In order to test the efficiency of the Arctic Accelero Twin Turbo 6990 VGA Cooler we installed this cooler on a HD 6990 and ran some tests.
We gathered idle temperatures by leaving the system on the desktop in an idle state for 15 minutes, we then collect the average idle temperature using GPU-Z . For gaming load temperatures we put the Unigine Heaven DirectX 11 benchmark on for a few runs through and then took the average temperature for the period as recorded by GPU-Z. For Furmark we ran a 10 minute full screen burn in test and then took the average temperature.
Using Unigine Heaven is a more realistic way of collecting gaming load temperatures as opposed to FurMark which doesn’t replicate a real-world scenario but is still useful for checking the maximum temperatures. To account for differences in ambient temperatures we use delta temperature figures.
To get the acoustic performance of the Arctic Accelero Twin Turbo 6990 VGA Cooler we used a decibel meter held 20 centimetres away from the fans and took a reading when the HD 6990 was in an idle state , gaming load scenario and under Furmark load.
The same tests were performed on the stock HD 6990 cooler so that we have some point of comparison, it also makes sense to compare it to the stock cooler as this is the cooler most people will want and need to upgrade from.
The full details of the testing are below.
