Just received my EVGA 1080 SC from Newegg and upon initial tests, it seems like the fans are messed up? They constantly fluctuate speeds and it is incredibly irritating. It seems like they do it quite a bit more during anything that causes load.
 
I re-seated the fan header on the card as well and changed out my PCI-E cable to no avail. Can this be fixed? Thanks.
 

I am running the newest driver from nvidia's site. I'll try a previous version.

This is still an issue and it's being ignored.  Latest drivers / etc. and the fans spike ~1k RPM instantaneously under any sort of load.  Custom fan profiles don't fix it either, the spikes still occur.
 
Coil whine aside, which is still horrible on these cards and seems to get worse every generation from EVGA, the driver fix only dealt with the FE cards.  The ACX cooler is doing it too, which is unfortunate because otherwise it's quite silent.   It's just going unnoticed by most people since it's a much more subtle sound difference.

I can confirm that loud Coil Whine is not a problem with this series 

I appreciate the response, in both this thread and the other one I started about the fan issue, but this statement simply isn't true.  Unless the QA parameters only account for 60Hz monitors running with a frame limiter/VSync, or are staffed with people who simply can't hear it (more people than you'd think), they whine just as much as the 9-series did.
 
The only cards that consistently have no/reduced whine are the reference/FE style models, primarily due to the shroud doing a better job of blocking the sound at the source.
