If it’s loud it’s the loud fan. If it’s not loud, well then, it’s not the loud fan..

You have quoter fan. Loud fan is actually very loud

If it sounds like a helicopter taking off it’s the delta fan. If you don’t notice it much it’s the Hioying(spelling?)

Whys it matter. What's it sound like? Mines almost dead silent.

What the most graohic intesenive game you've played?

Valheim. Barely runs on deck. I can hear it if I put it close to my face but otherwise it's pretty much completely silent no matter what I'm doing.

Cyberpunk makes the deck float into the ceiling

You might have the loud fan. If it does bother you I'd just pick up the ifixit replacement fan and swap them. I think you'd know for sure if you had the quiet one or not.

Funny to see this. On PC, Valheim makes my 3090 scream!

Yeah I normally play with mods on a 3080 ti but had made a deck solo world completely vanilla lowest settings with FSR on at like 560p and am getting 40fps with occasional drops into the low 30s. I could probably cap it at 30 and be fine.

Is it loud or is is quiet when hot?
Also theres 2 fan curves. The new one in enabled by default and the fan spins much slower most times. I set mine back to the og fan curve. Still nearly silent but the fan is absolutely spinning way faster (can feel the air coming out), and drops my temps by about 10c in most sits.

Louder when hot. How do you set fan curve on the deck?
1
In settings under system at the very bottom

I cant remember where exactly. Google will show ya though. UNder one of the settings menus though. New fan curve - set to off.

Is the fan going to be replaceable down the road? Noctua eventually even? Wife def can hear it while playing rdr2 in bed

Thats not good. Im trying to convince my wife that i dont need to be on the pc and i could be quiet on the couch

If it isn’t bothering you, why does it matter? Best way to know which fan is to simply open it.
