Of notice is that the GPU was 99% loaded during the benchmark and yet the fan on the card never exceeded 57% fan speed, meaning it was never louder than my case fans.

And, I didn’t have to up the core voltage a single bit and there was no artefacts whatsoever. It seems I got me an overclocking beast
