RMA EVGA 1070?

So around Christmas time I bought a EVGA FTW 1070 Hybrid, an AIO liquid cooled card. I have never owned a AIO GPU before, but the pump on this card seems to be incredibly loud, I have been comparing it to the AIO Netpton 240 M in my system and that is silent during operation. At idle the noise levels of the pump seem to be about the same as the Noctua fan in my system at 50% or about 1500 rpm. The noise is hard to describe but it basically sounds like a loud buzzing noise. It's so loud in fact, that I can hear it through my headphones while gaming.

 

Can anybody that has used/owned an AIO GPU before help me decide if I need to RMA my card? I would really hate to send it back, but the noise is pretty annoying.

Yep, I haven't personally dealt with them, but I've heard their the best of all the GPU manufactuers.

Really is no "best". There are plenty of good cards from other companies such as GALAX, XFX, Asus

Okay, thanks for the quick responses guys. I contacted EVGA and they said that I may have something stuck in the pump, so I guess I'm going to be without a GPU for a couple weeks.
