Hey there,
I've recently got my hands on a 2nd hand gigabyte 1080 waterforce (build in AIO - https://www.gigabyte.com/Graphics-Card/GV-N1080XTREME-W-8GD-rev-10#kf)
It's a really amazing card and it works well - the temps don't exceed 60 degrees @ 55% fan speed - so nothing is wrong there (except the insane loud fan - but i gotta live with that ^^)
But i've noticed a quite high buzzing noise coming from the pump. It's not something that is really bothering me that much, but i can hear it over my case fans, which is a bit irritating since the sound is not consistent - it happens at random times, but its worst when the card is idle or under medium load.
I've included a list of the specs in my PC below
1x 6600k @3.5 Ghz (with h100i front mounted push pull config x4 fans)
1x Gigabyte z170 gaming 7
2x 4GB corsair DDR4 ram blocks
1x 650W cooler master bronze certified PSU
1x Gigabyte 1080 extreme waterforce 8GB @ stock settings (mounted at rear exhaust 1x fan)
1x 512 GB SSD m.2 from Intel (NVMe)
1x 126 GB SSD m.2 from crucial (SATA)
All fitted into a NZXT S340 white case.
I've recorded the sound with my telefone - not the best quality but it should work

BTW - the radiator is mounted with the tubes going out from the bottom of my radiator - tried it the other way around and same result.
Hope you can assist me to whether or not i can fix it or i should RMA it right away (still warranty for around a year)
