I think we're all on edge...There have been some real winners posting here lately. I sometimes lash out and realize "I was an ass" later. I hope we can all be civilized from this point forward.

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.

My 1070SC has the high pitch annoying noise when the fan speed between 1100 RPM and 1200 RPM. Should I RMA my graphics card?

Holy crap. This BIOS update dropped my temps by only like 5 degrees, but jesus christ its like a 747 sitting next to me this is ridiculous MSI afterburner reading 6000 RPMs!!!!!!!! Spiking like crazy!!!!

That is weird. I'm on the latest bios, no where near 6000RPMs.

even at 100% that would be 3500-3600rpms

3120rpm with the new BIOS... wow. That is loud.

unfortunately my problem seems to stem even further. I've tried installing older drivers and using other programs to set the fan curve but nothing fixes these RIDICULOUS spikes!

Not with 3 kids, my wife and 11 case fans and 65 gal. cichlid tank in the same room as the PC....lol

Replaced the VRAM and mosfet pads today with 1.5mm Phobia ones and contact was much better.
 
On a side note, what brand pads are EVGA using  I've never come across a pad that's been so greasy and leaves so much residue on anything it contacts. I've used EK branded pads, Thermal Grizzly, Alphacool, Heatkiller and Koolance but none of them have or leave this nasty greasy residue. Not sure if i't a good thing but it's a pain in the ass to clean off. Had to go over the VRAM several times using Arctic Silver ArtiClean to remove the greasy film it left behind.
