Topic: Which is more silent: 1 or 2 fan (GTX 10xx / RX 4/5xx)? (Read 309 times)
2 fan designs are the quietest. Check out Palit/Msi cards or Sapphire Nitro (but this cards have got melting thermal pads, so be aware). One more thing worth mentioning - more fan doesn't mean quieter operation, look at Strix version. It has worse temps and produces louder noise because 3 fans creates more turbulence.
I wonder which version (1 fan or 2 fan) of GTX 10xx / RX 4/5xx is more silent when mining at most optimal kH/kW setting (that is not at full load)?
depend on the brand not on amd or nvdia, but the brand with dual fan are more silent like palit, instead the one like gigabyte or asus are louder and i don't like them much

If by 1 fan you mean blower, blower is definitively the loudest. I don't know other's experience but in hundreds of cards i've touched, bigger/better heatsink with more fan is quieter because of better dissipation, you can lower the fan speed for the same cooling as a noisy blower. I.E. 100% on Nitro cards is still quieter than 60% blower, but i only need my nitro cards at 40% for the same temperature as 60% blower.

I have both versions of GTX 1060, with 1 ,2 and even 3 fans and I can say without the slightest doubt the more silent is the one with 1 Fan from the Palit brand, Gigabyte and ZOTAC are some really loud ones compared with Palit. Get the mini ITX versions, they are cheaper and a better option for mining in general.
