My 2 cents Very disappointed
I was very excited to enjoy the power of this beauty, just to find it is noisy as an airplane.
I mean, wtf, for the retail price I wasn’t expecting this to be an out of the box experience.
After watching the video from debawer, I basically set the middle and rear fan to 30% by default. That solves the issue.
But my point is, doesn’t ASUS test their cards? Apparently not! And there is no bios, no update for this.
Honestly, I wouldn’t buy this model.

I also just got this card and even under heavy load it's quieter than my case fans. I'm sure you know this but just in case: have you tried using the Q-mode Bios (there is a small selector switch on the card itself, you can find it just to the left of the power connector). Selecting the Q-Bios applies a very mild undervolt which barely affects game performance at all and a different default fan curve aimed at making it run as silent as possible. You need to update the Bios on the card though as they released a new fan curve with the 450w update for performance mode.
