I really hope this isn't the "fix", if I ever have to mount the air cooler again, e.g. when selling the card.
My card never goes under 50W of power consumption to stop the fans, with two screens >80W, with one screen it is about 70W, and even without a screen it was not lower than 50W.
I hope either it is a driver or vbios issue. And since performance is not affected at all, I do not think it is faulty hardware. And with another 3080 it worked very good - just switched because I wanted and Asus card. Hopefully at some time the support in Asia will respond to my ticket.
Another question I thought about was if for some reason a very old power supply can affect the power consumption of the card? I don't believe so, but who knows?
In my case, I am using an 8 year old 730W Xilence PSU, still doing its job with no (obvious) issues.

I hope this is a joke and not a real solution because your cards design doesn't follow that FAQ at all.

New BIOS doesn't seem to have any impact on 0db for me.... still pretty much stuck at 1000 rpm

Sits around 50-55W and 30 degrees on idle... occasional power spike. Power mode set to normal in CP. It's perhaps slightly better than before, but still spending a lot of time with 1000rpm at "idle." The issue is probably more about what's causing the spikes, but maybe that is normal
