Vipergtspa - you are not the only one with coil whine. I just received and tested my second Kingpin card. Same amount of coil whine as my first card. I have tried both cards on two separate systems. Both cards are noticeably louder than my R9295X2 and my MSI 680 Lightning. Not sure what to do at this point.
Sorry to hear about your problematic Kingpin cards. I can understand your frustration because I have done 3 weeks of nothing but trouble shooting $1600 worth of GPU's and I have not found a solution to fix the issues  I am trying to be patient and wait for the replacement PSU to arrive on Friday but it's very hard when I believe that mine is not the cause of the coil whine. On top of that I still have the LED's turning off and on and the fan sometimes making a grinding noise on one of the cards. I could go on and on about other problems but at this point I am just trying to tackle one issue at a time. I have 5 days left if I want to return one of the cards and a little longer on the second card, not saying that's what I want to do but I feel like that may be the only option in order to move on from this nightmare. I may have been a little more forgiving if I did not pay a $400 + premium for top tier cards to perform worse then lower end cards. Thanks

You can request EVGA test the card before they send another out to you. I am waiting on 2x kgp cards and they will both be tested in and out of sli for coil whine, sli issues and Led issues.

They asked me on the first replacement card if I would like them to test prior to shipping and I told them that would be great if they could do that. I am not sure if they did because the RMA card looked like it was never opened, not a huge deal because this card had the lowest coil whine out of the 3 cards I have had, but this one still has the LED issue and it also has one bad fan.

RMA PSU changed nothing, which is what I thought being that the cards still had coil whine in another system.

That is bad/sad news. What will be your next step? I am going to have to figure out how to proceed with my two cards.

I think we both knew it wouldnt. Cant get any better then the PSU you have. Time to move to a new mobo...like i said before if you go Asus i would go with a higher end board....Japanese caps ect... Z97 and a DC on sale at microcenter still. i got my rog formula for 289. and the cpu for 279. in a bundle and reuse your other parts... I hope you get it straightened out my friend. Vipergtspa

For my next step, I am waiting for my 4th card (another RMA) and hoping it will come without issues.
At this point I am left with little choices on what I can do to fix this mess. Continue to setup RMA's with EVGA in hopes of getting a good card. One good thing I found out was that they did inform me that I can remove the ACX cooler from my second card and put it on the third card which has the lowest amount of coil whine, that would fix the fan problem and leave me with 1 good card. Newegg would need the first 2 cards that I purchased from them in order to give me store credit and I now only have one of those two cards, the other was shipped to EVGA. So that leaves me with not much else I can attempt to do, aside from doing RMA after RMA.
I do plain on upgrading my MB and CPU this week, all though I don't think that will fix this problem. Reason being is the cards still have issues in other computers, those same computers along with mine have no problems running my old 780 Ti Classy as well. I do think upgrading will resolve the lower firestrike score in SLI and it is just needed at this point.
I will continue to update, thanks guys.

You did say earlier that when you put the card into the other pc "it still had some coil whine but not any where near as loud as in my system" & that was a lower end system..... I don't know how a mobo can affect coil whine as the definitions around the web don't seem to indicate a mobo could cause this.... But you did test it your self and heard the difference.
Wish we had a motherboard expert on here....
Sorry I could not help you....
I will keep my fingers crossed that you new board will eliminate the coil whine for you. Please do let us know the outcome......

I think the main reason for the lower coil whine in the low end system was because the card was hardly being used. The B75 MB only uses PCI-E 1.0 and that same system only had a cheap 430 watt PSU, which would make me think the 980 was not getting it's full load and thus creating lower coil whine. I am not positive but just guessing at this point. I don't know for sure, but I think what can make the MB contribute to the coil whine of the GPU is something to do with the power draw from the MB to the GPU. But I do not really know. I very much appreciate all of your input and help with this problem, and I will keep this post updated with any new info for anyone else they may run into a situation like this. Thanks

