Hi.
My question is noise related. Before this card I owned an Asus GTX 670 DCuII and it was sublime, very, very quiet at idle and under load. The Gigabyte GTX 780 Ghz is by no means loud, inaudible when idling actually. I'm not sure, hence the question, but when gaming and the fans ramp up to about 50-60%, I found the middle fan to make quite a racket when compared to the other two, I stopped it with my finger and the difference is huge. I understand that the noise from three fans will be more than the noise from two fans, but when I stopped the outer fans the difference was much smaller. Could any of you, who own this card, confirm if this is normal, because I'm thinking about RMA. I know I'm a noise freak!
Would the Asus GTX 780 be quieter?!
Thanks!
