Your GPU fans aren’t going to operate in complete silence, especially when they’re blasting away the heat from running a AAA game in high-resolution at 4K. However, they shouldn’t sound louder than you’d expect on a GPU you’ve used regularly either. The higher the RPMs of the fans, the more noise they will make. Excessive noise, though, could indicate a problem that could even damage your graphics card if it isn’t addressed....
