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.

As we'd expect, when noise-normalised the Aorus Elite delivers better results, bettering the Infinity 3 by 10-12C depending on the metric. We would expect this given it's the bigger and heavier card, and it's not like the Palit's results are bad!
