Truly quiet PC case exist?

[pax]

Some mufflers are pretty small. I was looking at one for the UTV recently, but they would still be long enough to bother. Unless you could build inside the case for a ways. Looking at my case it could go inside of it by about 4-5" dpeending on the cooler. Put in another 4-5" poking out the back or 2-3" with a 90 degree upswing it would be enough for some baffles and fiberglass. Id skip that last but itd still be a dust magnet yea...

Almost done the front on the case here I might look into this just for kicks.

And when you finally have that, then you are at the mercy of coil whine/electronic noise.

only thing i ever had coil whine on was on a ATI 4890 reference card and i RMA that and stopped buying reference cards

Tell that to my 3090 that roared under my desk.

The 3090 draws 360~425 watts.
The 3080 draws 320~400 watts.

You have to dissipate that heat somehow. Because of the higher heat and wattage the 3080's and 3090's are actually louder than the 1080's.

1080's were 57db.

3080 FE's are 59.7db.




Sound is sound. 3 fans blowing vs 1 blower doesn't really matter with sound levels. The 3 fans are louder than the blower.

1080 ti Strix was 33 dBA and the 2080 ti Strix was 37 dBA
