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 for our noise-normalised testing, as expected the Gaming OC does run at lower temperatures than the Founders Edition, reducing the GPU temperature by 4C. The memory temperature also remains 10C cooler, but we will test plenty more 4080s in the coming weeks to add to this chart.
