Hello! I just got my 3080 Hybrid in time for the new years, excellent card, very happy, except it seems to make a lot of noise by the pump on idle. Kind of sounds like a mini fridge. I’ve read multiple posts threads on all the EVGA hybrid cards and I can’t gather whether to RMA the card because it’s defective or just accept that’s how it is going to be. So much back and forth. I use my PC for more than just gaming so if I’m working on spreadsheets that noise is going to drive me up a wall. My CPU AIO doesn’t make that much noise. Is this normal? I’ve tried taking the whole thing out, shaking it to burp for air bubbles (keeping radiator above the pump at all times) etc. Below is the video, you need to add https:// to watch: youtu.be/txJ7vm6KvKo Thanks! Happy New Year! edit Cool GTX insert YouTube video

On idle? My pump made a similar noise but when I hit it with load it all but went away, and not because it was being drowned out by fans increasing in speed.

Correct! On idle, and it is drowned out by the fans/game noise in my case. I know these pumps run at 100% all the time.

So, I adjusted my CPU AIO fan curves to kinda drown out the sound at idle, does anyone else that has the hybrid cards have this much noise at idle?

I also rma'd my cooler 2 times and the third one also had horrible noise after 3 months. Did the magnet trick and same here, you lose a few degrees but it's whisper quiet again.

Cant see how the radiator is mounted in your video - Horizontal or verticle - Are the hoses at the bottom ? everyone's interpretation of different sounds is just that ... hybrids are Not totally silent  your video Open Case & inches from the pump ..... Not exactly what I would call an excessively noise pump ... yes I hear that sound Have you tried raising & shaking the radiator, while system was running ? Shutdown, unplug radiator fans, unmounted radiator, hold with hoses at lowest point & above GPU - then restart PC .... the Hybrid pump will run even before you enter Windows The harmonics of the assembled PC & placement of the PC have a large impact on "sound quality" "acoustic footprint" Placing the PC directly at ear level on or near your desk is just not a good choice if near silent is the goal  For those that are unaware Asetek makes the AIO units used/ sold by EVGA & many other brands I do know that cavitation can be the single biggest reason for a noisy pump Directly from Asetek site: How to: Quiet a Noisy AIO Liquid Cooling pump from Asetek How you handle & mount the AIO system can make an impact.

Best thing to do would be to do a cross ship rma, and then just swap the coolers with the card evga sends you.

Just to note that I did this 2 times. All of the coolers eventually developed the same noise (first two after 2 months, the third around 4 months). I got tired of rma'ing and losing money on the shipment, and did the magnet mod, and that solved the issue with minimal loss of performance. Not ideal but these coolers just aren't good. Evga knows it and that is why the warranty is only for 1 year vs 5 years on the CLC coolers.
