You should probably find a way to make your noise tests more reliable.

The MSI 770 Gaming uses the same cooler as the MSI 760 Gaming but at idle but you have it at 43.3dba vs 40.7 which is a pretty big difference considering it uses the exact same fans and is running at the exact same speed of 990rpm.

You know what.. That was human error on my part. I went back through the data and figured out what it was. The HVAC (air conditioner) was on in GTX770 review and was off in the GTX760 review. That causes the dB reading to increase by 2-3dB. Once I'm within 5000 miles of the test system I'll retest. Thanks for pointing this out. When testing cards for hours on end you sometimes make mistakes like noticing the air is running in the room.
