Power & Temperatures
When it comes to power, temperatures and fan speed, this is an interesting one because it’s a bit unfair. We were sent the ASUS Prime OC triple fan card, which technically isn’t an MSRP card and will command a higher price point of around $30. The saving grace here is that it doesn’t mean all of our testing is pointless, as ASUS will have a dual fan version, which is meant to hit that $429 price point, so cooling to one side, performance in terms of games should be nigh on identical.
What we do see from this card though are some good temperatures, hovering around 61 degrees for the GPU, and 60 degrees for the memory junction temperature, all while remaining on the quiet side in terms of fans that sat just below 1500 RPM, which is quiet enough not to be heard over the rest of your systems case fans and CPU cooler. Clock speed remained pretty consistent around 2750MHz, and the power remained under the 180W TDP of the 5060 Ti at 172W on average.
