Temperature Testing

The major difference between the Radeon X1950 XTX and the PowerColor was the choice of cooler. The PowerColor used the same cooler as the Radeon X1900 XT, which was not the most efficient of coolers. Not surprisingly, the PowerColor was almost 10 degrees Celsius warmer than the Radeon X1950 XTX. The temperatures of the memory modules were also quite high, probably as a result of the high clock speeds. Overall though, the PowerColor performed slightly better here compared to its predecessor.
