Question Zotac Rtx 3060ti fan noise

[Usman Anwar]

a retailer in my locality is offering the simple & OC edition cards at 544 & 560$ price point. my main concern is the fan noise level. I've read that these Zotac GPUs are too loud. what should i do?
any suggestions ?!

Sadly, there isn't a way around for this since Zotac for some odd reason excluded fan stop from its edition. The foundation edition and all other editions of 3060 have fan stop so unless they're pushed too high or if remain within the idle temperature, they don't make any noise since the fan stops. With Zotac, the fans keep on running at 30 dBA no matter what. Under extreme gaming, they often get down to 42 dBA noise levels.

What about the OC edition?
What is the noise level of this card?

Well since those have fan stop integrated within, you'll probably stay unnoticed of any noise coming at idle situations. During those rugged gaming sessions, the highest I've actually gone so far is 39dBA.

Thats still high. Almost the same as the non-OC version

I m a little constrained on the budget so i m talking about the 3060. Otherwise 3070 is also available but it's like 800$

Yeah, but that's only there in the extreme cases! For normal computing, you wouldn't hear almost anything.

I m concerned with extreme cases because i'll use it for prolong hours of gaming
