Temperatures and boost clock
The card constantly boosts over 2000 MHz in gaming. This is well above what NVIDIA officially specifies for the boost and up to 120 MHz higher than what Palit achieves on the dual. The memory can also be overclocked a bit. Like the GeForce RTX 3060, the GPU could not even be stably overclocked by more than 75 MHz, which then resulted in about 60 MHz more clock after warming up. Effort and benefit? The dog-tail principle, because more waste heat causes the boost clock to drop again. Here you will have to hope for the GPU lottery and the best possible manual voltage adjustment in the Curve Editor. Depending on the chip grade.
The temperatures of the board partner card are really outstanding, also the newly added hotspot (sensor). Also note the somewhat unconventional temperature curve during gaming, which is due to the fan control (but I’ll get to that in a moment).
Now let’s move on to the recording with the high-resolution infrared camera. Optris’ PI640 features a true 640 x 480 pixel bolometer and records at up to 30 FPS. Here I use the normal lens and calibrated film with a known transmittance so that I can de facto see inside the closed housing. I will also remove the backplate for a test so that I can also measure the circuit board. Everything is fine at idle:
If you give the gaming loop free rein with plenty of 130 watts and some air, most things only heat up very moderately. Only the bottom of the VRM is still very cool with up to 54 °C and you can already clearly notice the equalization to 5 phases. Only the two memory VRMs are a bit higher, but this can also be described as cool or at most warm with 58 °C.
The VRM temperatures then hardly increase in the stress test with an identical TDP, which is why I can save myself the effort at this point. The cooling is beyond reproach, that is a pleasant fact.
