AMD RX 6900 XT Review

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.

As the reference design of the 6900 XT is still very quiet, there is plenty of room to noise-normalise to 40dBa and see a reduction in operating temperature. Edge temperature dropped from 79C down to 70C, while the junction temperature also fell by 10C.

We also added the 6800 XT noise-normalised results to the chart, and as we'd expect given they use the same cooler and both are rated for 300W, the overall results are almost identical.
