Temperature Testing

To test the temperatures of the HIS Radeon HD 5870 I fired up FurMark 1.70 and GPUz. Running FurMark at a resolution of 1024x768 was more than enough to bring the work load to 100%

All temperatures were taken with the fan control on auto. Starting out at 54 degrees is a reasonable temperature.  The HIS Radeon HD5870 does use the reference cooler on it which did a good job leveling out the temperature once it hit 86 degrees.

Benchmark Results: The HIS Radeon HD5870 was the hottest card that I tested.  It is also the fastest card that I tested.  If you don't mind a little bit of extra noise you can always bump the fan speed up to cool the card down better.
