[Update/Correction]
Hi there, I just wanted to make a correction. It turns out my 1080 Ti FTW3 does not have coil whine. The sound I was hearing was actually created from my Noctua iPPC fans. Turns out at low rpm the motor can create a faint whine sound. I did not know this when I purchased them and with Noctua's reputation didn't even consider it a possibility. The vast majority of you would probably not hear it. But I'm very sensitive to this type of sound. 
 
So I thought it was unfair to EVGA to put out incorrect information about one of their products. Sorry EVGA, it was my mistake. :(
 
 
-----------------
Hi there, 
First off I wanna say the card runs great. Performance, temps, and noise are all great. 
 
But there is a chip in the paint. 


There was no damage to the box so it must have been done while at EVGA. Ok look, the performance is great. So sending it back for this just wouldn't be worth it. But it was annoying to find it.
 
My second issue is the temperature LEDs. I think they were improperly installed. They look like they fell out of place. They also are completely drowned out by the main LEDs of the card. There doesn't appear to be any separation between them. 

Sorry, I know I could have taken a better photo. Could I dissemble and reassemble that piece so the LEDs are where they should be? Or is it missing some piece that would block out the light behind them? I would prefer official EVGA recommendations before any attempt to disassemble. Also if I turn off the appearance LEDs, my temperature LEDs seem to turn green?? The more I look at it the more I think there should be some kind of separator to block the light from the appearance LEDs.
 
My third issue is there is a tiny bit of coil whine when the card gets going. Coming from someone extremely sensitive to high pitch sounds, if I sent it back for this, EVGA would think I was crazy. I doubt most people could hear it.
 
Ok, so ultimately my problems are minor. I got the performance, temps, and noise level I was hoping for. It's just little stuff that annoyed me.
 
 
One more thing, could someone please please tell me how to get Precision to launch a specific profile at startup? Precision launches at startup but not on the only profile I have saved. And if I try to save it to profile zero, then it acts like it never saved.

Evgas leds have always sucked.

Too bright. Uneven brightness. Colors not true. Blah blah blah. I turn them off on every card.

My 1080 ftw2 has white with a heavy shade of blue to it. I was pretty upset.

Poc is kinda junk. Useful but still retarded In some ways. Right click to save profile. Then change a fan or power slider a bit then move it back and hit apply. That should save the current settings to the profile. Idk.
It's a pain in the butt for me too sometimes. I dread installing a new card or driver just to set up poc again.

So annoying