UPDATE
Just received an email today letting me know that my 4th card will arrive at my house on Tuesday, this took much longer then the prior RMA's which may be a good thing. I am hoping it is because they tested it for problems before shipping it to me, only time will tell for sure.
My never ending issues keep coming with these card's. Now I have a metal ticking/popping noise coming from one of the two card's while gaming or running benchmark's, not sure which one is doing it and I am fed up with removing them (screws are striping out) to trouble shoot countless problems. I have also had a few black screen freezes when gaming, only way to fix that is doing a complete shut down. I updated to the 347.88 driver to see if that would resolve the screen from freezing and it did not, also rolled back to the prior driver with no luck.
I updated to PX 5.3.2 as well just to try and see if maybe that would help with any of the issues, mainly the LED light's flickering off and on. No change with that update.
I will continue to update this post with anything new, like more problems or fixes for the current set of issue's.
Thanks

Thank you Vlada  I just wish I knew what the hack would cause the metal ticking noise? In all my years of owning tons of GPU's I have never heard them make a noise like this. I have had fan's go bad, coil whine, but nothing like this before. When running games or benchmark test it will make this noise every 3 to 5 seconds. After I close the game it will continue to click/pop for about a minute after words, then completely stop. Any Idea what this is ? Thamks

I heard ticking noise once only, but in completely broken fan on reference HD5870. Later I sold card as good sample with fault fan, guy who bought had fan from his dead HD5870 and everything work. But that was not only ticking noise, I hear and mill of plastic, scraping noise and similar things but on some slow speed that was and ticking noise... but I knew fan was finished. No EVGA need to provide fans only for customers for their GPU models... As you see here... only models for their cards. I would not back some excellent GPU sample because fault fan. I would rather found some solution.  If you hear ticking noise maybe some wire only little touch fan blades...or noise come from motor.

Updates? new card? mobo? cpu? We are all interested in your suffering...lol just playing....If it makes you feel any better, I have went from 970's ftw to ftw plus to 980's ftw to Kingpins. I will not say the kingpins are perfect as if i do something will happen...  Vipergtspa

I did receive the replacement card today and it also has bad coil whine  no bad fans as of yet, which is kind of good. EVGA did send me a refurbished/used card that was not in the retail box and they had told me that would not happen because I am under the 30 day mark. Also this new card does not run at the rated boost clock of 1418MHz, instead maxes out at 1416MHz. I know this sounds like it's not a big deal but for me it is. Card one and two ran at 1430MHz stock boost and card three ran at 1455MHz. Another thing I found out with this replacement card is it score's much lower in firestrike then the other three cards at the same clock speed, not sure why or what would cause that. Newest/forth card stock 67% ASIC, second highest amount of coil whine. No bad fans http://www.3dmark.com/fs/4467133 Second card stock 69.1% ASIC, most amount of coil whine. No bad fans http://www.3dmark.com/fs/4467694 Third card stock 77.9% ASIC, least amount of coil whine, one bad fan http://www.3dmark.com/fs/4468127 My first card scored the same as the second with a 69.3% ASIC, had just as much coil whine and also had one bad fan. Here is some other results, Forth/Newest card with +120 core +200 memory http://www.3dmark.com/fs/4469038 Third Card with +75 core +200 memory http://www.3dmark.com/fs/4468750 Second card with +120 core +200 memory http://www.3dmark.com/fs/4467894 My new MB and CPU will arrive at my home tomorrow some time, hoping that will cut down the coil whine noise so I can focus on the other issues. After that I can not think of anything else on my end to fix this problem. Thanks

Jesse....I was hoping for a better result for you. I am going to put it all out there and say that your new mobo and cpu setup is going to end the coil whine for you. VERY IMPORTANT.... with your setup you are getting.... Follow the thread posted in rog forum otherwise your cpu will run extremely hot even on a closed loop cooler as auto settings in asus bios for this cpu is way off... Follow this guide.... https://rog.asus.com/forum/showthread.php?57357-For-anyone-who-has-a-4790k-running-hot-here-is-the-fix-that-worked-for-me And if you want it to run cool like a sandy bridge do this... https://rog.asus.com/foru...ver-10C-Drop-In-Temps! EDIT: Also I got two Kingpins both with low ASIC of 65% and zero coil whine..... PS your score kicked my scores butt.... http://www.3dmark.com/com.re/fs/4469038/fs/4408305 Vipergtspa

The ASIC score does not bother me, it's the coil whine and the much lower score vs the other 2 cards I have. My biggest issue with the most recent card is the fact that it's used/refurbished, along with the fact it did not come in a retail box and that would leave me with a card that does not match the serial number of either retail boxes I own. This RMA card and my old PSU will be shipped back tomorrow, not sure what will happen next aside from hoping my new CPU and MB will fix the coil whine. Thank you very much antandbetty  for all of your help and support with this very frustrating problem of mine.

