I have to go by memory right now: IIRC AfterBurner read around 1000rpm.

Well then we have different thresholds. My Sapphire 7950 is right around there at idle - GPU-Z reports about 1100 rpm at idle and I find it decent but not quiet enough.quest_for_silence wrote:Bar81 wrote:What rpm are the fans at idle?

Sorry, I have not understood: thresholds of what?Bar81 wrote:Well then we have different thresholds.
Different thresholds as to what constitutes acceptably quiet.Bar81 wrote:Well then we have different thresholds.

Yes, it's called listening. What is quiet to the ears of one person is not necessarily quiet to the ears of another person.quest_for_silence wrote:Bar81 wrote:Different thresholds as to what constitutes acceptably quiet.
Indeed: there are thresholds you can appreciate on paper, and others which can be appreciated through the air.

First, let's get the facts straight. I know what a pair of 92mm fans rotating at 1,100 rpm sounds like since I have a Sapphire 7950 OC, a card with the exact same cooling set up as the Asus.quest_for_silence wrote:Bar81 wrote:Yes, it's called listening..
Indeed: but you are able to know how loud a cooler *is* immediately, without having never listen to it, just by reading some data about rpm.
