How bad is the noise in this new whisper quiet computer, btw? I can hear it over the “roar” of my mighty 2012 twelvecore.

I have the exact cable posted above. Could anyone confirm that they got it working using that cable? How??
The HDX card fan runs almost silent in the new Mac Pro.
It is undetectable compared to how it used to run in the expansion chassis.
They really sorted out the airflow in the nMP, I guess the HDX card fan only spins when required and that seems to be pretty minimal.
