Power & Temperatures
To get an idea as to what benefit the cooler has, we booted up F1 22 for an hour long benchmark loop to see exactly how the card performs under a prolonged gaming session.
The GPU temperature was pretty low here, sitting at around 55 degrees for the most part, with peaks up to only 57 degrees. The hotspot peaked at 86 degrees, but mostly sat at a slightly cooler 84 degrees, whilst the memory junction temperature stayed at 72 degrees for most of the test. The fans were certainly audible at our peak speed of 2067 RPM, and also at 1950 RPM, where the fans sat for most of the test. Our core clock got up to a peak of 2722 MHz, but mostly stayed around 2650 MHz, all the while the total board power was at a pretty steady usage of 257 Watts.
