So, I decided to come into hardcore pc gaming with my first custom-made(which I am proud of) gaming rig this august. I cought a pretty good deal on amazon(uk) on a 7950. It was about 200 pounds. So I took it, having heard how good of a card is, its overclocking abilities and its overall performance. However, the "marvelous" windforce fans were REALY LOUD. Having been a noob, I didn't know what coil whine was. So I was like: It has 3 fans, no wonder its loud, especialy when I am maxing BF4 on 50-60 fps. HOWEVER, just hanging around on Linus Tech Tips channel I found a video of an AMD card having coil whine. And then I realised that was what my card had as well. I also checked up a noise test using furmark 3d and the noise was MINIMAL. So seems like I have coil whine. But do I realy? I found a video that shows EXACTLY what I am facing ATM. So Question to the Community #1: Do I REALY have coil whine or are the fans designed that way?(highly doubt so). #2 How can I tackle the problem W/O RMA.? #3 If my only option is to ditch the card at this point or live with the problem, am I able to? I ordered the card on the amazon link on 28th of august by Gigabyte themselves. #4 If I can, how should I approach this? Send an e-mail to amazon or what? I haven't realy RMAed a card before. Thanks for your time in advance and for reading through all this.
P.S: I know you guys can't be sure if I am able to RMA the card at this point since you are not from Gigabyte, but at least a guess?
