Video Card Temperature Results

ADVERTISEMENT

For all temperature testing the cards were used in an open test bed environment. Ambient temperature was kept at a constant 20°C (+/- 0.5°C) and if the ambient room temperatures rose above 21°C or dropped below 19°C at any time, all benchmarking was stopped until proper temperatures could normalized.

For Idle tests, we let the system idle at the Windows 7 desktop for 25 minutes and recorded the peak temperature.

For Load tests, we ran Unigine’s Valley benchmark for 20 minutes.

We are not surprised to see how cool running the ASUS STRIX GTX 1070 08G is. When you combine an amazing cooler meant for even high TDP class of cards the end results when paired with a ‘mere’ GTX 1070 core has to be nothing short of stellar.

Sound Level Test Results

While everyone “hears” noise differently there is one easy way to remove all subjectivness and easily compare different fans: use a sound level meter. This way you can easily compare the various fans noise envelopes without us coloring the results and see what fans fit within your personal comfort level. Of course, we will endeavor to try and explain the various results – which are taken at a 15 inch distance from the GPU’s fan(s) – to help you gain an even better understanding of how loud a cooler’s stock fan is, but even if you discount our personal opinions, the fact remains numbers don’t lie.

For Idle tests, we let the system idle at the Windows 7 desktop for 25 minutes and recorded the peak dB.

For Load tests, we ran Unigine’s Valley benchmark for 20 minutes and recorded the peak dB.

Once again ASUS proves that their DirectCU III is not only potent but also rather silent. Now that is a combination everyone will love.

System Power Consumption

To obtain accurate results we have connected the system to a Power Angle power meter that has in turn been attached to a 1500watt UPS. This ensures only 120volt power is supplied to the PSU and removes an variances that could potential crop up because of brownouts and power spikes.

In order to stress the video card we have once again used Unigine’s Valley benchmark and ran it for 20 minutes to determine peak system power consumption. For idle results we have let the system idle at the Windows 7 desktop for 25 minutes and recorded the peak idle power consumption.

Even though this card routinely overclocks itself well in excess of what it is ‘supposed’ to be doing it really does not use all that extra power. Quite honestly we doubt any one will care one way or the other over a few watts of power… as the results are just too good to ignore.
