Enjoy the silence, who doesn't remember that song from the 80'ties. Join us as we evaluate a GeForce RTX 3070 Noctua OC variant, which has been introduced onto the market recently. You can argue its looks and design, but the card does deliver as expected, it's very silent.

Yeah same but my 1070 started running hotter and hotter over the last 6 months. It is 5 years old since I got it the first week they came out. Its running a little over 10c cooler now but that is with new thermal pads too.

yah my gpu does seem to idle hotter these days and idle mean fans are not running use to be in low~mid 30c now more around 40c~mid 40 idle, full load is still around 70c maybe add 2 or 3 to that if it been keeping that for hour or more.

Last time last time i went digging around in my pc case and resat my gpu i had error code and after i restat it 2nd time it boot up fine, time before that I was have boot up issues and when went inside to resit the ram system had melt down and bios went corrupted had reflash that, had bunch error codes siting ram/cpu error after that refuse to booting up I finaly go to boot after a few more resiting of ram, it end i had rma my ram to fix all that, it been find since. So dont really want go messing on inside. seem ever time i getting around on inside something goes.

hell for good year or 2 my system would freeze every time I would open front panel on my R5 case to clean out the fan filters, soon as I would close panel it would freeze lock the system. has not done in few years now. I think the gnomes went back to sleep :rolleyes:

System has to live for 2 or more years maybe by then the current crazy will die down and gpu will once again be 150watt give or take for mid to highend

The quietest card with the loudest coil whine. I had 3 pieces. Each one had tragic squeaks. Changing the power supply did not help. In the meshify2 case it can be heard from 4-5 meters. When I put the MSI RTX in, I have to put my head in the case to hear something.They all squealed so much that only lowering the voltage to 0.800 - 0.825V resulted in all 3 units.
A friend also bought one. Exactly the same as with me.
