peak i think was 2100 need to have another look. GPU-z was just a means of showing I had a 1080ti card. Some people can be a little picky when posting a picture of a card inside the case :) Box is in storage and I wasn't up for going down 8 flights of stairs.

You can use GPUz to show the peak and the average......

Of course I have haha - I've played the entirety of Ghost Recon: Wildlands. I've run 3D Mark on it. I've played tons of games on it. I've had it at 99% usage for several hours @ 2GHz etc

I also ran Heaven on it, Valley and the other one. I have no coil whine on mine. I would notice too as I have had cards in the past that had it. My previous GTX 970's would whine if I had a really high frame rate like 1,000 (on very old titles with Vsync off etc).

Well then you've must have hit the lottery on the coil whinery.
 
If you guys have whine that is loud enough to notice I would return it for another. I've done that in the past when I had an AMD card with bad whining in normal gaming scenarios.

I did that with 4 different cards, then just stuck with the origin card.
 
Oh okay I understand now. Yeah when I swapped my AMD card I got one without any whine so I was happy.

I usually am lucky with hardware not many problems over the years.
 
Good DX12 support on the 1080 Ti, Got a 20FPS increase on The Division at 2560x1440P max settings, Nvidia options all on/max using DX12 over DX11, Results at the end -

 
Im going to wait a little while and if it annoys me enough I will try to swap it for another befor ethe 28 days are over. anyone tried dx12 mankind divided
 
I have caved and ordered a Block and Backplate, as well as some new coloured fittings! First time I've watercooled a GPU so I'm pretty excited.
 
It is fun doing the watercooling. I got that new EK Red block when I was putting my GPU in. I didn't even intend to get a new CPU Block but it looked so good :P
 
All set up:

Few points - can't add more than a 100MHz to the core otherwise I crash, bit of a disappointment. I get a load of coilwhine when rendering high frames such as in Heaven etc but in real applications such as gaming I don't.

Lastly, little bit disappointed with EK (although I ordered with OcUK) as my backplate didn't come with a logo...

Got an EVGA 1080 Ti FTW3 on order. Shipping 1 May so it's a waiting game now.
Not gone for custom watercooling in this rig as I need ease of maintenance at the moment
 
I used to buy EVGA cards exclusively. I bought my GTX 480's and 780's there and my 970's were from them also. I was so close to pulling the trigger on a GTX 1080 FTW from them when the cards started exploding into flames around the VRM area.

Honestly made me think they are form over function spending a lot of time making the PCB look nice and the heatsink shroud but not enough time on the actual engineering of the card. Some said they cheaped out on the VRM components using more affordable parts from less reputable manufacturers.

I skipped them this time and got an FE straight from NVIDIA. Are you not concerned about any of this Yeungster? - I'd like to think that they've learned their lesson from that whole fiasco but then I look at Samsung re-releasing the Note 7 and the second one still exploded into flames.
 
Yeah Vicey but I'd like to think that they'd learnt their lessons with that fiasco. They were quite prompt with the RMAs and offering fixes and as it was a worldwide thing, I doubt they would want to be in hot water again.
I completely understand where you're coming from. The shareholders are demanding more and more profit especially in the current climate.
This is actually the first EVGA card I will have bought. I've looked through their warranty and it looks pretty good. With this, I'm taking a pop that they've learnt their lessons and won't make the same mistake again.
I was and am still tempted in a FE with an AIO. Think this will be the backup plan if the FTW3 doesn't live up to expectation.
