MSI GTX 580 Twin Frozr II vs Reference Card Temp Comparison Linus Tech Tips

2011-02-24
alright guys now I did promise a follow-up on the GTX 580 twin froze or two overclocked video card unboxing that I did so I've got the card here and I promised you guys that I would compare it against a reference cooled card so here I've got an EVGA GeForce GTX 580 reference card so it's using the stock Nvidia cooler I've got my trusty temperature probe which tells us that well okay as of before I walked over there it was at 22 degrees but I guess now we're up around 23 ish degrees and I've also got fir mark running now remember fir mark does no longer deliver accurate results if you're trying to find the absolute max temps of a geforce card however since we're comparing two identical cards to GTX 580 s we can trust it to tell us the relative temperatures under a similar load of these two cards so you can see up here in the top right corner our GPU temperature is that and you can't see that at all can you I guess I'll just have to walk over to the TV and not be lazy all right so our GTX 580 is running at 69 degrees with a fan speed of about 2,000 rpm that stocks means here and I'm just going to take a quick audio sample for you guys to show you what the reference cooler sounds like under load and here is the twin frozer - you can see our room has warmed up a little bit so whenever you're comparing the Twin Frozr to results against the stock cooler results you should assume that if the room temperatures were the same that the temperatures of the Twin Frozr - would actually be a couple degrees cooler looks like it's fluctuating as I move around it's a very sensitive sensor there so anyway the Twin Frozr - Peaks bearing in mind this is an overclocked card so it runs at 800 megahertz versus the stock frequency of the GTX 580 and oh please focus come on come on what can I collect you can focus there you go okay so 800 megahertz and then we've also got a peak GPU temperature of 57 degrees so that is pretty darn impressive the fan rpm is around 2400 and that is what it sounds like so the Twin Frozr - absolutely destroys the stock cooler in terms of performance personally I think it looks nicer - but you know to each his own so thank you for checking out this little video on the msi gtx 570 Twin Frozr - don't forget to subscribe to Linus tech tips from Ron boxing's reviews and other computer videos
