For our temperature testing, we measure the peak GPU core temperature under load. A reading under load comes from running Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition for 30 minutes.

As for thermal performance, this was certainly expected, but the OC BIOS is the coolest-running of the two mode and improves on the Founders Edition by about 5C, or 4C when looking at the hot spot result. The Silent BIOS does run 1C warmer than the Founders Edition, but 63C is still a very low temperature, and as we shall see, it is very quiet as well.
