Here, we take a further look at the impact of our overclock, looking at the increased temperatures, acoustics and power draw.

Overview

This Gaming X is able to handle the increased frequency from our overclock without any issues. GPU temperatures, for instance, rose by just 1C – and noise levels didn't even increase by a single decibel. Power draw did jump up 14W or so, but even that only puts it alongside GTX 1060, so it is still a highly efficient card even when overclocked.
