All cards have coil whine but at different volume levels and tones. Also depends on gpu work load. So no way to tell until you get the card if its better. My amp whines but cant hear it over the case fans so not an issue. You have to sit with your ear to the card to hear it whining.
 
Happy days!!

Pair of MSI 980ti G1's

Got them fitted last night, which required a complete drain of the loop, removing the 290x's and then a rejig of the loop as these will be on air for a bit.

Any idea if the 'reference' full cover blocks will fit this card? No signs of a specific one listed anywhere yet.

New around these parts... This beast arrived Tuesday:

Clocks to 2000MHz memory and 1470MHz boost, anything higher caused crashes. Didn't seem to be using higher than 109% power even under 4K load though.

However it has awful coil whine, but I've learnt that's a common occurrence with the Windforce models.

Do you know if Zotac have an RMA centre in the UK? And if they accept bad coil whine as a fault? I've had far too many cards with terrible terrible coil whine to not be cautious about returns policies.
 
So i have a G1 Gaming and when i first tried to OC it at all it would artifact in Ungine Heaven, now for some reason i am able to run a substantial OC and there is no artifacts at all :S..

Stock boost (1353Mhz)

Core V +50
Power Limit +130
Core Clock +100

OC Boost (1479MHZ - 1230mV)

After it reaches above 70c it will drop to 1466Mhz - 1205mV)

No sorry. I think rma is in europe. As for coil whine if it is loud enough to hear over case fans i would say no one could refuse it. Pretty sure first year retailer has to handke the rma anyway?

Best way to be sure is ask in the CS forum.

Yes, but if check all the t&c it says the product needs to be returned as new, not used, where as the old policy was satisfaction which is not the same, they now reserve the right to charge a restocking fee... Shouldn't be a problem for a genuine complaint like coil whine, but the new policy isn't as favourable as the old one
