We have built a system inside a Lian Li chassis with no case fans and have used a fanless cooler on our CPU. The motherboard is also passively cooled. This gives us a build with almost completely passive cooling and it means we can measure noise of just the graphics card inside the system when we run looped 3dMark tests.
We measure from a distance of around 1 meter from the closed chassis and 4 foot from the ground to mirror a real world situation. Ambient noise in the room measures close to the limits of our sound meter at 28dBa. Why do this? Well this means we can eliminate secondary noise pollution in the test room and concentrate on only the video card. It also brings us slightly closer to industry standards, such as DIN 45635.

The MSI GTX 1080 Gaming X 8G is a very quiet card, even under load conditions – with the default fan profile. In most systems it will be barely audible with other system fans in the mix. We can report our sample exhibited no coil whine, even under artificially stressed conditions.

I see you guys didn’t use the new nvidia SLI $40 HB Bridge. The results would have been better to see. It was shown on some benches at lower res that an HB bridge produced lower FPS than the soft bridge. It was also shown that the HB bridge produced Higher FPS than the soft bridge at 4k/5k res.
