For our temperature testing, we measure steady-state GPU temperatures under load. A reading under load comes from running A Plague Tale: Requiem for 30 minutes.

As for temperatures, both cards did well here, though the Aorus Elite ran the coolest, hitting 54.6C and 58C on the GPU and VRAM, respectively, when using the Performance BIOS. The Palit is still very good though, this time with VRAM topping out at 70C, and the GPU staying below 65C at all times.
