Question Quieter cooler for RTX 2070 Super?

[ultrarunner100]

I did my current build in April 2020 - just before GPU prices went crazy. If I had known what was about to happen, I would have chosen a more powerful GPU. But my budget was limited, so I compromised with the RTX 2070 Super.
The rest of my system is:
AMD Ryzen 7 3700X (stock cooling) on Asus Tuf Gaming X570 Plus WiFi
32GB G. Skill Trident Z Neo DDR4 @ 3200MHz.
2ea WD Blue SN550 NVMe M.2 1TB SSD
Seasonic Focus GM-750
Case: Fractal Designs Meshify C (no glass)
4 case fans (2x 140mm front, 1x 120mm rear, 1x 120mm top) controlled by ASUS Q-Fan.

I have 3 monitors; the main one an ASUS Tuf Gaming VG27AQL1A @ 2560 x 1440 @ 60Hz but capable of running up to 144Hz.


My complaint is that the fans on the RTX 2070 Super are constantly revving up and down while playing games. The most intense games I play are MSFS 2020 and Tetris Effect. None of my other games cause the fans to spin up.
I have MSI Afterburner running, showing the following info while running MSFS 2020.

GPU: 1725 MHz
Mem: 7000MHz
Volt: 0V
Temp: 83C

I have Temp Limit set to 83c, and power limit set to 100%.
I am not overclocking anything at the time.

My thought is a more efficient (and quieter) fan system for the GPU, or possibly liquid cooling?
I am not looking to overclock; I am only looking for a quieter cooling system.

Any suggestions?

do you have a custom fan curve in place or just allowing it to do it's auto-tune?

I have been using automatic fan control.
I am going to install the Unigine benchmark and see what I can do with the fan curve.

nvidia has a shitty fan curve as someone who owned a 2060 super that would do the same i went into msi fan control and set it to

30 percent fan speed at at 28c for the gpu this keeps the fan on consistantly

60 percent fan speed at 55c

100 percent at 75c.

if you want to better cool it i would recomend getting better thermal pads like thermal pad minus 8.

with mx6 thermal paste


items for cleaning isopropyl alcohol and cotton swabs and a clean small glass shot glass ( that you wont use again)

clean the gpu die and ram chips ( if you intend to replace thermal pads these will have to replaced if they are damaged).

the gpu is also very fragile so do not apply pressure on the die this can damage it you want to just glid it over the chip and clean it while avoiding small contacts around the die as well.


for thermal pad thickness you will need to know your exact gpu as they aren't all the same and there may be a tear down review that includes the thickness if there isn't you'll need callipers and you'd be measuring from the uncompressed part of the pad.
