GeForce GTX 1650 review – Benchmarks with an MSI GTX 1650 Gaming X (Update) | igorsLAB

There is a cleanly implemented fan stop, the fans run with approx. 950 rpm (start pulse). The threshold value for the connection is between 63 and 64 degrees, which is slightly above the maximum temperature, which can also be seen by the curves. However, there is no separate fan control with (if necessary) two different fan curves as with the GeForce RTX. The card remains quite quiet even in the closed housing with well below 1200 rpm.

In the stress test, the curves look very similar and in the closed housing the fans remain under 1250 rpm.

Let's look at the measured values again in direct comparison to the Founders Edition as a tabular listing:

MSI GeForce GTX 1660 Ti
Gaming X
Fan speeds Open Benchtable Maximum 1230 rpm (Gaming, Peak)
Fan speeds Open Benchtable Average 1105 rpm (warmed up)
Fan Speeds Closed Case Maximum 1192 rpm (Gaming, Peak)
Fan Speeds Closed Case Average 1178 rpm (warmed up)
Noise Emission (Air) Average 34.6 to 34.8 dB(A), Closed Case (Peak)
Fan stop
Fan stop
Sound characteristic / hearing impression noisy, very restrained, light engine noise
Coil-feathers/electric noises Audible at lower fan speeds.

Sound Spectrum

The measured 34.8 dB(A) are based on the measured almost 1200 rpm in the closed housing. I applied the same gaming load to the open set-up in the measuring room, but the fans were manually set to approx. 1200 rpm to be able to adjust this value exactly. The result is impressive, because you don't really hear much.

On the left we see the engine and bearing noises in the lower frequency range, on the far right the constantly high spikes of the voltage converters and in the middle the demolition noises of the air flow. This can be left to stand, because the sum is still almost inaudible.
