You'd gave to be quite lucky to buy a high-power GPU like that which, under load, wouldn't have coil whine significantly louder than quiet case fans. (GPU fans usually aren't that quiet even at lowest operating speeds but these days 0rpm modes on low loads are pretty much a standard feature.)

Yeah; I got an AMD 6600xt, and it's not noticeable in my quiet, but not fanless case. Also it adds a few very large, very low RPM fans that only spin up under load. Those help pull air through the case, helping other stuff stay in passive / low RPM mode.

It is counterintuitive, but many fans can end up being quieter than a few fans.

You can still order Compulab Airtop 3 with Quadro RTX 4000 8 GB in a fanless configuration. See https://fit-iot.com/web/product/airtop3-build-to-order/

I downgraded to low profile passive MSI 1030 DDR5. Anything above 30W is overkill.
