Great that you mentioned this. I remembered not ever bothering with the noise my Radeon 4890 generated over the sound of my headphone or my ceiling fan. R9 290x's noise is probably a non-issue for me, not that I'll buy anything from this gen, though.

That said, I don't mine/fold/etc while I sleep, so they all stay in sweet idle.
