"Fan noise output is not impressive. While cards made by competitors completely stop their fans in idle and light gaming, the Gigabyte card will only slow them down to a very quiet spin. During gaming, the fans become quite noisy, which definitely makes them audible—something I consider completely unacceptable for a GTX 980 card almost every other vendor managed to silence successfully." http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/Gigabyte/GeForce_GTX_980_G1_Gaming/26.html
