GPU Temperature
Without water cooling, KUDAN is not even reaching 70°C. Should you need lower temperature, you can decrease it by 10°C with radiator installed and 20°C with fans set to 100% (not recommended). 
Noise Levels
Sound meter was kept 50 cm away from the graphics card. The leftmost fan speed is minimal fan speed configurable in the software.
| FAN SPEED vs NOISE LEVEL | |||||||||
| AIR | 36 dB | 37 dB | 39 dB | 43 dB | 48 dB | 52 dB | 65 dB | 60 dB | 64 dB |
| Fan Speed | 25% | 30% | 40% | 50% | 60% | 70% | 80% | 90% | 100% |

Power Consumption
KUDAN needs a lot of power. The maximum TDP of 363W will result in 460W power consumption of the whole system. That’s almost the same as two GTX 1070s in SLI.
