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.
These results are incredible. We double checked the results multiple times – the cooler maintains core temperature when gaming at 48c. This is by far the best GTX980 cooler we have tested to date and easily outperforms both MSI and ASUS solutions under load.

CD Projekt Red has ‘no plans’ to update Cyberpunk 2077 for PS5 Pro
If you recently invested in a PS5 Pro and had hopes for a Cyberpunk 2077 update, then we have some bad news for you...
holy sht!! this is a monster of a card! im impressed by the temperatures and still decent noise.
Any hint on how hot the VRM’s were? I don’t suppose you could monitor them in GPUz?
you just need an infrared thermometer like the PCE-777
looks cool and is a giant dust trap! lol closed circuit liquid cooling like some amd cards have done would be much better imo
While i want to agree, it will make it harder to fit. Especially if you go for an SLI setup.
They would likely have a fan on there regardless so they can cool the other components such as memory and VRMs. Plus if you have filters on your case, dust shouldn’t be too much of an issue if you set it up properly.
Why does this video card have a name created by a 9 year old Cawwadooty player?
Will an SLI of these fit in an Asus Maximus vii hero board? D:
How the vrm temp under furmark??
How the vrm temp under furmark??
it’s a triple slot card
I meant the depth, when it is in your case, not the thickness.
Thanks though!

Please do tests again with 347.52 this can’t be right. My 970 1557/3888 1.275v gets 13581 in firestrike!!
For about that money I will get me an evga hydro 980 ti, and kick it’s ugly ass.
