Real achievable clock rates and overclocking
The clock rates and readout is simple this time. While the GPU clock of the card is at 2805 MHz when cold, it then levels off a few boost steps lower at 2775 to 2760 more or less slightly alternating after fully warming up. This can definitely be left alone. With an increase in the offset, this card ran stably beyond 2.9 GHz, thanks to the power limit of 215 watts.
GPU temperatures in the case
The differences aren’t as big as feared if you use a proper case. If you close the panel, the GPU temperature (Edge) increases by 3-4 Kelvin, the GDC hotspot increases by up to 4 Kelvin. Nevertheless, the values of around 65 °C (Edge) or up to 70 °C (Hotspot) and 62 to 64 °C for the VRAM are nothing to be afraid of. With OC, the values rise to an ample 66 °C or 71 °C (hotspot), which hardly matters. That fits perfectly.
Infrared measurements (heat flow analysis)
Let’s start with the gaming loop and we see that the voltage converters only get warm, but not really hot. The 8 phases are all positioned on one side and we remember the teardown and the VRM heatsink. Hotspot equalization and better heat distribution are not witchcraft, here it fits quite well.
In the stress test, the temperatures in the voltage regulators continue to rise, but what we just wrote also applies here. It is not really hot and always completely in the green zone. The cooling is thus absolutely sufficient at this point and would even have decent reserves for much more. The GPU temperature only increases slightly (power limit!), just like the left part of the PCB gets cooler, because the fans now also turn a bit higher and the airflow is clearly more noticeable.
