Quietest 970?

[HardwareGeek]

Looking to do as silent a build as poss and want to ask you guys which way to go 970 wise.

i know asus and msi have a fanless mode at idle, do any others? maybe evga?

Also worried about coil whine so looking at the galaxy infinity black but afaik this just has a single fan mode not fanless, how much noise does this make?

Aiming for a sub 10db build when idle ideally worse case sub 20db

Thanks

Thanks for the reply, is there any chance of a fanless mode (maybe by bios update?) on the infinity black then it would be absolutely perfect? would be silent at idle and no coil whine.

leaning towards msi just for the fanless mode but worried about risk of coil whine

System is on 24/7 and in a bedroom so looking to spec everything to be silent at idle, so far evga 1200 plat, shouldn't even spin up at idle maybe even during gaming, noctua s12b 6db fans and reuse an existing dh-14 but maybe change fans or reduce speed/fan profile etc

Ps. room is air conditioned so not too worried about temps

you can 'fake' the fanless idle mode in MSI afterburner by making a custom fan profile that keeps the fan at 0% for temps under your desired value

Just had a play with this on my 570 and it wont let me set the fan below 40% can you get it to set it to 0% / fanless?
