Your noise scale is off. 60dB is restaurant conversation level noise.

For comparison, Notebookcheck's system noise scale is 30dB=silent, 40dB=audible, 50dB=loud.

Yup, sorry, my bad. 60 dB is definitely loud enough to be annoying. Still, 8 GPUs are not 8x louder than one, which was the main point.

That's not the point. 80 dB isn't twice as loud as 40 dB, either, it's much more than that.
