Does anyone else here get weird a little like whining noise coming from the ACX2.0+ fans at 35-37% RPM. It is worst at 36% RPM. I think it is coming from the bearing/motor. Any other RPM level and it is gone and very silent.

Is is it normal for double bearing fans to have some side noise coming at certain RPMs?

The noise comes every time I set the fans at those levels or when the automatic fan curve passes those RPMs. It happens on desktop or under load.

Is it a sign of something not right or just something I have to get to learn to live with?

Could you post a video or a recording of the noise? also, does it sound at lower RPMs or is it just related to 35-37% RPM?
You might be better off making a new thread with this problem.

Another Hybrid stock sold out before I could get mine :/
Edit: I was able to snag one :D

How on Earth did you get your Hybrid order fulfilled 13 hours ago when my one is still Processing and I ordered yesterday before you at 11:37AM?!  Payment was even taken....
 
I was even told the card is not in stock and they don't know when there will be more...
 
To take my money and tell me the cards are out of stock, then to actually have stock 12 hours later and allow others to purchase it while the paid-yet-unfulfilled orders are ignored is disappointing. if true.  This is not what I have come to expect of EVGA.

Here is a link to youtube and my video.
 
First I have the fans running at 35% RPM and then I increase it to 40%. You can here the whining sound goes away. Then I drop the RPM to 30% and you can hear when they are passing the 35-37% mark and after that silent again. After that I set them back at 36% and leave them running there for a while. Next I put them again to 40% and then soon after to full blast at 100%. From there I drop back to 40% to beautiful silence and very soon again to 36% where the annoying whine occures again. Finally I set the fans back to auto fan control and they shut down.

It would appear that the forward fan is faulty.  There's a flicker in the video on that fan (on the right).  It means the fan is off balance at that particular RPM.  It does seem to self correct at high speeds, but that will fail sooner than it should at low RPMs.

Could it be that the sticker is not centered correctly and that is causing the wobble? Hmm....

Hi is there any notion of when the 980ti hydro will become available?? Please i cannot take it longer now that arkham knight and wild hunt are here!! And when it does come available, can i order it off the evga store, or do i need to order it from a independent retailer (giving that I'm in the uk)?

There is currently no fixed ETA on any items.
 
In other news, no need to worry about Batman - it is in desperate need of a patch regardless of which graphics card vendor your chose!
 
You will be able to order from EVGA EU (which I believe ships from Germany?) or from one of their approved UK retailers ie. Amazon, Overclockers, Scan...

Thanks, and can you give an rough estimate for when they will become available, like a week, or a month etc?
