Re: High Pitched Tone after Installing 3080 XC3 Gaming

The concern to me is that the user's that have the issues most likely bought from Micro Center as they already have their cards. I ordered mine directly from EVGA and another card from Newegg. Both won't arrive until Wednesday. Having to potentially RMA both cards due to a potential manufacturing defect out the gate is rough. EVGA has amazing customer service from what I've dealt with in the past and I believe that they will make it right. Quick turn around for a card might be tough if it is a manufacturing defect though as just straight up swapping the card for a different new in box wouldn't fix the issue.
Does everyone have XC3 Ultra's that have the issue or is it also affecting XC3 Black or XC3 Gaming cards?

Are you using the new 30 series PX1? I can't slide my fan curve below 30% even with "enable custom curve" checked?
Ensure you're using v1.1.0 then click the arrow here twice: [Forum prevented me from posting this image] then once you're on the screen below ensure the button pointed at is enabled, you may additionally need to disable the auto button and unlink the fans as seen in the first image: [Forum prevented me from posting this image] also wanted to say I have confirmed it is indeed the same fan for me that is happening to everyone else which is nice to know we're all on the same page coil whine jabs aside. I also attempted to apply light pressure to the center of the fan as per recommendation for older cards with fan issues in this forum, but I haven't really noticed a difference in the ringing of the beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep.

Mine is an XC3 Ultra that I got off of newegg. It seems to always be the same fan and same card from what I've seen.

Same situation Hellacious bought one from Newegg and friend purchased one from EVGA directly. My Newegg one is the XC3 Gaming, friend's is the XC3 Black but has not received the card yet.

I'm hoping that RMA will be the solution and whatever is sent back doesn't have the same issue. Maybe its just a bad batch of cards or something like that.

I'm hoping they just send a replacement fan honestly. It's a few Philips screws and a small connector sending the whole card back for RMA seems like overkill and an inconvenience, either way I'm sure EVGA will make things right for us.

I agree with that but in the past it seems you have to send the whole card in for 1 fan.

They never have in the past.. swap whole card or cooler is an option I believe. Hopefully they quickly figure out the issue and make it right.

I'd be happy with having options. I would be more than willing to pay the difference and upgrade to a FTW3 Ultra if those don't have the issue.

This is probably a design issue where the turbulence from the fan is interacting with the cooling fins and causing a buzz or squeal type noise. The same issue with the PWM fans on the Hybrid shroud on the 1080 Ti.

I imagine if turbulence was an issue the noise would change along with fan speed, which isn't the case.

I doubt it. If that were the case it wouldn't be a constant sound as the fan ramps up from zero. This is 100% the fan electronics or the power delivery for them.

You would be surprised what kind of noise you can get. On the 1080 ti, the PITCH does not change only the timbre and volume. Most here are saying it DOES change, so I don't know what you're on about. El_beastador

It isn't constant though and and PWM fan noise also changes with RPM. Not sure why folks are not making technically accurate comments. Come on, it is just a theory based on experience. Lastly, as far as I know, all three fans are identical. So, the theory of it being a defective FAN would seem unlikely as the LOCATION is the common denominator not the type or model of fan.

It is consistent when the fan is being powered. Others have reported this as well. When the noise is "beeping" this is in a stage where the fan is switching on and off, which I have noticed happening some during idle. I've tested different loads and fan curves - if the fan is powered, it makes the noise. If you kill the fan, the noise stops even though the fan has not spun down yet.

RTX 3080 XC3 3rd Fan Coil Whine / Buzzing Noise MEGATHREAD
2020/09/19 14:09:45
(permalink)
Well boys looks like this is a bigger issue then we think. I was one of the few that lined up and got an evga card. My XC3's third fan has a buzzing/coil whine noise. This has been narrowed down as i have stopped it with my finger and the noise goes away and the other two fans are fine. Contacted EVGA support and they told me RMA is the only sollution (Good luck with that). Is there any way we can rally together and get some replacement fans? Or is this going to be a deshroud and noctua flex?

It is constant as the fan speeds up from zero. It becomes intermittent/rhythmic at a stable speed. I'm not making this up, I've got my face right in front of my card as it beeps at me.

Who said you're making anything up? What happened to our educational system and the ability to read? I simply said you can be surprised at what noises you can get.

any way we can get nvidia support on this thread lol. Dropping 1200 Canadian Pesos for something with an obvious defect kinda sucks a bit. I know the support is great but RMAing a card right now is like sending it off to a viking burial god knows when ill see one again.

That's unlikely. Nvidia wouldn't do anything about faulty fans on aib models.

As I posted above in a edit. As all three fans are identical as far as I know, the fact that everyone is reporting the same fan POSITION as being the problem would seem to rule out the FAN being the issue and it being either interference or issues with the PWM controller.

I think the fan position for most reports so far is a coincidence. For example, my problem fan is the middle fan. Our sample size right now is just super small.

Same issue. I made a megathread for it. Got my 3080 XC3 Ultra from Canada computers. Third fan buzzes and whines like a donkey. We need some kind of fix for this dont like spending 1200 canadian pesos on something that has a lemon of a fan
