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.

We increased fan speed to 1830rpm for our 40dBa noise-normalised temperature testing, where the Aero OC saw GPU and hot spot temperatures of just 53C and 63C, respectively. That's a clear improvement over the Founders Edition and a hair better than Palit's JetStream OC.

Memory temperatures are better still, peaking at just 52C – 6C cooler than the JetStream OC.
