No graphics card review is complete without evaluating its temperatures and thermal load. Both graphics cards that I tested are using advanced custom cooling solutions that come with silent and performance profiles. The cards were tested with the performance profile to see their full potential. The GALAX GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER EX OC features a dual-slot and dual fan design in a compact form factor which is pretty standard of mainstream tier graphics cards.

Note – We tested load with Kombuster which is known as a ‘power virus’ and can permanently damage the hardware. Use such software at your own risk!
