  The question is can I run Linux on it.

  Silence, at least under light load, is honestly such a nice feature.

    I bought my desktop at an auction for a self-driving car startup that was shutting down. Amazing specs, great price. It had two RTX 2080 Ti cards in there. Loudest GPU fan I’ve ever heard in my life. All the other fans in the computer are Noctua but I guess the Ti cards are strictly optimized for performance and not necessarily gaming. I got some nice speakers that are color-coordinated with the desktop but when I’m doing some serious gaming I have to use noise-cancelling headphones to tune out the sound of the GPU fan. Might get a different GPU at some point but it’s out of my fun budget right now.

      Do you have any use case for dual cards? Might trade them in for one newer, more efficient card.

      hated my 3060 ti because of the ridiculously loud fans. the lowest speed for the fans was 1600 rpm and at that speed it howled like a wolf. it would frequently turn them on even when idle as the temps went above 55.

      very happy with my new sapphire 9070 xt, it stays perfectly silent no matter what i throw at it.

  Most non-gaming laptops since 2010 don’t really make noticeable noise

      How can fanless intel macbook air make noise?

        Only the MacBook 12 was fanless from the Intel era, but I’m not too sure about that. Airs were never fanless while being Intel.

        They had fans in the Pro, nobody mentioned the Air specifically in this thread. The Air at that time had a crappy Y series Intel CPU in order to go fanless.

  Personally I’m fine with them taking the noise levels from the aerospace industry, too. My primary concern is how’s the battery life?

    well more noise usually means worse battery life.
