    • This is a great card which I would have given 5 stars if not for the coil whine which other users have reported as well.
    • In the event you plan on purchasing it, know there is a chance you may get a card with coil whine, and it's fairly prominent with EVGA FTW 1070 cards
    • I am not getting any coil whine, and everything just works
    • The coil whine is extremely annoying as I don't use headphones most of the time but the horizontal lines are more concerning
    • 4 stars because of coil whine
    • The coil whine was the clincher, constant at 40% idle fan rate to loud through gaming and at any power rating

    • I took a star off because there is some coil whine coming from the unit (which is apparently common)
    • I don't know why EVGA doesn't try to solve this issue with coil whine.
    • I've a coil whine issue, while gpu is not under load (while not playing games) it's fine but while playing WoW, witcher 3 or
    • Currently on second card, which the fans have terrible coil whine and even make knocking noises once the card starts to warm up
    • They probably come with Micron memory too but at least you get a better built card that wont Overheat, has working LEDs (STRIX has RBG LEDs too), and less chance (or less severe) Coil Whine.

    • My card has a really loud coil whine that was present right off the bat when I launched a game(PUBG) on this fresh build for the first time
    • If you have loud case/CPU cooler fans though, I wouldn't worry about coil whine.
    • Haven't noticed any coil whine either
    • I am not getting any coil whine, and everything just works
    • Only "complaint" would be that this card caused my PSU to start coil whining badly, so I had to buy a new one
    • Anyways, went to this card, it worked, no coil whine, good temps, performed well and is still performing well after over 2 years on a 1080p 144hz tn monitor and now now on my new 1440p 144 hz ips monitor
    • Came with horrible coil whine
