Quiet 680 with nvidia blower fan. Are they all the same?

I'm looking for a relatively quiet 680 gtx video card with the default nvidia cooling (blower fan). I'm only interested by the noise they produce at idle. My question is, are they all the same, meaning it doesn't matter what brand i'll choose as long as it has the blower cooler designed by nvidia? They look the same to me, only with different sticker on the front. I'm not sure if the RPM @idle differs, though. Maybe different bios settings for RPM, depending on the card maker? And if so, can they be modified by the user?

Thanks.
