The fan stop shines through absence and the fans start immediately after switching on with approx. 1000 rpm (or just below). With a good 2250 rpm in the closed housing you can live quite well, especially since the cooling performance is quite good. You would even have slight reserves to adjust the fan curve slightly downwards (1900 to 2000 rpm), depending on your own housing and its cooling performance.
Let's look at the measured values again in direct comparison to the Founders Edition as a tabular listing:

Sound Spectrum
The measured 41.4 dB(A) is based on the measured 2255 rpm in the closed housing. We have applied the same gaming load to the open set-up in the measuring room, but the fans are limited to approx. fixed at 2500 rpm in order to be able to adjust this value exactly. The result is quite impressive, because the map is even a little bit quieter than the VU and still stays much cooler. As a compromise, this is not a bad solution.
You can hear the air noise already clearer and light motor or Storage noises are added, as our analysis beautifully illustrates the sound spectrum.
Once again, it can only be pointed out that the card is also perfect for water-cooled systems.
