I find this chart quite useful. The trouble with me is, my pc is completely silent, as in inaudiable. So I have to be-careful what final piece of the jigsaw I go with! lol

Your PC is probably like mine then, no power LED, no RGB, if you didn't look at the side panel to see the RTX logo dimly lit up then you'd think the PC was off 
I said it before but my monitor makes more noise than my PC lol.

Not even a window on mine!

Arguably a thick window will absorb more noise due to density than a thin metal side panel though! My whole side panel is one piece of glass and very heavy, actually both side panels are (Corsair 5000D

I'm using the Fractal North, so the only RGB is the light switch, that is a really dim orange line, that matches the gold IO buttons. Love it

I've gone with another TUF 4090 for £1520. Worst case it whines on the very odd game (RDR2), but blissful silence for all the rest.
The journey is over! lol.

Good luck, my TUF was *awful* !!!
Soldato
Thanks my friend, your words grant me great comfort during this difficult time.
My last one was usually silent apart from RDR2. It didn't clock too high so I thought I'd have a roll of the dice!
Edit; Was yours near launch? ASUS says they are using quieter capacitors these days.

People out here overclocking their 4090s, a card that even at stock cannot be beaten

Yup, launch day.

Yes they are needed with these latest cards, even with the FEs now whereas on 30 series the FE got away with it due to the smaller coolers whereas the 40 series coolers are much larger for the 4080/90 across the board.
You don't need fan mounts, the brackets are siple telescopic stands that are magnetic and sit on your case floor.
The cards come with them too now.

Some AIB cards might come with fan mount brackets to hold the card, free standing poles though as the most efficient and logical method as they work universally.

The free standing ones fragile or the fan mount ones?
