Performance

For performance testing, I measured the temperatures using Rivatuner’s hardware monitor, and tested the termperatures of GPU under load and at idle. To create the hardware load I used the feature and batch tests of 3DMark05 running continuously for 10 mins. I also tested to see if the cooler affected the overclockability of the card.

Since I didn’t have the stock cooler lying around, I decided to pit the Jetart cooler against the Arctic Cooler. Quite the gauntlet for the copper warrior, but it was taken up without fuss… It could hardly say no could it?

So there we go. The Jetart cooler trounced the Artic Cooler in cooling ability. I can also let you know that having the graphics card down to those temperatures seems to have increased stability under heavy load as well.

The other aspect of the coolers I wanted to compare was how they affected the overclockability of the card. My results were as follows:

As you can see, again the Jetart JACSH1 VGA cooler beats the Artic Cooler in every respect. True it does not grant enormous gains over the Artic Cooler, but it is certainly better, and as you can see, much more stable in the higher frequencies than the Artic Cooler is.
