Hi

About to splash out on a 4070 ti. The Zotac looks like the best fit for me (case size wise) but curious to know what the fan noise is like and whether there is any noticable coil whine on this card?
Anyone got one and care to share their experience with this card? I currently have a Gigabyte 3060 ti aorus master which has noisy fans and very loud coil whine.

Which version is this? Trinity or Amp extreme?
 
Fan noise is kind of subjective, but according to TPU's review of the AMP Extreme, on the quiet BIOS, MSI's Suprim, Asus TUF, MSI's Gaming X, PNY and Palit cards are all quieter and in noise-normalised testing, only the Gaming X and Gigabyte Gaming OC performed worse.

Virtually all GeForce RTX 4070 Ti custom-design models are triple-slot and the Zotac AMP Extreme is no exception. The card offers good cooling performance at low temperatures. Even under full load we measured only 66°C. Unfortunately the default BIOS runs the fans at pretty high speeds, which makes the card the loudest RTX 4070 Ti that we've tested (out of six cards). This can be fixed easily by switching to the quiet BIOS, which reduces the fan speeds considerably. Now the card runs at 33 dBA, which is much quieter and comparable to other RTX 4070 Ti models, even though some of those are still much quieter, whisper quiet even. With the "quiet" BIOS, temperatures are barely increased, by 3°C, from 66°C to 69°C—nothing worth mentioning. That's why I recommend you always use the quiet BIOS, it's just quieter, there's no performance loss. Our apples-to-apples cooler comparison test reveals that Zotac's thermal solution is a little bit weaker than some competing cards, but the differences are quite small. As expected from all modern graphics cards, all GeForce RTX 4070 Ti models come with the idle-fan-stop capability that shuts off the fans when not gaming.

I was going to buy Zotac 4070ti until reading reviews, Zotac have a good warranty but their cards run at higher temps and they are too noisy.

Even their flagship model AMP Extreme is disappointing. Plus its the biggest card of the lot , 35.5cm length
