Is this card relatively quiet? Or does it spin up like a jet turbine?

I usually do not notice any fan noise. Once in a while you'll notice it briefly, then its right back to silent.

Well it does when you first start it but the driver controller kicks in and brings it down to an acceptable noise. I would not recommend it if you are doing a silent build and you should go for the msi twin frozr gaming series instead. My computer is so quite that i still think is turn off when i start it.

While gaming you can hear it, but its not loud like a jet turbine at 40%, 50% to 90% (max, sound like a turbine and dont recommend it. Blades gets some flex and might brake off. Blades was hitting my sound card on the soldered tips and it was loud "tatatata". I just wanted to hear how loud it gets and never doing it again) I use earbuds for gaming so i dont hear it and have my pc behind the monitor

Yes even on 50 %. Nvidia cards are typically quiet compared to AMD. I have two and I barely hear them half of the time. They do make my room heat up like a sauna.

It has a slider that allows you to change the fan speed. If the fan is at the slowest setting it is pretty quiet, if it is at max it's a loud hum. It's been awhile since I installed the card and have forgotten how much my temp lowered, but it was noticeable.

Not at all. This video card very quite. I have the corsair graphite series 600T. if the fan go up it produces a bit hiss noise but not high pitched so it is not annoying. the fans on my corsair h100i are actually much noiser. I have these cards in SLI. I would really recommend it its very quite and thermal management is really good. The titanium version just came out you might wanna check that one too. in terms of noise Nvidia is the winner.

I don't personally own the quiet edition, but at idle, they performance edition (I'm using 2x in push-pull) is inaudible. At max RPM, they are still much quieter than 2 Radeon 7970s in crossfire.

Pretty quiet. I have an i5 in mine with the standard intel cpu fan and that fan is louder than the one that comes in the case.

Yes, it super quiet at the low speed. At the highest speed, it is not super quiet. It is a great fan, however.

This is one of the quitest cards I have used. It makes virtually no noise at all.

Neither, the card runs fairly cool and actually, I hear far less noise than I used to. At first I did not think the card was booting it was so quiet :p note: I have not attempted overclocking or editing the fan speeds at all. Just out of the box usage.

Have had no issues with heat or noise , bought this card for my son's gaming ... he plays high res games and have had no issues with no noise and runs cool ... great gard! great and reliable so far ... had it about 6 months

The card does get very hot. You can increase the max fan speed to help cool it off. This will make the card louder but it's a trade off.

The card I received is passively cooled with a heatsink, so there is no fan.

I can not hear this card over the normal cooling fan of the computer. Yes it is quiet.

This is a dual fan style cooler. The fans blow air out the edges unlike the single direction reference card. This xfx card is considerably quieter than the reference design, also.

Yes my fans run at 80% all day and next to my MSI R9-270x I can barely hear these cards. Dust collecting on fan blades does add noise, just keep them clean.

Nope the card is VERY quiet but of course i have a water cooled system which is loud so you don't here it the fan idles at 26% and max fan is 55% and max temp that I have seen it hit is 62 degrees Celsius and that was under full load i recommend this card

Not noisy. Of course, it is a heavy duty, thus you will hear a humming from the air flow. Excellent fan.

Mine makes a little bit of of noise, but not too much. I believe it has an internal cooling fan, but I'm not 100% sure on that. Sorry, this probably not that much help.