ASUS employers statement about coil whine on graphic cards are that they will check what happen when customer send back, if they think something else is problem than no replacing cards but if they figure out that really card produce coil whine than they will offer help to customers and in most cases repair graphic card or eventually replace. Complications, complications,...

The ASIC score does not bother me, it's the coil whine and the much lower score vs the other 2 cards I have. My biggest issue with the most recent card is the fact that it's used/refurbished, along with the fact it did not come in a retail box and that would leave me with a card that does not match the serial number of either retail boxes I own.
This RMA card and my old PSU will be shipped back tomorrow, not sure what will happen next aside from hoping my new CPU and MB will fix the coil whine.

If problem is in power new motherboard and CPU will not help you, hardware work on same principle always. Long USB cables and monitor in other room or headphones can help you in that case. You can change PSU whole life if PSU is culprit noise come from PSU box.

You continue to try and help me and in my book that is just as important. Today I shipped my most recent RMA card back along with the 850 G2 PSU. I was given the OK from EVGA to remove the ACX cooler from this card and put it on my first replacement card from them, which had the lowest amount of coil whine. So that leaves me with one good card. I then spoke with Jason one of the manager's ( very helpful and nice ) and he promised me he would personally test the card before shipping it to me. Also he said that I would get the retail box with this card. I am really hoping this resolves all of this and I also feel pretty confident it will happen this time after my phone call with Jason. The CPU and MB did not get delivered today, should come tomorrow. I Will update as soon as I can when it is all put together, which may not happen until Friday. I have not yet received an estimated time for the 5th RMA card to arrive at my home, but I will update as I find out. Thanks Jeff

That's best possible scenario if someone from EVGA test card and send to you.
Thanks good because that happen you immediately on beginning and you will have soon your card back.

You can change PSU whole life if PSU is culprit noise come from PSU box.
I have had 2 EVGA 850 G2, 1 Corsair HX750, 1 Corsair CX600, and 1 Thermaltak 530 PSU hooked up to all four cards and they all had the same result, coil whine. Pretty sure that means it's not PSU related but who knows. I don't understand what you mean by "You can change PSU whole life if PSU is culprit noise come from PSU box" ? Thanks Jeff

I feel more confident because he seamed much more concerned about getting me a card without coil whine or any other problems. Also I was promised to have the past 2 cards tested before they where shipped out to me and that did not happen. The tech I spoke with yesterday had told me there was no side notes about testing the 2 prior cards. Plus this last card would not have so many problems if it was tested out before leaving the warehouse. Thanks for the support

If you tried on different PSU and result is same than something else is problem.
If you don't hear that noise come from PSU than something else is problem, power, motherboard,...every hardware work on similar principle and if something else cause coil whine and 1-2-3 PSU didn't stop that than 99% and any other PSU models will not stop that. PSU coil whine is usually obvious that come from PSU box and when you put another noise stop.

UPDATE My new MB ( Asus Maximus VII Formula ) and CPU ( i7-4790K ) did not fix the coil whine issue. However it did seem to lower the coil whine a bit, but still not what I would consider livable. 5th card will arrive at my home on Wednesday and I am told there is no coil whine what so ever, or any defective fans on this card. If this turns out to be true, I will then be left with 1 card that makes some coil whine but no where near as bad as the other 3. The LED lights also still turn off and on at different time's, no change from my old CPU/MB setup. On a positive note my i7 seems to be a pretty good OC'ing chip. I have not had a lot of time to mess around with it yet, but I have reach a stable OC of 4.7GHz with only 1.225V. When I get past the GPU mess I would like to shoot for 4.9GHz OC, which I think this CPU can do. Here is a new firestrike I ran with the new setup and mild OC http://www.3dmark.com/fs/4490859 I will update this when I get the new card installed and run some test. Thanks Jeff

