Real achievable clock rates and overclocking
This time, the clock rates and readout are simple. While the GPU clock of the Super card is 2850 MHz when cold, it levels off more or less permanently at 2805 MHz after it has warmed up completely, three boost steps lower. You can definitely leave that alone. With manual OC and the unfortunately fixed TBP limit of 285 watts, you can get around 120 MHz higher with a bit of luck, then it freezes or the driver performs a reset.
GPU temperatures in the case
The differences are not as great as feared if you use a proper case. If you close the panel, the GPU temperature (edge) rises by around 3 Kelvin, while the CPU hotspot rises by up to 5 Kelvin. Nevertheless, the values of 58 °C (Edge) and 70 °C (Hotspot) are nothing to be alarmed about. With OC, the values rise to a good 60 °C or 73 °C (hotspot), which is just about right. However, since the card is very quiet per se, you should make the fan curves a little more aggressive. There are enough reserves for this.
Infrared measurements (heat flow analysis)
Let’s start with the gaming loop and we can see that the voltage converters are already getting a little warmer. The 9 phases are only 9 phases and we remember the teardown.
In the stress test, the temperatures of the voltage regulators continue to rise, but the same applies here. The cooling is anything but optimal at this point and you end up in the hotspot at just under 83 °C without a backplate.
