I don't find it noisy really. The cooler has a nice whoosh tone rather than a whine.
I'm using a 1:1 fan and it rarely goes over 73 degrees.

I can hear it obviously but for a ref fan i think it's pretty damn good for noise, it's not like my 980 ti classified was silent under load. I don't sit next to my pc though. The noise the fan makes is also quite a pleasant tone of sound to me as well. I guess noise is subjective and dependant on type of case and where your pc is situated. For me though i'm really pleased with the ref card compared to previous ones i've had.

Last reference card that had a cooler this good was the GTX690.

I find the noise very bearable - inaudible up to 50-60% and even then it's not annoying.

I'm very sensitive to PC noise too, so it's a pleasant surprise.

All 3 cards are good for now that nVidia have virtually disowned more than 2

Same. Have mine set to 75% max and can barely hear it (Define S is a bit sound-proofed though and on the floor )

Overall, VERY happy with the FE

(feels like absolute quality in the hand too!)

Yeah, I'm using the BeQuiet Silent Base 800 and that's good for sound proofing too... but the T-X was definitely audible in this case - let alone 2 of them!

Hey G1 Owners,

Can the Fan Stop light be controlled independently of the Gigabyte logo? Can all theb lights be turned off?

Thanks

Like Le Chiffre?

Founders edition getting 1820MHz constant boost

Congrats everyone on their lovely cards...I'm very tempted to buy the 1080 EVGA Hybrid while I can still get £300 for my old one but going to try and see what AMD have to offer and wait for HBM Pascal and Vega before my next upgrade cycle...

Can still play all games at 1440p perfectly fine and hoping to upgrade to 1.4 DP 4K in the next 12 months or so...no point upgrading my card until there are monitors available for it...right...Who am I kidding...I'll crack in the next few weeks I'm sure

I'm sure some people may like the look of it, but that gigabyte extreme water cooled gpu personally, looks ugly as hell...

Still waiting, not in a rush to upgrade. I hear the fat Pascal is arrving sooner than expected.

Maybe the Milking Edition but not the Ti

There's no competition, no need for a Titan or Ti.

Nvidia can't even keep up with 1080s.

This. If full fat pascal did arrive early I would expect to see with current shortages and prices that it would be at least £1200, maybe £1500

For the FE owners, how does the fan perform out of the box? Is the throttling a problem when you leave the fan at stock settings? What software are you using to change fan speeds.
