For our temperature testing, we measure the peak GPU core temperature under load. A reading under load comes from running the 3DMark Time Spy stress test for 30 minutes.

Looking at the temperature testing for the Phantom Gaming, there's no doubt this is a capable cooler from ASRock. It may not be the outright best we have seen, as the Gigabyte Gaming OC and MSI Gaming X do post lower temperatures – but even so, an edge temperature under 70C is great, as is the 81C junction temp and 78C memory figure.

There's nothing to worry about in terms of hot spots, either, with a peak of just under 80C on the front side where the camera picked up on one of the exposed chokes. The hot spot behind the GPU core came in at just over 62C.
