  1. Noise is high because the fan doesn't run lower than ~1680 rpm (I don't know why). I just got my HG10 N980 <2 weeks ago and they haven't fixed it. RMA'd it and they told me that its a problem with my GPU, not their fan >_< lol. I swapped out the Corsair blower for the NVIDIA blower that came with the reference card Titan X I have. Worked perfectly! Fan quality is much much higher than the Corsair one
  2. I just got the HG10 N980 for my Titan X and the blower on it is very loud at idle temps which is a bit disconcerting. It is much louder than any other fan in my case, I'm guessing that is a manufacturing issue? Fan speed is 1680 RPM at idle temps (27 C) and 5% utilization. You can swap your corsair fan with the nvidia blower fan. It'll fix the problem. I didn't know we could swap out the corsair blower fan with the Nvidia blower fan. Could someone provide some instructions/pics on how to do it and how it ends up looking? Or is it better to do some sort of RMA for it? So I just talked to Corsair and they told me that "it's a problem with you GPU PCB because it doesn't recognize the fan" :mad: which is ridiculous because the fan was just working fine with the stock Nvidia blower but not with the HG10 N980 yet somehow that is a problem with my GPU?? He advised me to connect the fan to a motherboard fan header to control the GPU blower fan. And when I told him that I had only 2 fan headers to begin with which are being used for the CPU cooler, GPU cooler, case fans, etc., he again advised me to purchase a fan controller hub. Just awful. When I asked him about replacing the Corsair blower fan with the Nvidia stock blower fan (that was working fine with the stock cooler and ramping up/down properly, etc), he claimed that I would "still have the same problem because your PCB won't recognize the original fan" despite it being recognized and working perfectly fine for weeks before. Some great logic right there..
  3. @GenCrusher Thanks for the photos! I'm definitely going to get a backplate now as soon as they go in stock for my Titan X
  4. Can you post some pics of it with the backplate on? I was considering ordering a backplate for my Titan X for this exact reason; I figured the backplate would strengthen the PCB and help prevent it from bending. Thanks!!
