Sapphire HD 6850 Fan Noise Comparison
Full Review here: http://hitechlegion.com/reviews/graphics/6514-sapphire-radeon-hd-6850-video-card-review Testing how loud the stock cooling fan on a Sapphire HD 6850 is. Camera is 22 inches away from the GPU fan and inside an NZXT Hades case with stock cooling configuration for a real world test. For a test without the case fans and CPU fans running (only the GPU and the PSU fans), watch that comparison video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9DwD9OAk9ls The stock fan is extremely quiet and isn't audible over the case fans when its under 55% fan speed, especially considering during OCCT GPU load test, the highest the fan reached was 58% fan speed and the fan speed idles at 25%. At 23C room temperature, the OCCT load was 70C @ 58% fan speed and idle temperature was 41C @ 25% fan speed.
