Ah, finally, now I know where that whistle like sound comes from. I changed my case, CPU, and GPU at the same time and thought it's coming from the case but I can't seem to locate the noise.
I'm on the forum because of the fan revving up and down issue.
For those that wants to control the fan through the motherboard, you can do it, but you need to cut the fan wires and connect that to a normal-sized 4-pin fan plug. If you don't want to cut the wires, you can find some wires in Fry's electronics that's the same size as the plug pins and insert it into the fan plug. I have done it with older cards that don't control the fan speed well, and it works great -- though I thought we're way pass the need to do that by now.
I haven't bought from EVGA in a long time, and I'm not too happy with this. With so many issues on release, it seems EVGA is cutting corners left and right.
