For our temperature testing, we measure the peak GPU core temperature under load. A reading under load comes from running Cyberpunk 2077 for 30 minutes.

As for thermal testing, even considering the massive 480W power limit, we’d hope that the Aorus Xtreme will run cool thanks to its 360mm AIO liquid cooler, and I am pretty happy with these results. We saw a peak GPU temperature of 58C, while the hot spot hit 71C, easily making this the coolest-running RTX 3090 Ti we have tested so far.
