tl;dr
I just want to say that if more people understood this and took this attitude we would all have nicer things.
The fuck... That's terrible

and last for like 30 seconds
coil whine is ample punishment for LED culture
I use a case with noise reducing material
parts can while all it wants, I hear nothing

Would love to have a chance here but it will probably sell out before I can get to it :/
Is it even worth signing up for auto notify? Or is it the notification given to late and not useful?
I signed up for auto notify for the Gigabyte card. I'm still waiting.

What you see is what you can change. That was Doom Maxed at 1440p. For a little over an hour.
HA! Im intimidated by that....I love the cpu cooler closed loop. Its corsair hx100i v2.

You're welcome to buy and return video cards over and over again until you find one that doesn't whine with your particular motherboard and power supply. Good luck with that!
The reason I say it's an inherent problem is because it's inherent. The manufacturers of these components don't put whine in for fun, and if it were easy and cheap to eliminate don't you think they would have done it by now?

You got yourself a golden sample there. You're super lucky that you got a great chip out of one of the more inexpensive cards.
My order has been "Processed" for a couple of days now. My CC was charged.
Only the "Shipping" step left on the order tracking. The product page still says "5 to 10 days" but I'm not sure when that 5 to 10 days started lol

It's not that bad, really. A little scary the first time, but you're already more than halfway there if you're doing your own builds with a closed loop. Just more blingy lights. And expense. And time... And...expense.
I just got the Acer predator xb271hu 1440p 144hz gsync monitor. Im in love with it. Gsync is amazing, Im wondering if fastsync would even help at that point. would it?

Well I just bought the 27" 1440 144hz g sync monitor that was posted on gaf a bit earlier. I figured I might as well utilize the GTX 1080 properly that I have on order.
How far down does this rabbit hole go?

How about a sexy new HTC Vive to go with that GTX 1080?
If you don't already have one, that is lol.
Edit: Also get a decent M.2 x4 Gen-3 SSD like the Samsung 950 Proif your mobo supports Gen3s with up to 32Gbps.

We need the HB SLI bridge already. Wanna see how much better the benchmarks are.

I've had one since launch and love it. That is what made me want to get the 1080.
Buy Vive. Want 1080. Buy 1080. Want Monitor. Buy Monitor. Want...
Agreed. But i am using an led one which has more bw than standard
Haha that's awesome man. One of my main reasons for saying fuck it and just going for a new build now is the HTC Vive; got to try it very recently and it was quite the experience to say the least.

edit: Going with the 650w
Depends on the type of games you're playing. I play older ones, so my FPS is through the roof and Fast Sync helps with that. G-Sync is kinda for the other end of the spectrum.
Actually I still might go SLI, I think I can set up profiles for this..
550w for base minimum could do but going with the 650w like you're doing now is definitely the better choice imo as well.
You shouldn't, just get the cheapest card with a good cooler

If you have a tracking number, they have already notified UPS or Fedex that there is a box with a video card in it they need to pick up and deliver somewhere. It's safe to cancel your Amazon.

Man, nice system but it's truly hilarious that someone with such a monster rig is taking cellphone pics of the screen. Come on man, this is the master race after all, if you're gonna measure your dick do it right!

Same here. Phuckers!
Yeah it sucks, thankfully I pulled the trigger when Amazon started pre orders for the Evga ACX and managed to get it for $900

So I've got a weird issue with my EVGA SC. I am getting a green flickering bar on the left side of the screen while in a game. It's always on the far left side edge of the game window, so if I go to smaller resolution it moves with it. Ive tried no over clock, restarting computer, reinstall drivers, I don't know what else it could be.
Had a look on Overclockers and no sign of it's clockspeeds, and as Ikuu has just said, the price has gone up now.
I'm beginning to think that the Inno3D cards will go up soon too. They all seem to be rising in price which is a major pain in the arse.(
Shit. Surprised Amazon would price gouge.
Tin foil hat time - the gigabyte went up in price because they're about to get stock in so can take advantage of people that want it. The inno being still at a lower price might suggest it won't be available yet and they can accept preorders which will then be passed onto the supplier.
