Temperatures
Still in the same casing, we took a temperature reading of the GPU by internal sensors:
As you can see, the GeForce GTX 460s are well cooled. At idle the GPU hovers under the 30 °C mark, while the temperature in the room was between 26 and 27 °C. In load the temperatures remain relatively low with the MSIs having an advantage due to their more effective cooling system.
Here’s what the infrared thermographic imaging shows:
