kikngIt's really annoying to me, there's definitely a buzz that destroys the silence that was there before. My computer sits on a desk maybe 4-5ft away In a quiet room, even with the tv quietly in the background, there's a noticeable "buzz/hum". I've spent hours tuning my fans so there's no harmonic whines or un-necessary utilization, and I like my system quiet. The hybrid kit I put on my 3080 is definitely a double-edged sword. Right now, ambient temp 21.6c, I can run 2025Mhz core +200 Mem, 1.144v while maintaining temps in the 60-74c range (across all sensors) whereas before on air, I would be at 1855Mhz for the same temp range (fans capped at about 1600rpm, .886v). Everything is housed in a O11DXL with the GPU in a vertical mount. Yes the pump is lower than the top of the rad, and yeah I shook things a bit to get any air bubbles moving.

fugly16Mine has a buzz to it. It's only noticeable when idle and case fans aren't above 30%. When I'm gaming and the fans get going I don't notice it anymore. I have my case on top of my desk next to my monitor so if it was below my desk I'm sure I wouldn't notice it at all.
kringMy FTW3 hybrid has absolute zero noise... dead silent even with ear to the card. Those with noise - did you mount correctly? radiator tubs down low if front/rear mounted and the top of the radiator higher than the card? or radiator installed top of the case? this is most common cause of noise is air in the pump.
kikngok, video of my 3080 FTW3 Ultra:
mrshrirwhat about connecting the pump with a MINI GPU cable to 4PIN, and powering it off the motherboard with a curve starting at 60%, i did this back with my 2080TI HYBRID, had no issues, and the buzzing noise disappeared

All Hybrid pumps probably sound like this, and while I am one of them, some people seem to be more sensitive to it than others.
mrshrir there is an adapter, (I have it) you connect to to the pumps cable, and run the cable through the shroud out to the motherboard, then set the fan header on the board to DC MODE, all the pump to work at 60% at low temps (according to cpu , for example) and then make sure at higher temps like over 50-60c of the cpu, that it gets up to 100%, i did this on my 2080TI HYBRID
Dabadger84I am not having any noticeable "noise" issues with my FTW3 Hybrid 3090. I cannot hear it at all unless I stick my ear almost directly on the exhaust-area of the GPU slots, and even then, it's not that loud. I know some folks have had bad pump noise, most of those probably warrant an RMA. One in particular was definitely a bad pump. But I think the majority of people have not had noise issues thus far.
shoumpavlisI had to RMA my card due to buzzing noise at idle. Im starting to think this is the norm which is a dealbreaker for me.

Did you just submit a ticket or did you get approved?
