**GOT AN EVGA GRAPHICS RELATED QUESTION OR NEED SUPPORT - ASK HERE!!**

I think I have just about given up on the 780 series now. My 780ti at stock playing crysis 3 has to drop the clocks to under 850Mhz to keep the card under 83.c. It should be a min of 928Mhz. It boosts itself to 1020Mhz but soon clocks down quickly as the temps rise. It will run with 1250 on the core but hits the thermal limit very quickly and throttles back.

It also has bad coil whine even with V-sync on it still buzzes and farts away.

Considering this is a £500+ GPU so far I have not been very impressed. Gaming on this card involves loud fan noise and a buzzing card it's hardly fun.

I miss my old 7970 with accelero cooler. :)

This Ti is useless it has to down clock itself so far to keep cool the performance is appalling. You can tell the difference in game when in clocks down it's not a nice experience. The coil whine is also bad I even tried a different PSU last night just to be sure but it's the same. Even when V-synced at 60Fps it buzes and pops and the fan runs over %65 as it struggles to keep it under 83.c.

I'm thinking the card is more than likely faulty but 3 in a row really ? I'm starting to doubt my own abilities tbh. Amazon have agreed to replace it again but tbh at the moment the PS4 is looking very appealing... :)
 
This is the first 780 series card I've heard of having issues. just your luck moogleys. I just bought 2 EVGA 780's and they run like a dream.

I went through 4 AMD gpu's. 3 7950's and 1 7970. 4 in a row. So it does happen. It's what made me green. haven't looked back ever since :)

Have you thought it might be your CPU throttling if 3 different cards have done it? if your CPU throttles the card will probably do too due to CPU bottleneck.

CPU is a 4770k with H100i and SP120 PWM fans. It runs 4.6Ghz and is fine under IBT and OCCT.

The 780Ti is getting very hot which is causing it to throttle. It sucks air direct through a vent in my case so plenty of air. I have removed the sides and top to test but it makes no difference.

Playing non demanding games it runs ok but fire up Crysis 3, Last light or BF4 it down clocks badly as it hits the 83.c thermal limit. The fan needs to be around %75 to keep it at 82.c which is very loud.

Lol guy is going to try and blag a titan black.:D

Why don't you get one with an after market cooler, they run quieter and cooler than reference.

I'm going for a Titan Z... :)

I had a Ti before that did not run this loud or hot. My case is a Corsair 250D so reference is better. I might give it a re application of thermal paste and see if that makes things better. Hopefully it's all that is needed.
 
Hi, have you also already inspected the PSU? If the cards do run hot and need to get downclocked it can also be possible that the spikes at the output are too big, this can occur issues like this.
 
Hi, I have tried a different PSU with the same results. I have another 780ti arriving today so will be able to compare and work out what is going on.
 
New 780Ti arrived this morning and at last all is working as expected. No down clocking at stock and the temps are better with lower fan noise. The card cools down quicker as well after use.

This card is an EVGA built card compared to the last which was NVIDIA but I'm just glad finally all is working ok.

One thing that is weird is the EVGA ti does not have black fins just the normal silver ones whereas the NVIDIA card had all black fins on the heatsink ? Not that it really matters.

Morning evga reps :)

Not a GPU question but still about evga!

Are we likely to see stock of the z97 classified in Europe on NDA lift day? I've been reading very very good things about the z87 classy and can only presume the z97 will be even better!
 
Hi,

you can ask here question about all of our products :) not only GPUs....
We are not ready for launch, the Classy board will get available in the UK at the beginning of next month.

Looks like you got the 780 HS, send it back!

Hello @EVGAdominik

I today received my first EVGA graphics card, the 780 ti SC ACX cooler edition. Setup perfect. However.

When the fan speed hits around the 40% mark, which can be seen in PrecisionX this nasty whine and rattling comes from the card.

The temperatures/performance is perfect but this noise is incredibly frustrating. I've tried leaving Unigine Valley running for an hour (as I wondered whether it would be a wear-in that would go away) but this doesn't appear to be the case.

Has anyone experienced this before or have any possible solutions? I chose this product over a botched Gigabyte GTX 780Ti GHZ edition that was falling over at max clock speed! I think my luck is well and truly running out.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Bumping this question to rep x
 
Hello sh33pst3r,

sorry I did miss the originally request.
What you can try in this case is to run the fan for half an hour on 100% and have a look if the problem will dissapear. If it will not help we can offer to replace the cooler.
If this is required it would be best if we can go over this by phone. You can call us at 0049 89 189 049 11 or you can send me your number to [email protected] then I will give you a call back, please put then a copy of this post to the mail.

@ Raven
as I know we did just take the silver ones because there is no rule how the fins have to look like. The quality and performance of this "HS" is the same like the black ones.
I will double check this to make sure there is no issue.

Thank you Dominik.

I will try this tonight and let you know the results. I'll just use PrecisionX to set the fans at 100%.

Afternoon Dominik.

I have a Hydro Copper Waterblock for my GTX780 Classifieds and noticed whilst removing one of the fittings it's also removed the threads of the block with it. I find this odd as they weren't in that tight.

Where do I stand with this?
