 Alright guys as promised I'm gonna be doing a temperature and acoustics comparison between the reference GeForce GTX 560 Ti and the ASUS DirectCU2 GeForce GTX 560 Ti And since I had so many requests to also include it I will be including the MSI GTX 560 Ti twin frozer 2 version of this graphics card So this will be a three-way roundup. I'm gonna be using Furmark. Yes, I know it is not a perfect temperature and load testing application for GeForce cards Because they will all throttle down when running Furmark It is a software patch that Nvidia has implemented to keep users from burning out their cards However, since we're comparing three like GPUs, they're all GeForce GTX 560 Ti's My theory is that they'll all ramp down equally so we will at least be able to compare these three cards against each other both in terms of load temperatures as well as in terms of noise So for our stock reference cooled card We're looking at load temps of about well not about exactly 75 degrees Celsius once it levels out Since our room temperature is about 24 degrees Celsius. We're gonna round that up. That means we have a delta of 51 degrees Celsius So I'll do all the audio clips at the end But just to show you guys how loud they are But the stock fan actually doesn't ramp up very high in terms of the overall fan speed so it remains fairly quiet now the direct cu2 is Significantly louder than the stock fan But I think a big part of that is because the fan ramps right up to about 2400 rpm but the good news is that with its Hybrid of like a straight heat sink and then you see those heat pipes coming out there and then like a thin heat pipe Design where the one fan is blowing at the heat sink and the other fan is blowing at the heat pipe fins They actually achieve significantly better temperatures than the stock cooler. So at 61 degrees in a 24 degree room That is a delta of only 37 degrees compared to the stock cooler, which is significantly better All right, so our room is closer to about the almost 27 till we'll call it 26 degrees in our room right now. It's gotten warm from doing from running Furmark on these video cards It's not a very large office that I have as you can plainly see All right. So with the twin frozer 2 we're looking at low temperatures of 50. Oh, okay We'll look over here low temperatures of 57 degrees focus focus There we go 57 degrees so when we take our room temp really Wow, it's going up really fast now So 27 degrees now, we'll call it Call it 26 because that's what it was before. Okay, so 57 minus 26 gives us a 31 degree delta There it is. Yeah, 26. It's just air currents in the room right now So you guys got to understand that all of these results are only going to be accurate to within a couple degrees delta Because it's not a super controlled environment. You can see my temp probe is generally positioned at the intake of the fans, so Yeah, pretty much there they're fairly equivalent I'd say and subjectively the noise From the twin frozer 2 is pretty similar to the noise from the direct cu2 But I'll leave that for you guys to judge with the audio samples at the end Don't forget to subscribe to Linus Tech Tips for more unboxings reviews and other computer videos
