Anyone got the Gigabyte G1 Gaming Windforce 3x 1070?

Fan sounds like it's at 100% all the time, not sure what is causing this. It's quite loud to begin with but when I boot up a game it get's louder than my TV and stays that way until I restart. Makes me think something somewhere is causing it to sit on high fan speeds for no reason. Apparently the card is even supposed to shut it's fans off completely if under 60C, as I type this the 1070 is sitting at 27C.

Unigine Heaven all maxed couldn't even get the card about 52C, that's great! But it really does sound like the fans are going to burn out at this rate, it's basically a jet engine and that isn't what Windforce is. I remember upping the fan speed on my 670GTX Windforce just to see how loud it was, and this is louder when idle than that was at 100% for a few seconds.

Cheers.

Hi,
I have the same trouble with mine. I have sent an email to "Gigabyte" and they asked me to send it... I don't want to of course.
Did you find a solution?

Im quite sure the Gigabyte software has some fan setting to fix this but their software is terrible according to reviewers where many games wont run when the software is open. You can try MSI Afterburner though. Go to Settings > Fan and then set the fan curve accordingly and click ok. Then make sure the "User defined) option is enabled in the fan bar. Hope this helps

I've tried this solution but it didn't work. Maybe a BIOS update in the next few days will help...
