my only "hmmmm" about EVGA are coil whine issues reported all over... Apparently Asus uses higher quality chokes to lesser the problem. I don't want to buy $$$ GPU and have to RMA it on the same day.... choices choices...
And you can RMA the card for coil whine. Did you think you couldn't?
Just be aware that an aging and/or cheaply made PSU can cause excessive DC ripple which can induce coil whine in other components (such as a GPU).
I have a Corsair TX750, do you think it is decent? I guess I will deal with the problem if it happens.
Corsair TX750W Power Supply Review Review
From page 4 - "The TX750W does a really good job at being above average but it misses the boat on being awesome. The 12V ripple is a tad high and that 80mV whoopty do in test 6 kind of stop the awesomeness from happening. That and the less than stellar 3.3V regulation in the hotbox bring it down from a potential 10 to a well deserved 8.5."
All you can do is test it, and if you have coil whine it could be the PSU. Test with another PC or with a different PSU to verify before starting an endless RMA loop.
EDIT: I really trust JonnyGuru's PSU reviews - so if you ever need a new PSU, see if he (or someone who also does in depth testing) reviewed the models that you are interested in.
Despite ASUS' legendary RMA reputation, I went with it anyway. I've had many ASUS components with only one failure. I'll take those odds.
My Strix 1070 is using Samsung.
From what I can tell, the "Micron is bad" info is coming from a specific batch of MSI Gaming X 1070 cards made in China and sold in parts of Asia. All of those cards were using Micron.
I just placed an order for evga ftw. As long as there in no or minimal coil whine I will be happy camper ;-)
I should get it early next week.
Thank you everyone vfor your input ;-)
EVGA might have a not bad support, but their cooling solution was always not good when it comes to noise and sometimes temps as well.
ACX 3.0 is excellent cooler. My card may just hit 1000 RPM while under 100% constant load. While gaming with vsync it's basically <900 RPM. Basically silent and my HDDs probably make more noise. It's one of the quietest coolers out there according to reviews too. This thing is actually quieter under full load than my old Gigabyte GTX 970 G1 on idle. That windforce cooler is crap like the similar version on these new cards too.EVGA might have a not bad support, but their cooling solution was always not good when it comes to noise and sometimes temps as well.

There is: Testissä näytönohjainvalmistajien GeForce GTX 1070- ja 1080-mallit: Asus, Gigabyte & MSI | Page 3 of 8 | MuropakettiMaybe they improved, but I doubt. Too many evga brand fans here. ACX 2.0 was definitely a disaster. I returned my 1080 ACX as well because of noise. There's no windforce on giga btw, but it was actually much better than acx. However the Xtreme model cooler is a pure masterpiece.
