Seems all the blower fan versions have been removed, strange that all the vendors are doing the same thing. Can only assume either nvidia rejected the blower design or vendors webt about trying to do a blower version and discovered it was struggling to keep the card cool.

Had read an article that said Nvidia asked the partners to remove the design as they want to use that design on some crypto mining cards that they plan on releasing.

Mine is pretty bad too. Not had a chance to out it through its paces thoroughly yet. I'm on a SF 1200W Platinum so I can't imagine it's PSU related.
it is a shame that. 2/3 3090s FEs I have had whine. As you say the cooler on it is exceptional so unfortunate. Power supply does play a part sometimes, other times can be down to the sample you get. I do find it reduces over time on ones did whine, but not to satisfying levels.
I think I have some coil whine, you can kind of hear it if looking out for it, but it goes without saying, coil whine under load is far far more preferable to coil whine under idle which is an issue I used to have in my PC, at least under load fans ramp up and drown it out, plus when under load I usually have headphones on in a game so wouldnt hear it anyway.

No coil wine from my 3080 at all under stress or idle, I had a 980ti that sealed a bit when idle but not under load most odd
Haven't noticed any on my 3080 either. Unfortunately it's less efficient for mining than the 3070 (not the main reason I got it, but fun to play with). Still haven't had time to try a game on it, or my video editing stuff (soldering and programming all day).
Thats a tight squeeze
right?
. Yeah so a 90 would have been power tools (which I need anyway to get front cooling working - the hard drive bay is in the way of that too (sigh)). it's an old case .does anyone know of a super compact case than can still take an ATX board (X570 Tomahawk) and a 3080? I might need it to be portable down the line so a strong handle would be good.

Maybe a cooler master Q500L? You'd have to get a short sfx psu to fit round the 3080 I think, but looks like it could work. Still not exactly portable though and doesn't have a handle.
Edit: a lot chunkier but the cooler master HAF XB evo might be worth a look too. Does actually have carrying handles, and better airflow.

Interesting thanks. I guess if I want much smaller I'd need to jump to a smaller mobo. I've only just got this one fully tweaked out though ...
thanks but I'm thinking closer to this: (76) Our Smallest Gaming PC Build EVER! - Velkase Velka 3 - YouTube. Won't get a 3070 or 80 in there though
. sooo cool though, maybe for a 2nd lower-power build some day (Linus got an 8 core in there so pretty good).EDIT: actually maybe a 70 would fit, hmm ...
