Finally got rid of the loudest component in my PC: The original fans of my KFA 2070 Super (lemmy.world)

Went with the Arctic P12 Max because they are incredible for their price. Went with the white version because it has better bearings making it even more quite. Didnt care how it looked but it actually doesnt look bad at all imo

Edit: Got a reply from Arctic on Twitter. Apparently the new revision of the black P12 Max also use a fluid dynamic bearing (the better one). If you want to go with the black ones, always check the description I guess

I‘m not incredibly sure this is the exact card my wife has but she has a 20?0 SUPER as well and the fans are insanely loud. Especially when under strong load they go full bore and then pause in between. Drives me nuts. What was your reason to replaces them?

The noise. I use open back headphones and even though its possible to ignore the noise when you have in-game sounds, it still bothered me whenever there was a quite scene, or I didnt use my headphones and I just didnt like my room to sound like a jet engine in general. So yeah the noise is why I replaced them

Thanks for elaborating. Good luck with your build. :)
