The GT300/Fermi Thread - Part 2!

i think they are measuring in kelvin. i dont see how idle power could be worse by this much when it consumes in worst case scenario 50% more power at peak.


maybe this is why charlie writes libelous articles about nvidia.

People around here don't seem to be able to differentiate between power and temperature. An idle temperature of 70 may not mean much, since the 4850 idled really hot too. If this is all true, likely this is done to keep acoustics in check, with the screaming coming during load.
