Quietest GPU manufacturer?

Hey guys, Caironc here! It seems that an issue I have with around half of my builds is that sometimes the gpu is a tad too lad for my liking, considering pretty much every PC I've made used a different GPU manufacturer I was wondering which one tends to make the best coolers? Thanks! (This can be either AMD or Nvidea)

Also, just a side question, generally are the MSI twinfrozer cards more or less quiet than a single card cooler?

amd and nvidea are both loud. its the after market groups that make it quiet personally i think asus make quieter coolers

Every generation is different. Right now the msi gaming cards are the most quiet ones.

That's odd. I built my buddy a 270x MSI Twinfrozer rig. It is a lot louder than most rigs I built...

Than it's not the gpu that makes the noise or you got a faulty card. They are really really quiet

My Sapphire 270 Dual X runs like a dream, she basically idles at 25C and on load, only goes up to 37C. When idle, the fans are basically inaudible, they can however get a bit loud when the fan goes past 2500RPM.

That's odd, I'll have to investigate next time I go to his house... But the general census is that MSI and Asus are currently making the quietest cards? (I have a near silent EVGA 670 FTW but that might just be a fluke.)

It's all about how warm you want your card to be compared to the noise. Any cooler can be quiet.

I'd say that EVGA ACX is one of the quietest.
