You know what, it damn well may be that wire. I took the cover off to get a better look and I think that's it... I swear I couldn't see the fan blades hitting it before when I was spinning it with my finger, but now that I kinda tightened the wire it's not clicking anymore, by hand anyways. Think i'll glue the wire down and throw her back in and test it out.

 Careful modifying the GPU as it could void it's warranty. Try moving the cable if possible w/out the use of glue.

Wellll....in actuality, he's not modifying it, but repairing it--fixing a clear (and unfortunately common) defect.  For all I know, you may be right, technically, but it would seem rather poor treatment to penalize a customer, especially when he knows that exchanging it is no guarantee against getting the same or worse back for his trouble. Anyway, I think p0tent's open-mindedness is a good example for others who might end up here with the same problem, considering how quick some people are to rule out an obstruction as an impossibility, just because there are no obviously loose wires.

I bought a 2070 XC Ultra in an Amazon sale and was testing several games and while I was playing GTA V last night with the framerate capped at 60fps I noticed an intermittent grinding noise from my PC, like the noise hard drives make when they're dying. I checked my monitoring software and I see that my GPU fan starts and stops while playing GTA V at 60fps and the fan starting up is what was causing the grinding noise. If this noise is what I can expect everytime I play a game that keeps my GPU temps just on the threshold where the fans activate/deactivate then that's something I would consider a problem. After reading this thread I checked the card to see if any fan cables were hitting the fan and they all were securely fastened. There was only one cable with the slightest bit of slack and so I glued that cable to the heatsink just in case that was the problem, but unfortunately that did not fix the noise. I will not be setting a custom fan curve like others have done in this thread as having to leave software running to fix a noise problem with a premium card that has a 3-slot cooler is unacceptable to me. I will be returning the card to Amazon.

The fan spin up / stop noise really is unfortunate. I just got a new 2070 Super XC Ultra and it's driving me nuts.

Same issue with a new 2070 Super XC Ultra. I made a video of the noise, sounds exactly like the video on the first page:
Is this confirmed to be a wire making contact with the fans?

Yes, there are many confirmations from people who have discovered that the fan wire was slightly contacting the fan blades, and fixed the noise by securing the wire. However, there seems to be a separate issue that causes a similar but different noise, and that issue can not be fixed as far as I know. The video in Post #20 is an example of the wire obstruction noise, as far as I can tell. That noise is a sharper, "clicky" sound. The other noise is a quieter, raspy or "growly" kind of noise. I'm sure you don't want to read through the entire thread--here are some additional posts from this thread that may help you to at least determine whether or not it is an obstruction: #101 #197 #202 #206 #228 #257 #277 #299, #300, #301

The problem is that when you change the curve, the card starts to warm up. 100% fans
Return to default normalizes temperature and fans 60-70%
But in default, the start-stop creak torments

I currently have this issue. I'd also like to make a note that I haven't seen anyone mention. (I've read this entire thread lol) My card didnt make this noise the first few days. In fact, it just started yesterday. So I'm hoping that maybe it is the fan head touching the cable. I will report back on whether that is the case or not. I am currently having some other issues though. As far as my temp and some SERIOUS coil whine. Hope this all gets figured out. This is my very first serious gaming rig that I've sunk a lot of money into. I would just love to get a decent overclock, with decent temps, and a card that doesn't sound like a cicada! Edit: I've got an EVGA FTW3 2080 ti ultra

I could be wrong, but I don't think the coil whine can be fixed. Your only option may be to return the card if it bothers you.

Yeah... I've seen a few posts about burning it in. Also psu could cause it. Or you could be right... could just be the GPU and unfixable.
Also, update on my fan noise situation. I checked to make sure fans weren't touching any cables. And sure enough. None of the cables were anywhere near close enough for the blades to rub. The cables were also pretty taught. So no sag or anything.
So most likely motors as other have said. As well as EVGA. All though honestly... that noise is the least of my issues.
I'm starting to have a new development... not a huge deal I guess... but the fans are not shutting off at all now... used to unless I set it to auto or all fans to a certain speed and saved. Only one would run and the other 2 off. Unless temps are high. Which they're not.
And the weird thing is this even happens after completely uninstalling msi afterburner AND precision x1.

