Small price to payI came home and found mine in bed with my wife
Absolutely the worst launch ever.
Kids, before you "borrow" you're daddies credit card for that shiny 5090, think about this:
Even if you were to steal it and commit murder with your brick(ed) of a GPU, you still wouldn't have it paid off by the time you got out of prison.
This is more a general lesson on credit cards. Buy and get the protection and 1 month interest free then clear it.Kids, before you "borrow" you're daddies credit card for that shiny 5090, think about this:

I’ve just purchased a 5070Ti. My 4080 is going to my wife so I needed something comparable. MrsHB needed her PC and I need mine. Overpaid of course but bought from a an actual retailer with actual stock. This will be the last nvidia card I buy for at least 3 years, and then will explore the AMD/Intel offerings. I was waiting for a 5090FE, but simply can’t be bothered and play older titles.

On another note... bring back the coil whine, this clicking is winding me up already:
For now at least, but if it is still doing this (or worse) in a week...
I'm sure I can drown the noise out, but it does leave me wondering what exactly is happening for it to click like that. It is doing it while the fans are completely idle.
At this point I'm assuming the sound is coming from the GPU... if it is still making the noise after work tomorrow, I'll open up the case to confirm it is definitely coming from that and not a different part of the PC. Would be nice to find out if is just a dodgy case fan or something lol.
That doesn't sound very well - dodgy fan was my guess too. I guess the question is whether it's a GPU fan or a case fan.
I'll try that first then.
Can't be GPU fan, still making the noise when they aren't moving.

Question for those who have returned GPUs before.
If you were within the 14 day return window, did you just return the GPU to OCUK/the retailer without any questions asked? I know it is part of the distance selling rules, but some retailers kick up a fuss more than others when it comes to returning opened products from my experience.

Have you managed to find other people with the card to ask? I know some people in America have got the OC version on launch because microcentre had it, so you could check with them to see if they have it.
