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.


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.

I'm planning on just swapping it for another whenever Microcenter gets more in stock.

This is also how I am experiencing it. I wish I could link video but my account is restricted.

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

Can someone post a YouTube vid of this or is it too difficult to capture
