Actually it is quite a bit louder. But that's not because it's not Nvidia but because tests have shown it.

The stock cooler is already quieter in both desktop and performance tests. The custom designs are a lot quieter than even that.

That's air cooled versus the stock water cooler on the 295X2. As far as I know there aren't any quieter custom designs for it.
If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.
