Temperature & Power Consumption Results

Temperature Results

Despite some initial reports of thermal issues with the first batch of Devil 13 cards, our review unit had no such problems, putting its huge heatsink and triple-fan cooling to good use, running at a 'cool' 72 degrees celcius at the core. This was much better than NVIDIA's dual GPU GTX 690. Despite its three fans, noise levels were also quite low.

 

Power Consumption Results

Power consumption on the Devil 13, as expected, was quite high, peaking at 477 watts during benchmarking, which was equal to a 2-way CrossFireX Radeon HD 7970 setup. Surprisingly, it also displayed fairly high power consumption even while idle at the Windows desktop.
