Just tried the MSI,
this thing overclocks like crazy and stays extremey cool and quiet, very impressive.
+ 500 on mem and + 200 on clock easy without messing around, im sure it will do more

Mine is currently sat at 1582rpm (34%), gpu temp is 24c
So looks like there are 2 revisions of Gigabyte cards.
One with 980 and one with 1580 rpm at idle.

Well guys it looks like I am one of the unlucky ones.
I can't get mine stable on +130 core + 400 mem with voltage cranked right the way up.
Titanfall driver crashes to desktop & Tomb Raider will show artifacts at about +140 core.
So for now I've dialled back to +100 core with max voltage for max boost & see how it goes. Is there anything I'm missing or have I just lost out on the old silicone lottery

What's you're max oc with stock voltage? Extra voltage often causes instability on these cards.

Stable at +100 core stock volts but haven't pushed further without adding voltage

Did you also raise the power limit?

Yep, good or bad for stability?

No that's fine, what I would do is set the power limit to max, see how far you can get at stock volts concentrating on the core 1st, then rinse and repeat on the memory, once you've reached your stable max on both then start adding a touch of voltage & try push a little further.

Does the 980 idle at a completely different speed?

980 has lower rpm mate.

Wouldn't be surprised if you couldn't go higher on memory
I'm at +700 stable in games at the moment

So just had an email from OCUK customer services saying that coil whine is not covered for returns as the card 'still works'
********....
********....

Surprised they didn't mention that before hand really.

Worth selling it 2nd hand and buying a new card?

If that's the case, I may well go for a 980 instead
Soldato
How noticeable is it with your case cover on etc....?
Thankfully I have never expeienced that and the MSI 970GTX I have is whine free. Someone posted a YouTube vid which had recorded the coil whine from their Asus card and for me that would definitely not be a keeper.
What are you going to do now..?

It's noticible... Obviously it's going back as it wasn't put in the description that it has coil whine.
So it was miss sold and miss advertised.

If it's extreme then demand that you want to send it back, don't be palmed off. Gibbo said himself a couple of times on here in the past few weeks that coil whine is a fault.
