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.
The single slot cooler isn't as good as the reference cooler, although due to the physical size differences this really is to be expected. It runs between 7 and 8c hotter than our reference card.
single slot for a 7850 is quite impressive. ill not want them myself, but its a good idea to get your name noticed IMO. media fanbois should love this.
They would work well in the latest silverstone small form factor chassis. im tempted to build a second system now, with a liquid cooling system.
Its HOTTER, LOUDER and more power hungry. Even if its single slot, its a pretty big fail if u ask me.
im confused, are foxconn actually behind these or is it a different company? the name surely must mean they are linked in.
@ Maxwell.
Its less power hungry, did you read the graph wrong? also single slot cards are always going to be hotter and louder. unless they can suddenly develop new fan technology that is half the size/depth which miraculously is quieter. hasn’t happened.
@ Davis
AFOX are an off-shoot of the Foxconn brand. Originally set up as a graphics division to Foxconn it soon split and became its own company.
