00:00:00.480 --> 00:00:07.200
all right guys so I'm going to take a slightly different approach to my

00:00:03.840 --> 00:00:10.960
temperature and Acoustics testing than I

00:00:07.200 --> 00:00:13.599
normally do this is with the HD

00:00:10.960 --> 00:00:19.320
6990 so what I'm going to do is instead of holding my camera here close to the

00:00:16.080 --> 00:00:22.560
fan I'm actually going to hold it above

00:00:19.320 --> 00:00:24.640
the card right here and the reason I'm

00:00:22.560 --> 00:00:29.000
going to do that is because there's two things I'm going to compare it against

00:00:26.560 --> 00:00:35.879
I'm going to compare it against a single GTX 5 80 and I'm going to compare it

00:00:32.040 --> 00:00:39.480
against two GTX 580s in SLI so that'll

00:00:35.879 --> 00:00:42.440
give us a comparison against a high

00:00:39.480 --> 00:00:48.160
powerered single card as well as two high powered cards running in tandem so

00:00:45.559 --> 00:00:54.680
here's our idle temperature reading which is 39 to

00:00:51.680 --> 00:00:56.359
38° in this particular room all right so

00:00:54.680 --> 00:01:03.960
we've got our load temperature for the radon 6990 and uh that is 8 2° and oh man you

00:01:02.160 --> 00:01:10.320
guys can't see this at all can you focus focus focus focus come on focus on my

00:01:07.960 --> 00:01:16.080
hand focus on the screen whatever you'll have to take my word for it 82° and 87°

00:01:13.759 --> 00:01:21.320
on each of the gpus so I'm fairly certain that the 82° is on this GPU and

00:01:18.920 --> 00:01:26.799
the 87° is on this GPU and I think the reason for that is that this Grill at

00:01:23.520 --> 00:01:28.439
the back is more restrictive or uh at

00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:32.640
yeah than this Grill at the front of the card because as soon as I go like this

00:01:30.040 --> 00:01:38.399
this the cooler GPU starts to heat up to the same kind of temperatures as the

00:01:35.119 --> 00:01:40.159
less cool GPU so uh that's something

00:01:38.399 --> 00:01:44.240
maybe they uh if you installed an aftermarket less restrictive Grill on

00:01:41.920 --> 00:01:47.960
your card you might have some success keeping down your GPU temperatures a

00:01:46.200 --> 00:01:53.840
little bit all right so right now I'm running only one of the gpus uh at its

00:01:51.079 --> 00:01:58.520
fan speed uh at its load fan speed so this is at

00:01:55.200 --> 00:02:00.119
91° in furmark so this is the EVGA card

00:01:58.520 --> 00:02:05.680
that's running because remember wind openg GL programs will not run in SLI

00:02:02.680 --> 00:02:07.079
mode and for my two card Acoustics test

00:02:05.680 --> 00:02:12.640
I'm just going to take both cards I'm going to turn them up to the same percentage fan speed manually because I

00:02:10.599 --> 00:02:17.000
can't be bothered to run it and open our in full screen mode and change the exe

00:02:14.760 --> 00:02:23.040
and all those little tricks so the fan speed's around 80% so I'm just going to

00:02:19.800 --> 00:02:26.040
turn both fan speeds to 80% and take a

00:02:23.040 --> 00:02:26.040
reading

00:02:31.840 --> 00:02:37.560
and just for last guys here's 100% fan

00:02:35.080 --> 00:02:42.360
speed on the 6990 although it never ramped up to this speed during my

00:02:39.720 --> 00:02:48.760
testing so I'm going to be turning off auto in After Burner go away cat turning

00:02:46.239 --> 00:02:53.200
off auto and after burner and watch the piece of paper on the wall when I click

00:02:50.599 --> 00:02:59.480
apply okay bear in mind the card is here so it's about yay far away from the wall

00:02:57.159 --> 00:03:01.840
okay oh watch the cat too this might be funny

00:03:05.720 --> 00:03:14.920
see it's lifted away from the wall so in conclusion the Radeon 6990 is

00:03:12.080 --> 00:03:19.120
pretty darn loud but it's also pretty darn powerful don't forget to subscribe
