The card produces quite a bit of heat under full stress so ventilation inside your PC is a must. Most of it will be exhausted into your chassis.Īs stated, most heat is exhausted at the top side, at the M1 position we do see that quite well. Remember, this is the graphics card 100% stressed in a FireStrike scene 1 loop.Īlso if you look closely to the left side, the front exit is not lighting up, meaning very little hot air is passing through there. The hottest point is the top side of the card where there is some residual heat detected.

When we position the thermal camera outwards we can see that the overall cooler design really works well, there are no danger spots relative towards hot temperatures. We've seen closed back-plate designs on the founder edition cards, and such ones are not our favorites, we like to see lots of gaps to vent. The thermal image clearly shows that the back-plate is trapping heat.

It only takes about one-thirtieth of a second for the detector array to obtain the temperature information to make the thermogram. The detector elements create a very detailed temperature pattern called a thermogram. This focused light is scanned by a phased array of infrared-detector elements. With a thermal imaging camera a special lens focuses the infrared light emitted by all of the objects in view. The downside of thermal imaging hardware is simple, FLIR camera's with a bit of decent resolution costs up-to 10,000 EUR. Multiple options are available but the best thing to do is to visualize heat coming from the product or component being tested. Over the past years we have been trying to figure out what the best possible way is to measure temperatures on hardware. Tweet Thermal Imaging Temperature MeasurementsĪ new addition to our reviews will be the inclusion of Forward Looking Infra Red thermal images of hardware.
