This is somewhat annoying... The BIOS changed the fan speed so that now it's quite often between 1100 RPM and 1200 RPM. However... At that range fan motors makes somewhat annoying noise and it's much more audible than even at 1350 RPM.

So I didn't imagine it. My 1070SC has the same strange whirring noise at exactly 33% (1210rpm) in EVGA Precision. At 32% (1170rpm) and 34% (1240rpm) there's no noise. Very odd.
Thankfully on my card the fans remain below 1100rpm @64C, which is the max temp in the games I tested. Maybe because I have a sidemounted fan in my case pointed directly at the graphics card?

In my case it makes that annoying noise at 32% and 33%. So it looks like it's a "feature" of this particular fan.

As soon as you open that link is the accessory list....note the "3 x VRAM Thermal Pads" illustration.
That is followed with disassembly instructs etc.
Reading is fundamental

Don't be cheeky mate. Quite capable of reading some very simple instructions.
 
When I click on that link I go to the original installation guide (IE. there are only two thermal pads mentioned). And these are the ones that go on the front and the back of the VRM area. No mention of 3xVRM thermal pads. Looks like you are linking to something other than what I get (somehow).

You are mistaken mike.....

Don't think I am friend. The pads in the linked installation guide are for cooling the VRM area. The VRAM modules are under the centre plate surrounding the GPU.
 
The guide that Jacob links to is the original guide and has been around for a week or more.

 
Here, since you obviously don't read good.
 

5) Remove the baseplate and set it aside. Peel off the 8 (eight) VRAM thermal pads on the baseplate, outlined in red.
...
8) Install the included VRAM thermal pads directly to the memory chips, making sure to remove the plastic on both sides.

Don't be so damn rude. Try reading the last post I just put up. Everyone tries so hard to be a smart Vulgar language removed on this forum.
 
The guide I go to when clicking on the link gives:
 
5) Next, apply the “Narrow” thermal pad to the
area marked in the image. Remove the plastic
on one side and place the thermal pad strip
over the area outlined in the image. Finally,
remove the plastic from the other side of the pad.
The baseplate should look like this when
finished:
Make sure that the thermal pad does not
extend beyond the edges of the baseplate
 
...........
 
8) Once the backplate is off, turn it
over and remove the outlined
rubber standoffs:
 
So somehow, I'm still linking to the old guide.

Maybe call your ISP because you're on a different internet than everybody else. Or maybe just try clearing your internet cache/history When I click on it it goes to the new updated instructions. When I clicked on it 2 hours ago on my phone it went to the new updated thermal mod instructions. I'm not rude. You're wrong and belligerent.

No I'm not. Folks like you just like trying to be SMART. And usually fail miserably. Have a nice day.
 
PS. Not being "hostile and aggressive" ... everyone makes mistakes mate. I apologize if I've offended you

You are right...I was indeed being a bit on the "cheeky" side and I apologize
Yup...somehow you are getting old/archived info. Mebbe flush your history?

Suspect that you are right. Not been a good day mate. Sorry, I apologize.

Could you be seeing a cached copy or something?  Because when I open the guide from that link, the VRAM pads are shown and there is an entire section that shows removing the baseplate, removing the old VRAM pads, and installing the new ones.
 
The guide has been updated for the VRAM pads.  Not sure why you aren't seeing it -- but I'm guessing the old version is cached on your machine so you aren't getting the new version.

Hey...who knows. Maybe some other posters may learn from our civilized discourse here

You are all correct. Cleared recent history and now pick up the correct .pdf.
Thanks guys. Think I'll go and have a stiff whisky, think I need to chill
