We take our noise measurements with the sound meter positioned 1 foot from the graphics card. I measured the noise floor to be 32 dBA, thus anything above this level can be attributed to the graphics cards. The power supply is passive for the entire power output range we tested all graphics cards in, while all CPU and system fans were disabled. A reading under load comes from running Cyberpunk 2077 for 30 minutes for 30 minutes.
Similarly, noise levels measured in at the same 34dBa output as we saw from the Founders Edition. In my testing, this was with the Twin X2 fans spinning at just 35%, or 1320rpm, making it almost inaudible under load. There was no audible coil whine on my sample either.
