Temperatures

Great temperatures. These temperatures make, combined with a low noise-profile, for a killer combination.

I did some testing with the add-on fan feature. When I added the second fan in a stacked configuration, the temperatures improved by 2°C, but fan noise increased significantly due to the extra turbulence. The better option is to put the two fans side-by-side, which improves temperatures by 5°C, and increases fan noise only by a bit because there is no turbulence. Nevertheless, I see no point in using this feature given the low temperatures and noise in single-fan configuration.

Clock Profiles

Modern graphics cards have several clock profiles that are selected to balance power draw and performance requirements.

The following table lists the clock settings for important performance scenarios and the GPU voltage that we measured. We performed the measurement on the pins of a coil or a capacitor near the GPU voltage regulator.
