Temperatures
For our temperature testing we run two different tests. The first is idle with our system sitting on the Windows Desktop. The second is running the AIDA64 system stability test with GPU testing turned on.
Power Consumption
Power consumption for a system is of course very important. To measure power consumption we use the GPU Power Draw sensor in GPU-Z. The idle test is taken on the Windows 7 desktop. The load test was taken running the AIDA64 system stability test with GPU testing turned on.
