 Okay, so I already did a video on the worst-case scenario acoustics of the GTX 480 so I've got this PNY card here And I thought I'd do sort of a more more like a realistic video so first of all you should check out the other video It's on my channel Linus Tech Tips, and so here. I'll put the camera close, and I'll let you listen So that's what the Fermi sounds like when I'm running ATI tool which I realize is a very very old synthetic benchmark Okay, it's running at 2,000 frames per second and here are my EVGA precision settings So you can see that at stock speeds under load the GPU runs at about 72 degrees and fan speeds about 68% now something you should note is that I'm in quite a chilly room and that this is an open test bench, so you put the Fermi in a case add five degrees at least and You know you warm up your room to the point where you can actually sit in it without three sweaters And you're probably looking at another two to three degrees So I'd expect this to be running more like 80 degrees or the fan speed to actually be running a little bit higher So you can see I'm actually going to go ahead and cover up the fit the intake fan of the Fermi here Alright, so I'm gonna put this on there And I want you to listen to what happens as soon as the temperature goes up to what I expect would be about 80 degrees And I want you to listen to what happens to the fan speed as soon as we get to that kind of a temperature Also, please note the GPU usage is around 75 to 80 percent for this particular benchmark I'm gonna run a game in a little bit, but I just wanted to Show you this for the sake of seeing it. Okay, so here have a listen now that it's reached 80 degrees So it's easily the loudest thing in the system, but not unbearably horrible personally I'm a I'm a water cooler, so I'm not into a whole lot of fan noise So I'd be putting a full cover block on this thing. I'd recommend you do the same, but there you have it That's what the Fermi sounds like at about 80 degrees just running ATI tool with about 80% GPU usage
