Power, Temps and Noise
Partner-overclocked cards benchmark higher than reference for the obvious reason that they are set to high frequencies. Adding the MHz - for both core and memory here - pushes up consumption by 45W when compared to Nvidia's generic card. The system-wide number is just where we expect it to be, going by previous experiences.
That triple-slot cooling looks impressive and works well. The GPU keeps remarkably cool when under load.
But is it loud? No, not at all. Our logs show that the trio of fans barely get out of first gear when tasked to cool the GK110 GPU. Maybe Nvidia ought to borrow AMD's Cool 'n' Quiet terminology.
Inno3D's HerculeZ has above-average results in this section.
