AMD rush the Radeon VII then the 5700. All manufacturer go with stock cooler meaning AMD is very behind Nvidia. At this point, I don't think they can compete on the high ends for at least another decade. RIP useless 7nm.

W1zz measured 36W for multi-monitor, which is abysmal but shouldn't be beyond the fan's original idle speed to cool. I reckon this is a bug that just happened to fix your friend's problem.

There was another bug where his GPU was idling at 1.2V Vcore. That was the big issue.

Troll, Navi is a longer term solution VII was a stop gap.

Don't count all your chickens before the eggs hatch.

Dear lordy these comments, these people must still be reeling over Nvidia messing up how a mouse functions through their drivers....
A fan spins a bit faster so the card runs a bit cooler, dear lord the inhumanity, wont someone think of the children!

While I think that might be an extreme, this article does seem like much-ado-about-nothing.

The difference in actual audible sound goes from slightly above completely silent to just ever so slightly more above completely silent. To me, anyone complaining about such a difference needs to pull the silver spoon out of their mouth and chill out.

Then why are people buying cards with fan stop, if idle noise is irrelevant?

Good point. My complaint is with the people who make mountains out of mole-hills about a change in fan noise that would be otherwise go unnoticed if they didn't know about it.

Yup the lameness here is old

Stuff the naysayers - this is a great pick-up. I was wondering why my reference 5700 XT seemed to be noisier then when I first installed it, and now I know. Thanks for your investigation and alerting the community. I for one would certainly be happy to trade back an increase in idle temp of a few degrees for a lower idle fan noise, understanding that when I bought the 5700 XT reference card with a blower I was not going to get the full benefit that an idle fan stop solution gives to those of us who enjoy silence (or as close to it as we can get) when not gaming. I live in Australia and the summers get hot and I just got sick of 3rd party open air coolers dumping lots of heat into my case heating my CPU/RAM/M.2 drive when I was gaming with room temps above 35 degrees C, and so actively chose a reference blower this time around. I don't water cool as its just to much of a PITA when it comes to swapping out components.

Just spotted this almost a year later, still unfixed.

I wonder why AMD made such a knee-jerk change. If ~740rpm was too low, why such a big change? 1170rpm is clearly audible, even if it's not obtrusive - and I get the feeling that ~1050rpm or lower would be silent or inaudible at any normal distance.
