The other day I ordered a hybrid kit for my 3080 xc3 ultra. It came in today and I spent around 6 hours installing it since this is my first time doing this kind of thing. After installing it and booting up my pc for the first time, the card was super loud, but went into X1 to change my custom fan curve and it was a bit more bearable. I did a bit more research and found out that it was normal to have it really loud for the first few minutes after first booting the pc with the new card installed, to let the air get pushed out of the pump and whatnot. But after a few hours and a bit of gaming the card never did get any quieter. After doing a bit more research I found that a few other people were having noise issues with their cards as well. In my case the noise is about the same thing but mine isn't as loud as is more bearable, but still there. When I am gaming or watching videos or anything of the sort I can't hear it, but if I take off my headphones or even have them on with nothing playing the noise is super annoying. This is really bugging me since I bought this kit to have a quieter and cooler experience + I don't want to have to RMA the kit since this took me so long to install. Any suggestions on how I could fix this noise or anything of the sort?
