Hey guys

I managed to get my 3080 ftw ultra last week and have begun overclocking it. So far it’s been a fantastic card with some pretty amazing scores just on air. However, under full load whilst stress testing I begin to hear what sounds like a scratchy ticking noise? It’s hard to explain but It does kind of resemble an old hard drive when it’s on its way out. I’m just wondering if anyone else is having these issues?

When I received my card I never had any firmware updates so I assume it’s the latest firmware, as I have been reading the forums and noticed the xc3 had some bad coil whine or fan problem. But Yh I’m just curious as to what this noise is and is anyone else experiencing this?

    Same. I’m going to water cool so not much of an issue for me. It is pretty annoying and I wouldn’t be happy left as is.
