Temperature
It was only expected that temperatures would be high for a passively cooled graphics card and despite Gigabyte's efforts, it was the case with the Gigabyte GV-NX96T512HP. The GPU especially was rather high, hitting 80 degrees when running our temperature test. Since it's also an overclocked GeForce 9600 GT, such a temperature reading is probably par for the course.
Overclocking
So how does the Gigabyte fare in overclocking, given its probable 'handicap' of having a passive cooler? Well, it certainly had the worst overclocking performance compared to the others, finishing at 770MHz for the core and 2060MHz DDR for the memory. Nevertheless, this is still a decent improvement over the reference clocks.
