Short answer; no, it does not sound loud to me during intense usage. I find it takes a lot to get these fans spinning up high. I was actually worried they were not working the first time I played 4K video off of YouTube and they never spun up in the 3 minutes I was watching the video. Once they do, it is a soft distant rain sound as opposed to the sound you would think high speed fans would make. I have a powerful desktop and 1/3rd of the sound of what that beast makes. Like I said more of a rain...static sound as opposed to my desktop that sounds like larger fans moving air. So to me I think they actually engineered the sound to be more like white noise in my opinion. I used a free DB meter app and maybe you can't trust the level accuracy but you should be able to trust differences in level from one sound to another. At idle with the fans not even on but in a web browser, it was at 35db. That is basically the ambient sound of my home with nothing else on, not even A/C. With a benchmark testing out the video card and the fans running on high (maybe not max), it only went up to 40db. From a couple feet in front of the screen as when I have it on my lap (which I did). If I move the DB meter right on top of the keyboard area it topped out at 45. When I place it on the backside 4 inches from the exhaust ports it about 62. So again they have engineered the sound away from you. So far I am very happy with this purchase. I use it for 1080p multi-camera editing in Adobe Premiere Pro and the occasional first person shooter in high settings, as well as Skyrim in Ultra settings. When the sound is normal levels on those games it's not a bother. Watching movies doesn't even but the fans into high so no issue there as well.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.a little bit, but nothing to be worried since it keeps the gpu in optimal temps
