If you compare both averages, you might be tempted to say : "Scenario 1 is quieter than Scenario 2". But with Scenario 1, you inner ear is permanently damaged. It would destroy a lot of the things I planed lookwise for my new build and atm there is nothing left then slight coilwhine you hear in the beginning and in the end of the video.Life span is not a big deal when you buy a good brand that follow the standard specifications for the pc parts. In the meantime, NVIDIA was kind enough to allow me to swap the RTX 3090 to see if it was doing something in combination with my rig. That's the average noise output, not the maximum noise output, and it's measured in dBA, which is an imperfect scale to measure noise (more on that later). Thanks for your comment/answer again and I will try out all the original cables over the Christmas period, because it will take some time to destroy my cable management and change it all. After taking apart my PC several times and trying to find the noise problem, trying to put the GPU horizontal again, trying different riser cables, different PSU cables and many other things,
