Well got mine in this morning, installed it, and it has coil whine :/. Bugger. Back it goes to NewEgg for a replacement.

I'm getting my card tomorrow and I want to know what to look and listen for. Is the coil whine happening at all times or only when playing games?
I think your going to be waiting for awhile
I found mine has some coil whine (would not be enough to bother me but also not acceptable at this price) which is only noticeable in some menus and intros in games. The fan issues I mentioned earlier are much more bothersome.
My G1 came , and I am not noticing any noise issues.
Don't most 980 cards have coil whine during intros and high-FPS menus and stuff? My EVGA GTX 980 reference had it during game intros (and rarely some menus), but from what I read, I thought it it was super common.

Not sure about 980 but my 970s never did. Or if they had it could not be heard from inside the case.
Yea my 780 doesn't have any coil while at all. And the G1 I'm returning exhibited coil while both in menus and in game (Shadow of Mordor and Diablo 3)
Jesus, can any Gigabyte owners confirm or deny this sound test on the card? That noise is insane.

That video is the card at 100% fan speed you can barely hear the fans @ 50% @ 60% they should be slightly louder than any case fans at least in my system. @ 70 % they are noticeable but more than likely you have sound or headset on so shouldn't matter anyways @ 80% is still is not bad @ 90-100% is when they get loud but they were not louder than the EVGA FTW 970 card I had.
Look back a few pages and I posted sounds clips of mine at different Fan speeds. 1 with it next to the case closed and 1 from where I sit about 3 feet away. http://hardforum.com/showpost.php?p=1041676324&postcount=116
What is that in the lower slot? An ssd?
G1 seems to be out of stock everywhere and no sign of the EVGA hybrid.
Get your preorder in at B&H. Their estimate went from July 25th to July 1st. I expect you'll get it next week. I saved over $70 in shipping and tax so I'm a happy camper.
and what if you want to straight up return the card and not do an exchange?
Do you have to run the Gigabyte software in order to properly overclock this card or can you use afterburner? That really blows if you have no choice but to use gigabytes software to enable overclock mode as some websites are saying you do, otherwise your stuck in gaming mode.
I just tested my G1 a bit more and it's definitely quiet with stock speeds but when heavily overclocked it gets too loud for my tastes.
After looking at Jayz video again https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B2-gCXscH04 around the 7:25 that card is quiet and does not have that pitch you were talking about that you had and I had from my sound clip. If that's how its suppose to sound and the new reviews seem to prove it then shouldn't have anything but that for almost card. For sure his card was hand picked and tested from a lot probably why none of ours had seals ? LOL

And like that, outa stock again. So I noticed Nvidia pulled the Batman game for the cards. That blows.....
