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 now at thermal performance, the results are OK but not class-leading. The Performance BIOS registered a peak temperature of 75C, whereas the Silent BIOS registered a peak of 73C as a result of its lower power target. These are perfectly acceptable temperatures, but the Eagle OC does look more appealing due to its sub-70C results.