What framerates are being output when you experience the coil whine? As far as I know, significant coil whine at framerates of around 60 or below would be unusual, whereas the likelihood of coil whine increases with increasing framerates. I tested my 2080 Ti Black after installation, and the only time I experienced coil whine was while running benchmark programs when the framerate was in the 500+ range. Also, there won't be any sag or looseness if a wire happens to be making contact with a fan blade. It only needs to overlapping by a fraction of a millimeter, and this is not likely to be detectable simply by turning the fan blade manually. If you read this thread, more than one person was adamant that he did not have a wire obstruction, only to come back later and admit that that was the problem after all. Your issue may be bearing-related, but you will need to remove your card and inspect it in order to be certain.

I think they just admitted it's a design flaw.
Here is what I got from EVGA in my support case
Hello,
A replacement would not affect this noise from the fans, all of the cards produce this noise at lower fan speeds due to the design of the fans. Our product team is aware of this and may release an update to resolve this issue in the future but we have not been informed of any time to expect an update. As of now the only workaround is to adjust the start fan speed with a customer curve to something above 8%. I apologize that we can not provide a better solution at this time.
Regards,
EVGA
LOL this since 2018. I got my 2080 Super XC Ultra last week and It's still having the same issues.

I had a 2070S Black and apprently it did not run at 0 RPM at all. Now I switched to the 2070S XC and I hear the noise... I dont know what happened, I honestly thought my Black had a new BIOS that would prevent 0 RPM but given there are no new BIOS at all, might have been just some weird settings on my end.
Anyway, currently the only way to fix that is to run either Afterburner or Precision at startup, is that it? And which of those 2 softwares would you recommend and why?

i just ordered a 2080 xc ultra in sale and it has quite a loud fan start up click. and with older games running at 120fps locked the fans keep going on and off it's really annoying. how could they have ever chosen such fans for a 0db fan design that starts and stops all the time. it drives me nuts. RMA has no use since all the cards seem to have it. you will just get one back with the same problem :( its crazy that you have to run a program in the background with a custom fan curve and always keep the fans on. it's just a broken product. i don't get it a lot of you people accept this. its been driving me nuts for months. rma seems to be of no use since you will get one with the same problem since all the fans seem te be like this. could evga help or contact me with a real solution or do we have to w8 for a 3080 with a different fan that doesn't click .......

I had the same problem on two TIs XC ULTRA. The first was really loud, at any speed, ever since I first turned on the machine I installed it in; so much that, in the first place, I thought I accidentally moved some cable in the way of a case fan while putting it in. I didn’t know it was a common issue so I cursed my supposed bad luck and sent the card back for a RMA. The replacement card was perfect out of the box, but after a few days began making a soft, but noticeable, ticking at slow speeds that went away when the fans were spinning faster. So I came across this and other threads about it and got to know the issue is very common and returning another card would have been most likely useless and so I decided to try fix it myself.
I disassembled the shroud and detached the second fan (the one farthest from the retention bracket), that is always the one that makes noise. I taped the cable going to the other fan, shown in the pic posted by adam25560, against the heatsink, but when I tested the card things were even worse. So I realized that the noise was caused by the cable to the second fan itself: both cables to the fans are made of 4-5 (can’t remember) cables twisted together, so if they are twisted the opposite way, the cables get loose and separate from each other, ending up occupying a larger area and thus risking to interfere with the fan blades. So I taped the final part of the fan twisted cable to keep it one piece and mounted the fan back in place (being careful to pass the cable in the area with the lower fins). Now it’s more than a week and the card is dead silent.
What’s really strange is that I’ve worked also with many 2080s (not TI) that use the same exact cooling system and none of those gave me this problem.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9GL0llJv1u8 I'm not sure that it's ever possible to know for certain by ear alone, especially via an online video in which the audio is compressed. But to the best of my ability to discern, that sounds exactly like the wire obstruction issue. It has that certain quality, as if you were swiping your fingernail across the fins of a radiator really swiftly. From what I have gathered, the motor- or bearing-related noise is more subtle...more of a "growl" than a scrape. Ultimately, the only way to know for sure is to take a card out and give it a good inspection. On a side note, my 2080 Ti Black never had either issue from day one, which was the beginning of January. But a couple of months ago when I was down right next to my open case, I thought I heard the motor noise when at least one of the fans started to spin, though I'm still not certain. Not long before that I had installed a 4-slot hot swap HDD bay which has an unfortunately loud fan, so I suppose it's possible that it's still doing it without my knowledge.

