Have you tried or are you running or the new (with 'Various bug fixes')?

When uninstalling, select NOT to save settings when prompted..Then install again.

Thanks for the suggestion, I just tried them and it still overrides the fans at around 50c and starts going nuts.
 
I've tried uninstalling every piece of software and reset my bios settings too. I'm going crazy, I don't know what's going on. Been in light contact with EVGA, just want a replacement at this point as I believe I have a faulty card. On another forum, I ran into 1 other person who had very similar issues and he got a new card and that fixed it.

I believe I have a faulty card.

Yeah, maybe so.

If you haven't already, try uninstalling Precision/Afterburner, then wipe the Graphics Driver with DDU, then install the Graphics Driver again, then Precision/Afterburner..You could also request a VBIOS.exe from EVGA to flash.
 
The card should operate fine with no software such as Precision or Afterburner installed.
 
If all else fails, RMA.

Okay, the real problem may be my brain. There is a chance, and get ready to laugh at me and call me names, that the noise is actually coming from the PSU fans.
 
I have a Corsair CX750M. I'll have to play around more tomorrow after work to be sure, but I'm starting to think this may be the case. If so, please desgniate me the dumbest user on this website. I just recently upgraded to this PSU, GPU and a new CPU with a 1440p 144hz monitor for the first time. Is a PSU like this necessary to play at 1440p ~100 frames, or are there just as capable ones that run quieter (assuming this is the issue, we'll see lol).

Meh, stuff happens..Always has happened..Always will happen.

What you can do is create a Profile with a low manually fixed fan speed in Precision or Afterburner and assign a Hotkey to the Profile..When it gets loud, press the Hotkey to load the low manual fan speed Profile and see if the noise is reduced or goes away.

Don't leave the fan speed fixed though, just do that for testing purposes..You can create another Profile/Hotkey for normal fan speed operation in the same manner..Then you can simply switch between the two.
 
If it's a noisy PSU, we'll deal with that later.

Yeah.... 99% sure it's the PSU. I mostly assumed it was the GPU, as I've never heard a PSU fan like that before. I just figured since the CPU AIO is fine and a game is running, the fan noise I'm hearing simply must be the graphics card. Wasn't until I stuck my hand under the case and noticed that fan noise change and was like...... welp, ****, that's what it is. I knew it was there, just never had a problem or fan noise from the PSU before.
 
If I place it upside down with the intake fan towards the inside of the case rather than the bottom and it's much quieter. When the fan is close to a surface it causes the noise to be louder. To be fair, it's on a glass table with an AC vent right underneath, so not like it's on carpet or anything. Still louder than the GPU sometimes, but waaaaaaay better. Gonna check out another brand of PSU one day though.
 
Appreciate everyone trying to help by the way, means a lot.

There are fanless PSUs, check Seasonic..PSU prices are through the roof right now though, supply and shipping are issues too..Might just wanna deal with it for now.
 
You can put a quieter fan in the thing if you know how (not hard at all) and are willing to take the risks of injury/death associated with opening up a PSU, not to mention voiding any/all warranty..I put a quieter fan in my M12II 750, the original one drove me bonkers, or, even more bonkers

When the fan is facing upwards if the GPU is heating up it basically sucks hot air into the PSU and out the back. Whenever a case has vent/meshing at the bottom of the case, it's always recommend to place downwards to pull cool air from the outside into the PSU. Glad to hear that the sound has gone down however.

Yeah, unfortunately I'm doing it this way just to lower the sound until I get a new PSU. I just bought this CX750M 17 days ago, and and a 15 day window to return it :( Thankfully I have decent intake, am keeping an eye on the thermals and won't be playing more than an hour or two at a time right for a little but cause I've been busy, so it should be alright til I get a new one! Thanks again!

Q: Should You Mount Your Power Supply Fan Facing Up or Down?
A: Whatever works better for you/your PC

If it's better with the fan side up and you're OK with the noise, leave that way..Also, some people with a clear side panel find the idea of having the PSU sticker showing upside down absolutely abhorrent so they mount the PSU fan side up so the sticker isn't showing upside down if that's the way the sticker is put on.

FINAL UPDATE: I'm dumb, it wasn't the GPU. It was the PSU fan, which only got this loud when games ran over 60FPS on my 1440p monitor.

I purchased a Seasonic PSU that was also 750 watts, the same as my Corsair CX750M that I was having the noise issue with. The Seasonic PSU has two fan options, normal and hybrid. Both are insanely quieter than the CX750M's only mode.
My 2080 Super can finally be used to its full potential with the PSU running like a jet lol.
 
Everyone who gave me information and help along the way, thank you!!!
