Temperatures and boost clock
The card constantly boosts above 1920 MHz in gaming in Turbo mode. This is well above what NVIDIA officially states for the boost and also 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 90 MHz, which then resulted in about 75 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).
Fan curve and maximum operating noise (“volume”)
Let’s now look at the consequences of graphics card heating due to the electrical power consumed. Of course, I will later be interested in the noise level of what is now emitted as complex fan noise. Whether gaming or Turbo, the temperatures look very similar, but the fan curves do not. The card in the closed configuration acts very confidently, with the speeds varying around 1650 rpm in both scenarios. The control is semi-passive in normal mode and you can also see why the temperature curve starts so spiky. The fan remains off up to 53 °C and there is no extra switch-on pulse. This is elegantly saved by this tip. Smart, as nothing howls.
in Turbo mode, on the other hand, at least 30% PWM is always present, which also changes softer as a result, making the curve rounder.
Now we come to the noise level and the sound character. With about 38.6 dB in the gaming loop (Turbo mode) and about 130 watts, I measure a still acceptable value, but you can already notice it individually from the case. The sound characteristic mixes an audible noise with the just measurable engine noise (about 170 Hz), which, however, completely disappears next to the lower-frequency peaks towards the top. The bearing noise creates slight peaks, but you can’t really hear them.
