80% of fan for 65 degres ? What was the game ?

usually on low demanding games:
all games run on all settings ultra @ 2560x1440 @ 144hz refresh
 
-dota 2 fans around 70-80% fan, 60~65 degrees.
-street fighter 4 and 5 same as above
-starcraft 2 same as above
 
now for more demanding games:
 
-overwatch = fans at 100% (extremelly loud) 69 degrees constant
-cod infinite warfare = same as above, but temp seems to rise slightly to 70~72
-battefield 1 same as cod
-mafia 3 same

just did bios update on my card yesterday.
 
temps down from 80 to 65~69. i'm happy with this.
 
however............
 
holy smokes is it LOUD???????
 
it is significantly loud at the moment, up to the point that it's actually pissing me off.
 
reminds me of my old R9 fury, straight up jet engine on takeoff.
 
needless to say, i am VASTLY dissapointed.
 
yes they fixed the temp problem, but the decibel levels of the fans are ridiculous.
 
i've spent over $150 on fans to both cool and be QUIET at the same time. that's 6 x noctua nf-a14 fans at $25 a pop. But it all went down the drain since the gpu is generating an insane amount of noise when fans go above 80% (which is 100% of the time while gaming)

Are you using afterburner or precision x?

precision xoc for a 2050mhz oc.
 
but even if i don't oc at all, the fans still go as loud as if i'm oc'ing.
 
the temps do drop about 3-5 degrees when not ocing, but the fans still spin very loud

Turn precision off. The bios is set to run fan speeds approximately 10-15% higher than it was previously. Using precision and setting it so high is a user setting. You can also turn the fans down a little. If you were using an aggresive fan curve, the bios doesnt change much other than adding a chance for a higher fan speed. You just need adequate airflow, not turbines.

I for one do not do "normal gaming"
 
Fallout 4 at max with Mods and GTA 5 online max as well.
 
I did not buy my card not to use it or to have it loud when I could have spent 10 bucks more for MSI
 
Hopefully the RMA'd card will not have the problems people are talking about or I will be very sad and feel burned.

The RMA´ed card will use the same BIOS.

Would it not be possible to finally put some more specific data into the main thread?
We have heard 2200rpm, 2000rpm, 200-500 rpms more, 10-15% more. This all does not match at all. My 1080 ACX 3.0 (non SC) runs Heaven at around 1300 rpm, going to 1450 rpm would be fine, going to 1500 rpm is fine, going to 1700 rpm is clealry more audible than before, going to 2000rpm is unacceptable.

i supposed i could do that.
 
but then, what was the point of me spending $649 for a card i cannot use to it's FULLEST potential?
 
one of the main attrractions of a custom cooler, is to squeeze a tiny bit more performance out of it.
 
by the way, i did turn off precision xoc comepletelly while defaulting the speed prior to removing precision xoc.
 
still LOUD as hell.
 

Adjust the fan curve to meet your sound /  cooling requirements.  That is what it is there for.

acceptable sound levels means that i have to get the temps into the 80's.
 
i posted this as soon as i bought the card, since it was strange that the card would operate at such high temps:
