We take our noise measurements with the sound meter positioned 1 foot from the graphics card. I measured the noise floor to be 32 dBA, thus anything above this level can be attributed to the graphics cards. The power supply is passive for the entire power output range we tested all graphics cards in, while all CPU and system fans were disabled. A reading under load comes from running Cyberpunk 2077 for 30 minutes for 30 minutes.

Of course, given the Gaming OC offers dual-BIOS functionality, you can choose between the OC or Silent modes. The former is a bit louder, with the fans running at 1650rpm, and while the Silent BIOS isn't quite silent, it is a good chunk quieter, running the fans at 1360rpm in my testing.
