The tests were performed in a controlled air conditioned room with temperatures maintained at a constant 23c – a comfortable environment for the majority of people reading this.Idle temperatures were measured after sitting at the desktop for 30 minutes. Load measurements were acquired by playing Crysis Warhead for 30 minutes and measuring the peak temperature. We also have included Furmark results, recording maximum temperatures throughout a 30 minute stress test. All fan settings were left on automatic.


The cooler on the Palit Super JetStream is capable, holding game load temperatures at 63c, this is 1c behind than the Gigabyte GTX980 G1 Gaming but ahead of the MSI GTX980 Ti Gaming 6G and Asus STRIX Gaming GTX980 Ti DUC3.

We install the graphics card into our system and measure temperatures on the back of the PCB with our Fluke Visual IR Thermometer/Infrared Thermal Camera. This is a real world running environment.

Details shown below.

The backplate on the Palit GTX980 ti Super JetStream helps to spread the heat evenly. There is a single hot spot on the rear, with temperatures hitting 68c under extended load.
