MSI GTX 1080 Gaming X Plus 8GB Review

Temperatures were measured after 5 minutes of load under three scenario: Furmark, Unigine Heaven and desktop idle in sequential order with 2 minutes of downtime in between each test. GPU-Z was used to record the maximum temperature, fan profiles on GPUs were left to their default behaviour.

Delta temperatures are presented below to account for small fluctuations in room temperature, but for all the testing present in this graph the temperature ranged from 21.6 to 23.1 degrees Celsius.

With such low noise you'd think temperatures might suffer, but they don't. Temperatures struggle to break 70 degrees Celsius even during a prolonged gaming session and the backplate does a great job of dispersing heat on the PCB, preventing any hotspots.
