Palit RTX 3060 Ti GamingPro OC Review

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.

Given the GamingPro OC is already pretty close to that 40dBa noise level, there isn't much thermal performance to be gained when tuning the fan curve. We only needed to increase the fan speed from 1800rpm up to 1890rpm to produce 40dBa of noise, and accordingly GPU temperatures only dropped by a single degree. This puts noise-normalised thermals 4C above the Founders Edition, but again, we can't forget the GamingPro OC is also running a higher power target.
