okay guys it's time for my totally scientific approach to Fan noise testing
so I'm going to be taking the GTX 580
the GTX 480 as well as the current ruler
of the roof on the AMD side the radon HD
5870 I'm going to hold the camera really close to the fan so you can hear
approximately how loud it is and we will
do our evaluations based on that I'm going to make it life a little bit easier for you guys this time though and
I'm actually going to cut together all of the fan noises so that you can do an
easy uh side by side comparison so right now we've got the GTX 580
idling and let's get in nice and close and listen so we're going to do our idle
noise comparison and then I'm going to follow up with a load noise comparison
for the load noise test we're going to use firmar so here is the GTX 580
followed by all of the other cards
