Hi,
 
As soon as I get into a game, buzzing noises are coming out of the right side of the card near the 3x8pins connectors.
 
I bought my EVGA RTX 3080 last week and since I updated the firmware with precision X1, it's buzzing.
 
I thought it was my power supply, so I got a new one Corsair HX850i. However no luck...
 
Anyone experienced the same thing? Should I RMA the graphic card ?
 
 
Thanks!

    The buzzing noise you are hearing is likely coil whine.  Coil whine doesn't just present itself as high pitch squealing like I've seen in many videos.  To test this you can try different games with different frame rates, ususally the higher the frame rate the worse it will get.  Also try cranking the fan speed up while not in a game to make sure something is wrong there.  As far as RMA, if it was loud enough to bother me, I would try and do it.

    Thanks for the answer!! gladly appreciated. I tried cranking up the fans, they are correct. However like you said, the higher the frame rates in a game, the worse it gets.
    I'll RMA the card, if you search T4WLcXnDDO4 on YT you'll find the video I made with the sound the card makes.
    Have a great day!

    I would wait a couple weeks and see if it gets better. There’s a chance if you RMA the next one is even worse.

    Some people have fixed the issue by running a benchmark for a few hours (superposition comes to mind), for others the problem vanished on its own and many people claim the problem is the PSU. i would say troubleshoot a bit before RMA.
     
    The sound from your video is the fans I did not hear coil whine. If the fans seem to loud or revving up and down in games and dont adhere to PX1 settings, then you have different problem. The sound in video though is NOT coil whine as I know it. Coil whine is an electrical scream sound like a squeal radio interference.
