For our temperature testing, we measure the peak GPU core temperature under load. A reading under load comes from running Cyberpunk 2077 for 30 minutes.

Thermally, the 4080 Super FE does as well as you'd expect, keeping the GPU at 64C while the hotspot hit 75C. This puts it about level with the Gigabyte Gaming OC when using the Silent BIOS.
