Went from FE to Strix, because I wanted something more quieter and this is what I got

The fans are practically inaudible at 40%. The stock fan curve is damn near as quiet as you're going to get. Your expectations are misplaced in general.

Worth pointing out testing shows that at the 40dB level, the Strix runs cooler than the MSI card.

My personal experience, experiences of others and my videos clearly shows otherwise. MSI cards are far more silent at any fan speed.

That's the thing, my MSI card never reaches 40 db.

Both cards are capable of reaching that noise level, just not without user intervention. If you're judging things by how loud the fans operate at 100%, then you're not thinking this through properly.

Who the hell of comparing them at 100% fan speed?! The second video was made purely as evidence that the annoying howling was there on all speeds.

Have you measured the noise levels? Perhaps you can show some data against the MSI card. These things are subjective, but the Strix is anything but loud in my opinion.

Check the first video in my OP and the last video few posts back.

It would be useful to see at that noise level what your gpu temperature and clock sensors should display. Because I can show a gpu ramping up at any speed without telling you anything more, and rightfully you would suggest me that my video is just clueless.

If you could give us more data about that specific loudness that you're concerning with, we'll manage to help you out better, or at least to clarify a bit.
