AMD RX 6600 Review ft. ASUS and Gigabyte

Following on from our stock thermal and acoustic testing, here we re-test the operating temperature of the GPU, but with noise levels normalised to 40dBa. This allows us to measure the efficiency of the overall cooling solution as varying noise levels as a result of more aggressive fan curves are no longer a factor.

Both GPUs were already running very cool anyway, and we didn't see massive reductions in temperature when noise-normalising to 40dBa. If anything, you'd want to be slowing the fan curve for lower noise levels, as there is clearly plenty of thermal headroom to do so.
