Cooling and Noise

Most games can heat up your video card but if you really want to put it to the test Furmark is one of the best ways to push a card beyond what it really should be. This isn’t great for your card, but it’s the best way for us to show you guys how the video card will cool in the most extreme situations. The HD 7870 FLeX has those massive heatpipes, because of that I wasn’t all that shocked when I saw the results. Sapphires cooler did an amazing job keeping the card cool and even more impressive was the lack of any loud fan noise when doing out testing.
