Power, Temperature and Noise

Here's an interesting side effect to pushing RTX 3060 Ti close to the 2GHz barrier. Power consumption begins to shoot up, with the Gaming X Trio pulling more than a stock RTX 3070.

No bother, the increase in thirst poses little challenge for that huge triple-fan cooler.

Appreciate a quiet graphics card? They don't come much more serene than this. MSI's fans are off at idle, they spin-up gently, and when gaming they tend to keep below 1,300RPM (less than 50 per cent), resulting in a smooth, gentle hum that's by no means distracting.
