Had mine in for a couple of days now. When I first fired it up it had a terrible whine - really high pitch and loud. I was gutted.
I was prepared to send it back but I was curious how it performed so I had a session playing one heavily GPU bound game (Survarium) - 100% load for a couple of hours.
To my surprise by the time I was done the whine was gone. If I take the side panel off and put my ear right up to it I can still hear the whine but it's really a non-issue now. The pump is louder than the corsair H55 on my cpu but still it just sounds like a pump.
I don't know if it's settled down with a run in or if it's just killed off that part of my hearing range, but whatever, I'm happy
Only issue is that *any* whine whatsoever will absolutely kill any projected s/hand value for them (it'll be the first question people will ask)
