Following on from our stock thermal and acoustic testing, here we re-test the operating temperature of the GPU, but with noise levels normalised to 40dBa. This allows us to measure the efficiency of the overall cooling solution as varying noise levels as a result of more aggressive fan curves are no longer a factor.

Noise normalised thermal performance confirms what we suspected – the Vanguard SOC cooler is more than a match for the 300W GB203 die, crushing MSI's own Ventus 3X (remember, that's an MSRP card) while also easily outperforming the Palit GamingPro OC model.
