Power, Temperature and Noise
Board power averages 356W in the out-the-box state. Explains why the EVGA nips at the MSI's heels. This is to be expected as both are overclocked and feature some impressive cooling.
75°C is very much acceptable for a card of this stature.
Running along at a consistent 1,905MHz means the three fans need to work quite hard to keep temps in check. Logs show an average 1,685rpm, which translates to almost 40dB. Not loud, but not overly quiet, either. Using the 2,000rpm OC mode increases noise to 41.9dB.
