Here, we take a further look at the impact of our overclock, looking at the increased temperatures, acoustics and power draw.

Overview

Overall this really is a very weak manual overclock – real-world performance hardly changed, and neither did the card's noise levels or operating temperature. Power draw did rise by around 5%, but realistically you're not going to notice the difference between a stock and manually overclocked 5600 XT.
