So ive chucked the Fan that came with the Gpu out the window, it was to loud for my liking, ive set-up a push pull on the rad using EK varder F3ER and attached to my motherboard via PWM controlled with speedFan 4.51 and my system is near silent, been testing all day with different fan settings through speedfan and i cant get it lower than 22/23 so that must be the mean temp off the card, and in valley at load im seeing 42/44 , my fans set to 55% at over 40 degrees, had a quick go at BF4 which was the same 44 at 62% fan speed, i have a very slight coil whine but it comes and goes and nothing to serious, ive had alot worse and this is nothing, super impressed with this card. All i say is ditch the fan it comes with and get something decent, and get it controlled with speedfan or your bios.