I knew, you can cross from EVGA Intel on ASUS AMD, if problem is somewhere in power he will force any system to behave similar. That's so simple, you can't be expert to know that power not recognize difference in motherboard vendors or Intel and AMD, only more or less power. I think that you have some problem with power and that cause coil whine from mobo VRM or CPU, because that's end/center/brain of system. That's now famous ASUS Super Alloy Chokes or some other "special" from their kitchen... They know nothing, same as Seasonic...coil whine destroy them 25% of total earning and they don't know to fix. They only improve stupid side things... One decide to buy ASRock because they have 12k capacitors and ASUS only 10k...stupid man... But to fix coil whine and ASRock and ASUS are helpless. Not only them complete industry of electronic is garbage after world economic crisis and situation will become worse and worse... we will be faced with cheaper and cheaper materials, we will never see SR-2, X58 Classified, Rampage III Extreme,... DFI Lanparty...Not only because vendors, same capacitors, same transistors, chokes, same producer and not same quality before and now even if they look same to you. I post video with light bulbs... I'm witness .When I was young in communistic country you had only one brand of everything, same is with one brand of light bulbs... They work years, when you replace one bulb next time you need to replace after 3-4-5 years. No chance to die earlier. No energy efficient and some stupid things... One simple light bulb as before 30 years work 4-5-6 years and cost as one bubble gum. That was ritual you buy one bulb and you replace that and you are aware that you will be 5-6 years older when she die. Now one light bulb will work 2-3 weeks max. If you don't buy some expensive... Someone will say conspiracy theory ,power is bad, how power can be better in communistic country than now worldwide. It's not I'm witness because as young kid that was interesting to me to change light bulbs and I was sad because they die so rear. In life I replace 2-3 until they become rubbish. Now in shops people never buy one, 10-15 light bulbs, whole package, for 2-3 months again 10-15. Humans deserve alien attack.

The third 980 with little to no coil whine has a fan problem. When the card ramps up the fan speed over 60% and then starts to drop the fan speed down one out of the two fans makes a high pitch grinding noise for a few seconds then goes a way. Almost sounds like it's hitting off of metal but I have verified that it is not and nothing is touching or in the way of the fan. I did tighten the screws on the problematic fan with no change. I was able to narrow down which fan makes the noise by pressing on one at a time and it is just the one fan that is the problem. This only happens once in a while so not a huge issue, but still should not be happening none the less. There is post that I read earlier from another user with a 980 making the same fan noise as mine but from his video that was posted in that thread it would seem his is louder then mine but hard to tell. On a side note, when the fans are at 40% or lower there is a low whoosh noise.
Sounds like a bad fan
Yeah I get a bit of a vibration/rattle coming from fans, when I put a bit of pressure on shroud it goes away. Only when fans are around 50% and dissipates as they increase speed, not really worried at this stage as game with headphones but shouldn't happen regardless on premium card.
Cheers

Yeah it was a bad fan. Currently with the two cards I have now, nether have a bad fan because I replaced the cooler with the last RMA card.
I am hoping the card tomorrow will have no coil whine and no broken fans.
Thanks

UPDATE
I received my replacement card today and I just finished testing it out. This card has coil whine, not the loudest out of the 5 cards but it is present none the less. Another issue that I have is I did not receive the retail box with this card, I was told now on 2 RMA's that I would get the retail packaging and that was not the case. For me this is completely unacceptable on brand new cards.
This card does not seem to have any defective fans at this point and performance seems to be good, but I have not spent a ton of time with the newest card to know for sure.
I am at a lose with what to do about this very frustrating issue. I should not of listened to the tech about going through EVGA in stead of sending the GPU back to Newegg for the first RMA. By following his instruction's I have wasted well over a month of trouble shooting, opening and repacking GPU's and PSU's, removing parts and then re installing them, wasted time from work waiting for ups to deliver replacement parts, wasted gas and time driving to a ups store to ship out parts, countless hours spent researching ways to resolve this online, along with disassembling and reassembling three of my computers many time for testing these cards,$800 spent on new hardware ( Motherboard, CPU, and Ram ) because I wanted to rule out that my old hardware may be causing this, I am sure there is more that I am missing but that should be enough to understand why at this point I am very angry about all of this.
I do know that I am not the only one with this problem. There is a fellow member on here that has had 3 replacement Kingpin 980's all with coil whine.
I just want 2 GPU's that work without noises, being from coil whine or faulting fans and perform well for gaming and messing with some benchmark testing.
