looks as clean as it needs to be and Noctua thermal paste is great stuff.

You could try pulling the heat sink off and see how well the thermal paste is spreading. If its not spreading well you can always add some small plastic washers on the back to improve contact to the gpu dye.

Nice! I'm glad you were able to get it to work. I have never heard of ram causing coil whine before.

Well I'm glad you finally found out what was wrong. Pulling out the motherboard and replacing it would be a real pain.

They plugged it into a test system and it didn't have any coil whine?

I would give this a try. Delete all of those drivers and just do a fresh driver install.

4x the specs of a titan on a single card. That would be one power hungry beast of a card.

This would be quite difficult considering the many years of architectural research and develop that goes into creating graphics cards. Theoretically, assuming you weren't constrained by either time or money. Not to mention, getting them to even agree to create and develop such a gpu for just one individual. I guess you could technically get a graphics card with an insane amount of graphics processing power. How powerful? I really don't know.

2700x you'll get 8 cores with hyper threading and have extra money left over.

lower than this?

That's interesting, are you going to try one of these methods to try and fix it yourself?

It's good ram, I looked up your mobo specs and it says it supports 3600mhz non-ecc, un-buffered memory up to 64gb. So yeah, should work totally fine.

Let us know what happen. Really interested to hear what Sapphire does about it.

I wish you the best that's some of the worst coil whine I've ever heard.

Are you returning it or waiting for a reply from sapphire?
