Re: 3080Ti FTW3 ULTRA: At least one fan "clickety clacks" as if hitting something

I have contacted EVGA and they were super quick and willing to send me a replacement for free, which is awesome.
What turned out is that my card at times of low load would cycle back and forth between 0-fan and running, within seconds, and the fans do emit a low clicking sound when they turn off or start back up. The constant repetition of it was annoying.
Then it turned out as well that a different fan in my system is making noise under load, so I conflated things.
The solution in the end is to take care of the fan that's noisy under load (a case fan), and to switch my card to the "OC" mode where the fans will always run so I am rid of the 0-fan/start-fan wobble.
They were excellent, I love EVGA support. I so much hope that they will make video cards again some day.
Thanks all!
