Test Rig
For our tests, we used a completely new test rig which comprises of an Asus Maximus IX Hero motherboard, along with an Intel Core i5-7600K at default clock speed of 3.8GHz, as well as 32GB Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR4-3000 ram in dual channel mode.
All tests were conducted at default clock speeds at a resolution of 1920×1080. High or Ultra settings enabled.

Aida64 CPU Information
Idle Temperatures
Before we start, I want to inform our readers that all settings on the card were left at default and untouched. Incidentally, if temperatures get to high, users can use the AORUS GRAPHICS ENGINE software to adjust the fan speeds. For the purpose of our temperature tests, we did not use any software to increase the fan speed.
As you can see, idle temperatures it a low of 26 degrees Celsius. Not bad.
Load Temperatures
Peak load temperatures hit a high of 69 degrees Celsius … with average temperatures reaching around 67 degrees Celsius. I think the WindForce Stack cooling system (with 3 x 100mm fans), along with the copper base plate is really helping here.
PassMark – Performance Test 8.0 (3D Test)
PassMark 3D performance test looks pretty normal. The GeForce GTX 1080 Ti is king here 🙂
