Question 1

Two of these in SLI - seems to be having a coil whine.
I install newest drivers and I am witnessing weird noise. Just boot the PC, no heat on cards yet, fans on low, and I hear very annoying quiet but noticeable noise coming from fans. It doesn't sound like noisy fans; more like you would stuck something in the fan. Obviously I checked if any cable or anything is touching it. Weirdest thing - if I disable one card (whichever) thru system.. the noise is gone. I disabled first/second card, so it can't be that one is faulty. Unless both are (?) is there any settings within the card/BIOS/etc that would somewhat create such weird noise? Again, fans are at the lowest speed. Any ideas would be appreciated. Note both fans/radiators are mounted on the ceiling of the case since I have Corsair glass case, but again the noise is gone if i disable second card.

Accepted Answer

It is normal for part of the cards to have coil whine, and is related to the way the power travels through the card, how clean and shielded the current is. Some power supplies work better with certain GPUs than other, and in your cause when the load passes through both card changes the way it outputs current. In general, the higher the fps and current draw, the louder the coil whine. I had a card with louder coil whine, it was fine.

Question 2

Does anyone know if the radiator mount is 120mm or 140mm?

Accepted Answer

120 - and it works great. That said I threw on a corsair just to match the rest of my setup and no doubt the corsair is a superior fan. (The fancy mag lev ones)

Question 3

where is the third hdmi or is this a typo?

Accepted Answer

Directly opposite all the other ports.

So on the part that sticks out of the case, there is 2 HDMI, 3 display ports, 1 of the fat older ports.  And randomly on the inside of the case there is one HDMI port --- not sure what someone would use that for.  I saw that and wondered why it was there.

Question 4

The Gigabyte website says this has 1 HDMI 2.0b but it does not state in the specification on Newegg, all it says is 3xHDMI. IS any of the HDMI's a 2.0b?

Accepted Answer

There is one hdmi connection. I am not sure what the specification is. On an 800 dollar card I would assume it has the latest specification.

Question 5

Say the pump dies on this card. Does the thing become a brick?

Accepted Answer

When I bought this card I registered it with GIGABYTE, thus giving me a 4 year warranty.  Therefor, if the pump dies I will get it fixed or replaced under warranty.  After 4 years it will be obsolete, so I would just buy a better one.

Question 6

How much total draw power in watts does this have?

EVGA Kingpin has 484 Memory Bandwidth (GB/sec) while INNO3D has 501.6, what does this have?

Accepted Answer

The total power draw at stock setting from Gigabyte is 275 Watts but can be pushed to 375 Watts however I have found you really never go over even with the best over clocking to 330 Watts.

The Memory Bandwidth is set at 503.71 GB/sec

Question 7

Can anyone tell me if it's worth it to replace the fans with Nactua?  The specs for the fan doesn't list the CFM or static pressure, so I was curious if I could get lower temps with replacing the fan.

Accepted Answer

Good luck replacing the fan.  I wanted to do the same but the fan connects under the shroud and there does not seem to be any way of changing out the fan without voiding the warranty.

Question 8

I just bought it :) I am interested in doing push/pull, does anyone have fans to recommend?  I have a large case with good airflow and live in hot climate, so was looking for push/pull on the rad.

Accepted Answer

Fans are Not all the same. So with that being said, there are 2 main types AF or Air Flow and SP or Static Pressure Fans. For fans being used on Rads  "Watercooling" you really want to use SP Fans. theses fans are capable of producing enough air pressure in 1 direction without leaking out and having air moving in random directions to pass through those tightly folded fins to actually cool the water down passing through them. An AF fan will hit those fins and just bounce off them and go all over the place and not really do any thing because they cant produce enough pressure. So without making this to long 120mm SP Fan the higher the rpm of the fan the better unless you want quiet. then try to keep rpm below 2000. Now you know

Question 9

Is there anyway to replace the fan? I just dont like it doesnt have rgb at the fan making me think about replacing it.

Accepted Answer

The fan is hard wired to the main board. The wiring from the fan to the main board is behind warranty sealed covers.  Therefor, without doing surgery on the main unit (and voiding warranty) the answer is no.

Question 10

Which SLI bridge from Aorus do I need for two of these? One slot or two slot spacing? Any help would be appreciated.

Accepted Answer

The cards are 2 slot spacing so. The 2 slot option assuming they are placed next to each other with no spacing. I do have to ask though as cool as this in SLI  sounds, Why? Nvidia isn't really supporting it anymore so most gameing actually runs worse in SLI. Unless your just looking for a way to make your wallet lighter. But I could think of a few better ways to do that. And trust me 1 of these is more then enough.
