Temperature gradients and boost clock in detail
The cooler really lives up to its name and keeps the card pleasantly cool. After all, only 66°C in open construction and a maximum of 69° in the closed housing are now nothing that would have to scare you, on the contrary. The higher Power Target ex works ensures that the clock still plays along quite well, because fewer boost steps are lost due to the low temperatures. The Founders Edition is much slower and, above all, much hotter.
And now the whole thing again in sober numbers in table form:

Board Analysis: Infrared Images
The following image gallery shows all infrared images for the gaming and the torture loop in the open structure and in the closed case. The differences are visible, but the cooler still acts quite confidently, because it is not so much hotter in the end. There are no problem areas, at last.
Since the memory modules are also indirectly cooled via the backplate, they are of course a little cooler when the backplate is mounted. Test measurements with mounted backplate and thermal sensors revealed a delta of up to 2°C at the bottom of the board. However, how much of this really arrives at the top of the modules can only be guessed at.
By the way, it is nice to see on all pictures that the thermal pads for the VRM and the PWM controller are superfluous. This is exactly what MSI has avoided.
