Gigabyte 780 GHZ - reason to RMA?

Hey. I have rattling noise on idle like on full load. Here is the link with sounds:

Card is Gigabyte 780 GHZ

I had a Gigabyte GTX 660 Ti with that problem (same kind of noise as the second video). After RMAing it the first time I got an exchange model which produced the same noise after a few weeks - after the second time I got the same graphics card back with a dented cooler and even worse rattling and after the third time sending it in I finally got my money back. Took almost a year, though.
I found the rattling noise to be pretty unbearable because it was even louder than the games I was playing and I can tell you for a fact that my current MSI GTX 760 (or the zotac GTX 760 I tried before that) doesn't produce any kind of rattling noise. So no more gigabyte for me in the forseeable future - the fan units on their GPUs seem to be pretty unreliable. I'd RMA it if needed but if the card is still new I'd immediately try to get my money back.

So after RMA i get another 780 Gigabyte and the same situation . Fan are making again strange noises like here:

On another card i have the noise from fan. So what now? RMA second time ?!

Bad luck might be worth trying to get your money back and trying another brand like Asus or MSI.

That movie better represent that noise. Can you hear from 0:31 ?

I have the same exact noise. Its normal or not?

I can't really say - it's definately quieter than the rattling I had on my card but the noise itself is very similar. Is it a problem with all fans or does it stop when you stop a particular fan?

you had all that space and you wasted it with a vertical video...

I'd get a refund and go for an R9 290 aftermarket card. At least here in the US prices are back at MSRP and the 290 is now ~$100 less.

When gaming i dont hear that, its only rattling occasionally when i am on 2d desktop. What you think?



From 0:31 - 0:35
