All this talk of coil whine and fan grinding, try having tinnitus like me, you won't hear a thing

Who has the quietest fans?
I've went with MSI after trying to find out and couldn't find a whole lot of info, nobody else seems to know.

MSI is 100mm and dual ball bearing fans.
I don't know if anyone else uses bigger fans or a better type of bearing.
Doesn't seem like anyone goes full Noctua and uses an SSO bearing.

I just want silence and quality, and to stop having bad luck.
Had an EVGA 650 P2 fan fail after 15 days and my Gigabyte 1070 WindForce OC is being RMA'd because its fans grind and it can't even break 2000mhz core.

If my MSI Gaming 1070 8G has ridiculous coil whine or dysfunctional fans I'm going to have a mental breakdown, throw my PC out the window, change names move countries and start over with my life and PC.

No point in having all Noctua case fans if I keep getting broken loud garbage that is way louder than them.

Well i hope this can give you a bit of piece of mind but my MSI 1070 ARMOR OC which lets face it is using the cheapest non blower cooler they have are doing fine in temps(72c OCed to 2025), noise and has no coil whine. Also my sample breaks the 2ghz barrier.

I've seen some good results from the Armor MSI cards around the internet. Tbh I don't think there is a lot in it, they'll all play games very well, I'm sure most of us wouldn't notice if we didn't know what was in the case.

Palit Jetstream/GameRock/Gainward Golden Sample have super low spinning fans and can spin as low as 900-1100 rpm during gaming load with a chunky 2.5 slot cooler.

You still won't find much quieter than the Gaming X though, you will be lucky to hear it spinning and not likely to go over 1300rpm when gaming. Fingers crossed you don't get any coil whine, although I've never had that with MSI cards.

Ive gone for the palit for that reason. Fans turn off during normal use/low load for a quiet system. My EVGA 970 did that and it makes hell of a difference

Well fair play, the Palit Jetstream is a beast. The card is massive and amazingly quiet, even when gaming. So far so good

I had a quick look at the card and couldn't see a manufacturer. How would I check?

Oh ok did it just come in a plain box then?

last time i bought OCUK value i got zotac and a friend got asus i just figured they put the value deals out there to control stock levels, probably wrong.

nvm thanks for replying

forgot to say you can check in gpu-z i think it should show card make in the "subvendor" box, if u have gpu-z installed that is no worries if not.

Glad you're happy with the Jetstream

is it the normal one nor Super? How well does it over clock?

I'm struggling to understand why anyone would have bought the Founders Edition. Would someone be kind enough to explain ?

Some prefer blower coolers, so that almost no heat is dumped into your case. It enables smaller form factor cases, plus requires less case fans.

Some also like the look of the founders edition (reference card). I quite like it, mostly all metal construction feels quality and the geforce lego is pretty nice.

I'm not fooled by looks, that's why I chose a Palit Gamerock Premium.

Unless you really have to have a small PC, why would you pay more for a blower cooler, when you could buy a better card for less, and use the money saved for a larger case ?

why not....

I put my 1080 FE into my WC loop and its maxed out on the voltage and overclock and never goes above 45c even after hours of gaming

and its silent.

I bought a 1070 founders to go in a tiny 250d case for a 4K HTPC for my living room, I wanted to put a nice zotac or msi in there but they just wont fit :confused:

when i tried my 1080 FE thats in my main rig with the reference blower before i put the water block on i thought it was easily the quietest refrence cooler i had heard yet not a problem at all.

no where near as loud as the old 7 and 9 series ref coolers they were bad but these new FE's are a big improvement and feel much better quality looks aside....
