Palit RTX 2070 Game Rock Premium Edition review - Heavy chunk with good performance | igorsLAB | Page 5

We know some heavy guys, but with the current GeForce-RTX models, Palit has taken a lot to heart, which has been repeatedly called for in the previous models. And the Game Rock Premium Edition (GRPE) really lives up to its name, because the part is a real mountain of graphics card, almost a small mountain. But I don't want to pre-empt the test, but I can't hide the fact that I was already quite tense...

Temperature gradients and boost clock in detail

The cooler is brutal, which allows the fan speeds to be reduced to approx. 50 percent. But i’ll get to that in a while. More importantly, temperatures of 64 to 65 ° can be reached in an open structure and 66 to 67 °C in the closed housing even if the ears do not fall off. The clock is still in the closed housing and after the final warm-up is still 1875 MHz, which is really good. So here, even without manually overclocking, you could only gain one or even two boost steps with aggressively adjusted fans.

This is no different with the stress test, because the waste heat is largely the same as the power consumption.

And now the whole thing again in sober numbers in table form:

	Initial Palit RTX 2070 GRPE Ex	Final value Palit RTX 2070 GRPE Ex	Final value GeForce RTX 2070 Founders Edition
Open Benchtable
GPU Temperatures	35 °C	64-65 °C	76 °C
GPU clock	1935 MHz	1890 MHz	1665 MHz
Ambient temperature	22 °C	22 °C	22 °C
Closed Case
GPU Temperatures	36 °C	66-67 °C	77°C
GPU clock	1920 MHz	1860/1875 MHz	1635 MHz
Air temperature in the housing	25 °C	44 °C	42 °C

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 is absolutely confident in spite of everything, because it is not so much hotter in the end. What is really striking, however, is that there are no real hotspots, but the area is quite uniformly heated. This testifies to the already mentioned pavement with thermal pads and the connection of large areas to the radiator.
