Hello everyone. The first thing i want to mention, that from the date of buying it has very strange temperature settings for chip based on Maxwell architecture: my stock ingame/3d temperatures often go much over 83c, which means, that i have to push temperature limit higher even on stock to not get downclock... Room temperature is below 25c, and my case is fractal design r5. The next problem is connected with previous: it is high end gpu,  and is made for oc, but when i try to manage fan lines, i can hear weird and annoying sound from cooling system, when fans go through range of 60-70%, and the sharper/faster speed line i do - the more noticeable noise i hear... It is really annoying in dynamics... Also if i make fan profile more aggressive,  it feels the same, and after 70% i can distinguish rattling sound from air flow of fans.Tried to сommunicate with support on this theme but not successfull. Here is last q-a and links to file hosting with video:

Thank you for answer. I ve understand about temperature, so i can remove heatsink and try to change thermal grease. But i didnt understand u about noise - its not airflow, its failed bearings on fans...I ve tried my best to show you again, that it is not normal sound, sorry, but please listen these files, and u ll hear not only ticking fan sound during changing speed but also shrieks(at 50-55%) and growl after 60. It is noticeble at overall noise level and airflow sound.... i can't imagine, how to show its better...And thank you again for fast response.

Thank you for coming back with further details.
After analysis the attached video we could not find any noticeable noise coming out of Graphics card other then Air Flow.
or noise could be canceled by noise canceling feature on you mic.
Please feel free to contact for any further assistance.
Regards
EVGA

I want you to ask - does nobody else hear the problem with cooling system, and is it really ok?? Because i had sent 6 other videos before these and was answered, that it's ok. I feel frustrated and perplexed...Thank you for all opinions and experience.
 

Thank you with link.

Not sure what this means "my stock ingame/3d temperatures often go much over 83c

It means that when i play game like company of heroes 2 or battlefield 1 or witcher 3 or farcry 4 / any hard game with only factory settings, my graphics card temperature goes over 83c, when maxwell cards begin to downclock at 80c. I read that normal temperatures under load on maxwell should be about 70c...

A Fan "range of 60-70%" is going to make some wind sounds, all part of how cooling works.

The thing is, that it is not air flow - its fan bearings, which make described sounds! Just download videos and turn them louder - microphone of recording device is good quality, u hear not "white noise" or other kind of interference or air flow sound, it is fans in work, and in some moments screech comes to the fore. I made so many videos precisely in order to show, how sound differs from one load to another.
