the strix card has its fans off until the gpu temp gets to a certain temp

Exactly thats why they are quitesttest

I presume that they're talking about the 0db fan mode when it's idle. Well, it is quiet but the cooling is kinda subpar when you compare it to other brands like Sapphire and MSI.

Sapphire's cards are dead silent at idle, from what I've seen. Some cards turn off their fans at idle so they make no noise whatsoever, they just quietly get warm.

Sapphire made a 250(X?) that had a full-passive cooler, a big ol' heatsink that wrapped partway around the card which kept it perfectly cool.

the service usually goes through your seller, like newegg or amazon (for example: hdd was dead, contacted WD, they said i should contact my seller and i got a replacement from my seller)

[UnlimitedTMD]

I would go Sapphire, than MSI

Noise problem solved.

i am interested in this as well. My evga 4gb gtx 760 is a jet engine at full load. It is fine at idle

Haha current card can penetrate the mufflers!

Well the Strix cooler is silent at idle, or during light usage.

 

But I find the fan curve is tuned completely wrong on my 980. The fans spin up way too late (once the gpu reaches 65 degrees). I setup a custom fan curve in MSI afterburner to keep the temps in check. And here's the kicker, with a custom fan curve the minimum speed you can set is 40%.

 

So if you want silent at idle, and decent temps when gaming, you'll probably have to switch between custom and default fan curves. Kinda annoying.
