this is what i was saying Gigabyte GV-R485MC-1GI Graphics Card Review: Silent Predator. Page 4 - X-bit labs
The GPU temperature is no higher than 86°C under load, which is the same as you can get with the reference single-slot cooler, but at zero noise. That’s a very nice result considering the core’s heat dissipation of 110W. When we tried to overclock the card, it quickly reached a GPU temperature of 101°C and the system hung up. That’s all we could achieve after a few attempts at overclocking:
This is no wonder considering the lack of a fan and that the power transistors and the memory chips are not cooled at all.
The growth of the GPU and memory frequencies is too modest, so we did not test the card in that mode. The GV-R485MC-1GI is obviously not the kind of a product that might interest an overclocker unless you add fans to it. It is not quite clear why the developer equipped it with such advanced overclocking options including software-based control over the GPU and memory voltages. This product has a special feature anyway. It is silent and supports different display devices and also offers rather high performance in games.
