I glad noise is something that never really bothered me. Compare to the days I use to air cool my CPU with a Vantec 92mm Tornado fan my computer is quiet. I actually did not even have a fan controller on it until I moved to college and got one in order to not drive my dormmate insane.

Probably the loudest thing in my current computer is the coil wine my 3090 make every time I load into a game. Once I start playing I don't really notice it and I just don't care enough to attempt to RMA it and hope I get a replacement this decade so I just keeping it.

I also got clicking from my flow meter, eventually I just replace it with a digital one but again it just become white noise for me so not motivated to do it.

The 20 fans I use actually not that noisy with how I got fan curve setup. unless the water temp get really hot which don't seem to happen even during long gaming sessions. If I manually set all the fans too 100% then it really really loud but other then if I trying to push a benchmark which not something I do it really no reason to ever set the fans at that level.

As long as the noise constant and not randomly going in and out (like having one broken fan that randomly rattle would drive me crazy so I would replace that quick) it just become white noise for me so it got to be really loud to bother me.

20 fans? Assuming you use them in a push-pull configuration, how many radiators do you have? A 240/280 plus a 360 radiators one would need 10 fans max, add a couple more as intake and exhaust, and that still doesn't make 20.

I have no reason to believe the situation has changed significantly, so I'm going to assume there are GPUs as loud as my GTX 970. It sounds like a vibrator (and not a quiet one, I would assume), and it has caused more than one debate with my significant other... On the other hand, my PS4 slim feels extremely quiet compared to this. The original fat PS4 was in another league though... But currently, the loudest piece of gaming equipment here is my GTX 970, and it will make me pay attention to noise levels when I'm getting as new one (which is as soon as GTX 3060 actually hits the market at a decent price). I don't personally even mind a bit of noise, but even I find this somewhat annoying.

You're not fooling anyone, mate. The cat is out and now we know it! XD

Oh, you got me!
