The new fixed pump has etched in logo onto pump. The old whiny version has a sticker. Easy way to tell what you have.
lol was just about to say that, just noticed it in the guys video comments.

From what i read, all new stock should have the pump noise fixed. And the coil wine is a sign of a bad power supply or Noisy power lines in your area. You can fixed the noisy power lines by using a Power Conditioner.
Has someone somewhere really suggested it is the local power grid causing these problems?
I hope it is rubbish and is a misquote from somewhere that has been picked up on.
I think people expecting huge gains from DX12 are going to be disappointed unless they are running a older/slow CPU. As seen from my BF4 video, pretty much the same with Mantle and DX11 in frames.
and as seen from my experience i7 3930k @ 4ghz with stock 290x runs dx at ~80fps, while mantle shoots up at 120fps constant. How is that for disappointment? m?
"I will say, though, that the microphones and speakers involved in recording and playing back this sound don't seem to capture entirely the frustrating character of the high-pitched whine. Something about it puts my monkey brain on edge, as if a teeny, tiny version of nails on a chalkboard were playing constantly in the background."
, this I can relate to - I literally turned it on - didn't even wait for it to boot to windows before shutting down & taking apart my PC. Was a simple case of ... NOPE....
If AMD confirm this will be fixed for the next revision I'll wait, otherwise jump ship - shame they seem to be engaged in a communication blackout regarding this issue (apart from that one BS statement about it being fixed for retail versions).
You could have at least attempted to try and work the air out and see if that resolved anything.

Hehe, no worries - if I hadn't read up on it & it was any other sound I'd have tested it further - but I knew exactly what to expect from researching a load of other comments/videos online.You could have at least attempted to try and work the air out and see if that resolved anything. EDIT: I realized that sounded quite harsh... I just meant that you could have tried a few things before just throwing in the towel with it so quickly.
I was running a bath earlier and I could swear I could still hear it