The fact that I pre-ordered my 2080 on day 1 and have experienced this since then and that EVGA GPUs are still sold today with this problem is crazy. It is extremely annoying hearing that sound and nobody should be forced to apply a fan curve to run the fans 24/7 to prevent this flaw/defect. The point of the fans spinning down is to save power when power is not needed. It's been a useful feature since about the Nvidia GTX 700 series (maybe before if I am incorrect). And from the posts I skimmed through, nobody from EVGA has acknowledged this?

Funny how EVGA still hasn't fixed this issue. My 1080Ti did this as well until I moved the wire. You'd think with this going on for so long that they would have come up with a solution and fixed it before it got in the customer's hands.

So its even worse than some of us thought. Gross. Hard to recommend or want to go with EVGA in the future when they knowingly do this for 3-4years straight. And I just got a EVGA PSU recently too

I think that's a bit extreme! I would expect a business to take care of any mistakes in a timely manner. But we have to take everything into account. For me, this one issue doesn't suddenly make another manufacturer more appealing to me. It does make me wonder whether there has been a recent change in executive management, though.

Do you have the issue? It is extremely annoying. The only reason I put up with it for so long is because I have the GPU in a external enclosure and didn't use it often. I saw someone from EVGA recommending simply laying the GPU down flat and pushing on the fans since maybe it was slightly loose. So I figured, when I took the GPU out I could try it, but was in no rush to do so. Well it didn't help, therefore the fan isn't loose at all and I am stuck with a annoying GPU if I don't RMA it. Yeah, it only does it when the fan turns on (hits a specific temp during idle). But you would be surprised how often it can go OnOffOnOffOnOffOnOff nonstop from hovering around 49-50 when simply doing everyday tasks like YouTube, browsing web, twitch, having something running in the background, etc. A company having the problem for 3-4 years and not fixing it or giving a heads up is kinda disappointing. Nowadays, most GPU brands are reliable and perform about the same. The thing EVGA set themselves apart with is warranty/CS. Now when they start to fail to work together at EVGA to spread awareness and help fix something like this, something is changing with the company. It is not OUR job to reach out to the highest levels of EVGA and encourage them to look into fixes. It might start at a forum mod level, then be forwarded to CS, then forwarded to another person, etc. Here is 11 pages of proof in one single thread of why they should look into it. As well as many other threads across EVGA, Guru3D, reddit, etc.

A company having the problem for 3-4 years and not fixing it or giving a heads up is kinda disappointing. Nowadays, most GPU brands are reliable and perform about the same. The thing EVGA set themselves apart with is warranty/CS. Now when they start to fail to work together at EVGA to spread awareness and help fix something like this, something is changing with the company. It is not OUR job to reach out to the highest levels of EVGA and encourage them to look into fixes. It might start at a forum mod level, then be forwarded to CS, then forwarded to another person, etc. Here is 11 pages of proof in one single thread of why they should look into it. As well as many other threads across EVGA, Guru3D, reddit, etc.
Well, probably from their perspective (EVGA's), they have no real reason to fix it. Not all of the cards are going to have this issue. When they do have the issue, it is usually pretty easy to fix and does not require an RMA. Fixing mine was a matter of simply moving the cable aside. Yes, they probably should design this better, but as long as it doesn't create a lot of customer grunts or cost to the company then they have little incentive to do so. However, from what I can tell, this is pretty much in-line with where EVGA has gone over the years. I have noticed more and more issues like this popping up and going unresolved. My experience has been that EVGA used to be a much better company (around the time they had lifetime warranties). Once they got rid of the lifetime warranty (which was unneeded for me, so that is not the reason for me being critical), they started slowly going downhill. The reason that I bought my Asus 2080Ti, is because I could no longer tell any difference between Asus and EVGA, plus EVGA did not have inventory at the time. EVGA, in my opinion has dropped down to the Asus level over the years, and may even have dropped lower in my mind. There really did used to be a clear leader in Nvidia cards, not anymore.

Do you have the issue?
My card doesn't have the issue. It's one of the first things I checked, since I had already known about the issue before purchasing it. Have you already determined which of the two causes you have? If it is the wire obstruction, it's easy to fix. This thread contains information and pictures describing the solution. If it is rather loud, I would not be surprised if it is the obstruction. If it is the noise caused by the motors/bearings themselves, unfortunately the only way to stop it (without replacing the fans or the card itself) is to set the fan curve so that the fan remains spinning after start-up.
