Temperature & Power Consumption Results

Temperature

The Gigabyte GTX 780's Windforce 3X cooler proved extremely effective, keeping temperatures a full 10 degrees cooler than the reference design. This will be particularly notable for anyone wishing to adjust the GPU Boost 2.0 temperature threshold on the card to obtain even higher boost clock speeds.

The triple fans on the Gigabyte GTX 780 were also fairly quiet, even when ramped up to more than 80% fan speed.

 

Power Consumption

Despite its triple fan setup, power consumption on the Gigabyte GTX 780 was quite reasonable, running just 9 watts higher than the reference design at load.
