Palit RTX 4080 GameRock 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.

We had to increase fan speed up to 1880rpm to hit 40dBa, and this saw noise-normalised GPU temperatures drop to 57.7C, putting it within 1C of the Gigabyte Gaming OC, so it's certainly an efficient cooler. The memory thermals are still slightly warmer, but at 60C it's still a good result, even if the Gaming OC and iChill X3 are a bit cooler.
