Morning all,
I recently received this card as an upgraded replacement to a faulty MSI 770 (yup that's my thread about 10 below this one) and i'm having issues with it.
The ACX cooler fans make an audible high pitch noise when running at certain speeds like theyre resonating with something or wobbling slightly. Ive checked this using EVGA Precision and increasing the speeds of the fans by 1% at a time. The noise is present more often than not. It is not coil whine as this noise can be heard on the desktop and i can stop it by placing a finger on the fans to slow them down.
Has anyone had a similar experience with an EVGA card with this cooler? Is there a fix?
The way i see it ive got 3 options:-
1 - Send it back to Scan and see if they think its annoying enough to warrant a replacement
2 - Live with it, though its bloody annoying as i use my pc for everything and it lives in my livingroom.
3 - Attempt a fix myself.
The card is less than a month old so i could send it back no problem but if Scan think im being stupid it'll cost me for the check and return postage.
Just looking for advice. Cheers.
