I just received my RMA. Is there any tests to do to see if there is coil whine or if my cards fans will spin up and screen go blank? Is there anything I can do to force the issue to see if it is present in my RMA? Other than that, EVGA has been really good.

Try to loop the 3dmark skydiver for 1 hr, I got blank screen after 10 mins and I am going to RMA my FTW...... too bad (first time to try EVGA)

20 mins of Witcher III should do it.. will also happen in 3dmark firestrike. You can buy and download 3dnark in steam if you have it. You can loop the firestrike test.. choose custom and then graphics test 2 only and select loop. I believe it will run for 20 mins or so non stop.

Mostly just game and see what happends. Whatevery you were doing when it happend prior would be a good test.

Sadly the only true test is to play games, forget synthetic benchmarks. Witcher 3, Rise of the Tomb Raider. Prior to just playing games, I put mine through all the hoops. Mine would pass 8 hours of Heaven, loop 3dmark firestrike, skydiver over night. I honestly thought I was in the clear and started to play games. To my surprise, my thought to be flawless card black screened within minutes of playing... I couldn't believe it.

There has to be an easy way to recreate or text if this issue affects a card. 
Any other suggestions? 

I ran firestrike loop with max settings for awhile with no ill effects other than the fans kicking in and temps getting to 66c. I guess I got a good card. Thanks EVGA!

Test with your games..

My RMA was entered 6 days ago, but still hasn't shipped from EVGA, presumably waiting for more stock. The NVidia debug thing seems to be working in the meantime so no worries.

Yea but people are saying it can take 30 mins to 2 hours to happen. Surely there is a faster way to make it happen.

Happens pretty reliably for me within 10-15 mins on Witcher 3, Rise of The Tomb Raider and Crysis 3
