So I have this Refrence gtx 1080 with the ACX 3.0 from evga and every once and a while the card starts providing a loud coil whine. This is my second card and I still can RMA it. What should I do? Will I voide warranty to check if it didnt have thermal pads?

You can see if it has thermal pads (I assume you mean the one for the VRMs) through the backplate. I think the pad should be behind the E and the V.

But you can't give EVGA crap for the VRM issue. They made a mistake, yes. But they stand up for it, and provide a solution for everyone who gets back to them, without charging the customer. This is huge in my oppinion.

 

Please quote me in any answers to my posts, so that I can read them easily and don´t forget about them. Thanks!

RMA it and get a different 1080, the ASUS STRIX looks pretty awesome

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

RMA it until you get a nice one, EVGA doesn't really mind that probably.

 

If you want my attention, quote meh! D: or just stick an @samcool55 in your post :3

RMA it, but is it a refference card (Founders edition) or a ACX3.0 card? Can't be both.

The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane.

Evga decided to give me a advanced RMA with the cooling pads so we will see how that works.

Also how should I go about selling the 1080 for a different make? I have good reviews on Ebay so thats a option.

I am pretty sure (not 100% however) warranty with EVGA-cards is not voided if you take them appart.
