There is a cleanly implemented fan stop, the fans run with approx. 1150 rpm (start pulse). The threshold value for the connection is between 62 and 63 degrees, i.e. just below 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 very quiet even in the closed housing with less than 1150 rpm. In the stress test, the curves look very similar. So you could have used slightly higher speeds for more intensive cooling without getting really loud.
Let's look at the measured values again in direct comparison to the Founders Edition as a tabular listing:
| MSI GeForce GTX 1660 Super Gaming X |
|
|---|---|
| Fan Speeds Closed Case Maximum | 1116 rpm (Gaming, Peak) |
| Fan Speeds Closed Case Average | 1109 rpm (warmed up) |
| Noise Emission (Air) Average | 32.3 to 32.5 dB(A), Closed Case (Peak) |
| Fan stop |

| Sound characteristic / hearing impression | noisy, restrained, light engine noise |
| Coil-feathers/electric noises | Audible at lower fan speeds. |
Sound Spectrum
The measured 32.4 dB(A) are very low to the 36.1 dB(A) of the already tested Ti variant and are based on the measured plentiful 1100 rpm in the closed housing. We have applied the same gaming load to the open set-up in the measuring room, but the fans are limited to approx. 1100 rpm to be able to adjust this value exactly. The result is impressive, because there is almost nothing audible here!
