You are exactly right..  All two products I have have made me a true fan boy...   Wait...  Because I say this with any product,  I am a fanboy of one?   Oh jeez..  I wish I would have known.   That means...  I am a fan boy of the R9 series on YouTube as well,  when they people cry about a product they won't buy...   So..  Yeah.   Totally a fanboy.   Does that satisfy your wish my friend?  :-)  glad I could help you there, so...  Back to you returning your stuff.

..... . Come on buddy, we know you want to. I can find MANY posts of myself singing EVGA praise, until recent products. I have no brand loyalty... Can you say the same?
 
Joined 2008, joined 2013... I think, I have more credibility here. I've been buying EVGA product for years, you are signed up last year. 

 
Oh GOD....   You spotted me...  What do I do.   Please show me the praises I am giving out?  As far as I know,  saying to send them back and or fix hem yourself isn't praise.   If I am a fanboy,  I would say it is more over a vendor like Frozen CPU or EKWB,  as they have been extremely helpful.   The only thing Evga has done is tell me they can't ship me anything and provide one bios update.   

Feeling defensive?

Nope,  but I am bored with your ignorance. 

Ignorance? Shoot me your education? Give me something that lends credibility to calling me more ignorant than you? Guarantee that I will eat you alive. 

Scarlet-Tech
You keep saying you are going to send your garbage back,  yet,  here you sit,  repeating yourself and not acting..  That is ignorance.  Enjoy yourself Chris Long,  and either follow through with your words,  or stop whining.   As I said,  if my cards are broken when I finally get my stuff,  I will not hesitate. 

I have, by sending four cards back... Are you THAT stupid? Working on sending a fifth back. 

Scarlet-Tech
I will return it and go somewhere else....   I am talking about what you have,  not had.   Yes,  you are that stupid. 

HAHA, that's why I've returned four broken cards and you say that I just need to return my card and stop complaining on their tech support forum... The forum that they respond and listen to? Ah, smart one you are. Also, I have been receiving extremely high quality cards since before 2008 from EVGA, why would I not give them several chances? I want to believe it is just an issue with the 780TI, the only card I have had any significant issues with.
Come on, give me your education details and GPA before you start throwing around, "stupid". You know better, because you have read my previous posts.

What education and get do you want?  Working on my associates with a 3.9 at this time.   You want to know what I do for a living? 

Ok, good work... You've been sorting through my posts... Keep looking. I went through both my undergrad and MBA with only two B's... The rest were all A's. Don't insult my intelligence, I know exactly what I am doing. EVGA only learns to improve their product when getting feedback from users or having product returns (a form of feedback). They will learn from their customers ("whining"). Why would a company ever create a forum and not be looking for customer feedback. What an easy way to gain feedback about their product.

Chris Long is just a pseudonym that I use on the internet... 

Well good for you. I'm impressed... Or.. Maybe not.

P. S. Scott is not a pseudonym...

Obviously.... 

LOL, I was joking and decided to update. :-) I messaged you. I am done hijacking this thread. I never once claimed to know you. You act like I tried to, and act as if your MBA somehow applies better than what I do. Unfortunately I would have to care what you do first. I admit I am a novice, and I don't need to hide behind pseudonyms.. To each their own.

Hello chrisdglong and Scarlet-Tech .
 
You guys can go discuss this for another post ? I created this post for anyone who has / have the same problem I had with my graphics card , can be helped by my fix( or other fix from someone that share it in this post ) , that do not want to return it. Now thanks to you guys we have to read nearly a page of a discussion that should have been done in another post.

This is the only time that I will refer to this so do not ask me more about this .... The ACX cooler is a very good innovation because it can maintain temperatures low and low noise that was what I wanted to buy without having to buy other cooler for the graphics card , but like all innovations bring problems in this case was the rattle ( coil whine was not the reason why I created this post) . So I found a solution to the problem and shared to help anyone who had the same problem and did not want to return the card for some reason (mine was a good result ASIC score) .

Now I ask you not to continue with this discussion in this post .

Will do, our fight was carried from another thread and needed resolve. It has since been resolved with Scarlet-Tech's submission. The fixes in this thread are amazing, thank you!

Gwiz187When i press up against the last fin ( with a screwdriver with insulated handle ) very gently the vibration stops,not really in the mood to RMA a card and to get the same issue back so thermal tape it is.

Good luck then and keep us posted .

Where do you usually buy such tape?,i can only find pads none of the hardware stores in the area have it.

I'ts a bit rare to find. But if you cant find it try it with a good electrical/insulating tape. Or try in the Ebay.

Well i still didn't buy it and the problem seems to be coming and going although the noise is much less now and can only be heard when i listen at the back of the case ( slight rattle ).
I'm happy with the performance of the card only i don't think i will buy anything from EVGA again or any other brand with so called  Active Cooling Xtreme,i have a XFX 6970 it's pretty loud fan wise but atleast i don't hear any mechanical issues,from browsing the forums about this issue it seems it was already reported sometime around september 2013 while i bought this GTX 770 SC ACX in november,to me not a good sign.

The funny part is someone recommended EVGA to me but i can't pass that recommendation myself.

But thanks for the help man,and when the noise really becomes annoying i will try the fix you were willing to share.

Edit: I had a laugh at the biosupdate though that was issued in the other thread..  :D,and just seeing the award specifically for the card i have for the lowest noise.

It makes you wonder while so many report problems if these awards are legitimate.

Think of the awards with logic of the rest of the world... You buy a Ferrari, and it get 5 mpg for gas, but the one they test get 17, so it gets the award for the best fuel mileage in the Ferrari line.

What every seems to think is that everyone single items coming off of every single assembly line is exactly the same. I am not saying it is fair, but severely unrealistic. Don't forget, the testers have one card, so they are awarding for that card, not for the entire line of cards. Watch the obsidian 250D reviews.. I have seen 5 so far, and two of them flat out said, this case is stupid, don't buy it... I have never seen either of those reviewers give bad feedback like that.

If a $18,000 to we'll over $1,000,000 car can come with major defects, causing it to burn to the ground, what makes people think computers parts can't? I am honestly baffled by all the whining and crying at this point. Get the *+ș( past it. RMA it or find an at home fix. If you can accept cars having problems and not a computer part, then priorities are flawed.

*not pointing the finger directly at anyone in this thread, but seriously, use some F*****G logic. *

It's not whining and crying,the way you respond however.. i just made an observation like i do now.

I think my rattle is actually coming from the end bracket itself, where the video out ports are. If I hold my finger on the bracket, when it is rattling, the rattle goes away. 

Scarlet-Tech
Do you think a small piece of thermal tape would fix it?

I don't know, but I am going to give it a try. I think, if I put a piece between my case and the bracket it might even fix it. The bracket might not be tightened down all the way. I am going to try tightening the screws first. 

My 780 Ti Classified will arrive some time around the end of February. Do I have to worry about the rattle or is there a minor probability getting a rattling 780 Ti Classified?

What exactly is the rattling noise and the coil whine? I have different types of noise coming from my 780 Classified. One that is more like a vibration (When the fan is around 60-70%) and one that is really high pitched.
