GPU has developed a rattling noise when the fan is about 70%.

Contacted OcUK about getting it looked at under warranty.

Presume I can run my monitor off the 9700K iGPU while the 2060 is off for RMA?

GIgabyte rep on here if needs be as well. if its taking some time- they can chase it up

Should be fine with your monitor - the board has both DP and HDMI.

Very tidy build.

Good to know and thanks

Could come in handy. Is the rattling noticeable in the video? It's much easier to hear in person.

Is it related to that intermittent clicking that starts almost immediately as the video starts?

If that initial clicking is coming from the GPU it could be a protruding wire catching the fan - and as it speeds up emulates the sound of a rattle.

Have you had the card out to examine - it may be a simple fix?

That's me clicking the mouse and setting it to 70% fan speed. After than it's a constant noise. There are no cables under the GPU. Also took out the GPU and gave it a blow, couldn't see anything.

noise in the blades at 100% load .

some of Gigabytes cards had issues with pulsing speeds, that they rolled out Bios's- partly with help from UK rep on getting the issue sorted

not sure if same thing @GIGA-Man has helped on in the past?

Ah, then from your initial description it sounds like the right call to RMA if it's developed over time.

Orbi's, suggestion is worth a shot - there was certainly an issue with a small number of 2080Ti and @GIGA-Man tried to get a resolution. Although, i think that was an annoyance with fan interruption/engaging indiscriminately (was it the Quartz thread Orbi?).

EDIT: This one? - Clicky

This sounds more like a bearing noise if I had to guess. Sending the video over to OcUK now.

GPU is out and packaged up. I'm hoping it doesn't take too long to sort it.

Takes gigabyte max 5 days. All depends on how long OCUK send it to them and vise versa. So it's nice having gigabyte rep on here if you notice two weeks have skipped by and no word..

If you lived in Milton Keynes you can actually drop it off lol

GIGA-Man · 21 Jun 2019 at 12:22

Any issues, just let me know and I'll look into it if I can.

Thanks. Just landed at OcUK today. May have been easier for me to drop it at MK

@LiE

Would you maybe help me with something, please? I'm considering the same case but a different PSU due to wanting 750W but the Corsair SF750 is too expensive. I'm wanting to know if I instead go with a PSU that has a length of 140mm (rather than the 100mm of your PSU) would there still be a little room for air to come up beside the PSU? Could you measure or take a decent guess? I'd greatly appreciate it!

LiE · 24 Jun 2019 at 22:36

I've actually just sold this PC, but you should be fine from what I remember.

gronf · 24 Jun 2019 at 23:28

Ah, okay - thanks.

I'm actually looking to get the 210 refresh but I didn't want to mention it to cause you buyer's remorse or something about the 200. Kidding. However, the 210 has more holes on the PSU shroud, so even if I don't end up with much air coming from the bottom, those extra shroud holes should help still.

How about one of these instead of the two different drives.

It also has the benefit of being faster and having more storage.

Welcome.

Top tip - look at date of original post and scan/read entire thread before posting, especially when pages long.

Renewed interest · 26 Jun 2019 at 08:03

@Plec I made the mistake of thinking all posts on the front page are recent will definitely have to look harder before posting again.

No worries - easily done when new to the boards. A lot of new members do this and probably for the reasons you described (useful to know).

We all get alerts when someone posts (those subscribed to the thread) - I only mentioned it as this was 7 pages long - no harm/no foul etc - but figured it would be useful info.

I have no other top tips - other than avoid posting in the CPU forum - specifically the Zen 2 thread and when that's finally imploded i would then avoid the Zen 3 thread. They're great to scan through as some interesting thoughts/facts - but if you post you will inevitably butt heads with someone with an agenda which can cause frustration (**** you off).

Hey @GIGA-Man it's been nearly 3 weeks, are you able to see what's happening? Thank you.

GIGA-Man · 11 Jul 2019 at 10:16

What's the RMA number you were given? I'll have to check it with OCUK to see when it got sent back to us.
