Last year on May, I decided to use Liquid Metal on this card out of curiosity of the potential cooling performance of this card and found that this card was capable of staying under 80c while drawing 374 Watts under load with boost clock speeds reaching at 3450Mhz in some games without raytracing. Until September, I decided to use Thermal Putty for the first time and found that this card has perfect surface contact between the Die and Cold Plate, so the temperature delta from Edge to Hotspot is (25c) and Hotspot to Memory (5c). This is probably due to having a Vapor Chamber, along with having consistent surface contact. Maybe this is a "Golden Sample", however I don't know if it is or not.
CPU: Ryzen 7 7800X3D: Curve Optimizer -30.
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 32GB CL30-40-40-104 6400 1.40V Hynix A-Die (EXPO), Overclocked to CL32-45-45-42-126 8000 1.68V.

GPU Tune: I have been running this specific setup for almost one year.
Driver Version: 26.1.1
-110mv Voltage Offset, (Some older games won't let me run this unless it's a newer game, or it it's fully under GPU limited conditions, so this ranges between -75mv to -110mv).
2750Mhz Memory Clock (Fast Timing), (This is fully stable).
Power Limit +10%, (I prefer performance over efficiency).
Fan Curve: (Running higher fan speeds wasn't necessary).
| P1: 23% – 25c | P2: 23% – 39c | P3: 33% – 53 |
|---|---|---|
| P4: 47% – 67c | P5: 60% – 82c |
