Fan speeds in temperature progression

And the marmot greets forever: AMD's fuzzy logic for fan control doesn't have to be understood, but by and large the gigabyte has solved quite elegantly. The GeForce comes with the usual start-stop hysteresis and behaves rather moderately. However, the gigabyte card requires fan speeds far beyond the 1900 rpm, which you really hear. But up to 85°C on the GPU aren't really helpful and need to be cooled.

In pure numbers, this looks like this

Noise emission ("volume")

The plentiful 40 dB(A) under full load in the closed housing are then the result of the weak heatpipes and the missing, real heatsink. The cooler itself is not even bad, as the VRM temperatures prove. Unfortunately, a GPU that is far too hot compared to other cards also means more noise in the case. Too bad, but not to change. It's not deaf yet, but it's not really nice either.
