Why does it need to be quiet though? Don't most of these live in a datacentre with no humans around? I assume you will say you want to keep it in your office or similar, but then I'll just ask again - why exactly?

Its designed to be in the office, so having a default sound level of 75dB isn't going to be a winner.

Plus I suspect that having watercooling for that machine allows it to fit in a much smaller space. We had a machine that contained 4 RTX 2080s (or maybe the generation before) and it took up a huge amount of space, and never went at full speed, because of the cooling (those consumer cards are not designed for density.)

The DGX Station designed to run on 35dBA. So Nvidia thinks it need to be run silently because of it should be a monster workstation under your desk.
