AMD RX 6600 XT Review ft. Gigabyte Gaming OC Pro

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.

Given how quiet the Gaming OC Pro proved to be, there is plenty of scope to crank the fan speed if you want even lower temperatures – we saw a peak GPU temperature of just 45C when noise-normalised to 40dBa. That's not a realistic use case for this specific card since it already runs so cool to begin with, but it will enable us to do some apples-to-apples cooler testing once we have tested other models.
