DeepCool V6000 VGA Cooler Review

GPU TemperaturesMeasuring temperatures is all about being consistent; therefore we make sure that the test is kept completely fair so that none of the coolers are at a disadvantage. We measure the GPU, VRM and GPU (MEMIO) temperatures using GPU-Z after a 15 minute idle period. We then measure the same component’s temperatures using GPU-Z after a 15 minute load period using MSI Kombustor with the GPU Burn-in setting.

The chart shows the delta component temperature (difference between ambient temperature and recorded component temperature). This way we can fairly compare each cooler without presenting any inaccuracies due to slight fluctuations in the ambient temperature or unfair results.

Here is an example of how to understand delta temperatures. “If the ambient (room) temperature is 25C and the recorded GPU temperature is 65C, the delta temperature is the GPU’s temperature rise above ambient temperature, therefore the delta temperature in this case would be 40C. If the ambient temperature is 23C and the recorded GPU Temperature is 80C, the delta temperature in this case would be 57C. Delta temperature = Recorded component temperature – Ambient temperature“.

The DeepCool V6000 performs well in our tests concerning GPU cooling capabilities. The results show that the DeepCool V6000 currently holds the GPU cooling crown compared to the other VGA coolers we have tested here at eTeknix.

The GPU (MEMIO) temperature isn’t good enough to thrust the V6000 into pole position for a second consecutive time. Gelid’s Icy Vision Rev. 2 along with the Twin Turbo Pro actually beat the V6000 in the load temperature result.
