I've narrowed it down to the fans as well. It's like a high pitched tone, almost like a beep. When at low speeds around 30% it's an intermittent beep sort of, when faster it's just a constant tone. Like my tinnitus is acting up or something. I've already put in a ticket last night just waiting on a response. It's honestly loud enough to where I'd RMA it. 




I'm curious do you know which fan/fans are making the noise?


I want to say the third fan, or the one under the 3080 part on the side. Could I probably take it back to the microcenter where I got it for a replacement? It'd be faster than waiting on shipping


 I don't know if Microcenter would have any stock to replace your card unfortunately.

I played around with the fan curves in precision x1 and when listening closely it sounds like the whine happens across the entire rpm range of the fan.

big yikes. Hope this isn't too common.

Yeah, I've found if that 1 fan is "on" the high pitched noise is on.  The noise is the same regardless of fan speed.

I've heard from one review that evga upgraded the fan motors.

Obviously I'll call ahead and see if they can reserve one for my return and do it then. But yeah, supply looks real bad. I'd honestly take a different model card so long as it's another 3080

Hopefully you'll be able to get yours replaced. I'm not really looking forward to having to send my card in for an RMA but I picked EVGA because I've never had a bad experience with their customer service.

Yeah a replacement would be nice, it's loud enough to where I hear it over my games and other background noise, I already have tinnitus and thought it was just that at first

Yeah doing an rma with evga maybe the best chance of a quick turn around then waiting for stores to get more.

Should get s new replacement and hopefully they can send it out right away and cover shipping both ways..

Ok, I think I'll go ahead and submit a ticket now in hopes that it can be handled pretty quickly.
