I'm not too sure about the lower overall noise as these 2 small fans are probably adding more to the overall noise just as much if not more than they help.

I doubt it, they're Noctua fans as opposed to whatever giant loud fans are on the card. Noctua's are like 18db at full blast, the 1070 reference card fans were 57db.
