6990 so what I'm going to do is instead of holding my camera here close to the fan I'm actually going to hold it above the card right here and the reason I'm going to do that is because there's two things I'm going to compare it against I'm going to compare it against a single GTX 5 80 and I'm going to compare it against two GTX 580s in SLI so that'll give us a comparison against a high powerered single card as well as two high powered cards running in tandem so here's our idle temperature reading which is 39 to 38° in this particular room all right so we've got our load temperature for the radon 6990 and uh that is 8 2° and oh man you guys can't see this at all can you focus focus focus focus come on focus on my hand focus on the screen whatever you'll have to take my word for it 82° and 87° on each of the gpus so I'm fairly certain that the 82° is on this GPU and the 87° is on this GPU and I think the reason for that is that this Grill at the back is more restrictive or uh at yeah than this Grill at the front of the card because as soon as I go like this this the cooler GPU starts to heat up to the same kind of temperatures as the less cool GPU so uh that's something maybe they uh if you installed an aftermarket less restrictive Grill on your card you might have some success keeping down your GPU temperatures a little bit all right so right now I'm running only one of the gpus uh at its fan speed uh at its load fan speed so this is at 91° in furmark so this is the EVGA card that's running because remember wind openg GL programs will not run in SLI mode and for my two card Acoustics test I'm just going to take both cards I'm going to turn them up to the same percentage fan speed manually because I can't be bothered to run it and open our in full screen mode and change the exe and all those little tricks so the fan speed's around 80% so I'm just going to turn both fan speeds to 80% and take a reading and just for last guys here's 100% fan speed on the 6990 although it never ramped up to this speed during my testing so I'm going to be turning off auto in After Burner go away cat turning off auto and after burner and watch the piece of paper on the wall when I click apply okay bear in mind the card is here so it's about yay far away from the wall okay oh watch the cat too this might be funny see it's lifted away from the wall so in
