrossfireX 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 cooler manages to hold the temperatures at 74c when gaming, and this rises to 80c when fully loaded in the Furmark stress test. Fan speeds peak at 67 percent when gaming and this rises to 76 percent when loaded in Furmark.
