Hello everyone,
After a life long waiting for a gpu update I finally managed to buy a GTX 980, a Gigabyte G1. But unfortunately it has coil whine. Not very loud but loud enough to be audible, especially while getting high fps in games. Sometimes limiting fps via enabling vsync- works but not in every game. Plus I hate using vsync since it increases input lag noticably.
So I decided to contact my retailer (i'm in Turkey btw) and they told me that the gpu should go service center to get approved for a return or change. Then I called Gigabyte service center in Turkey to get informed about the situation and they told me that they don't accept coil whine as a RMA. I'm a bit surprised since I heard lots of stories here and abroad from friends and other people with different brands accepting RMAs and even refunds.
I just want to find out the Gigabyte's policy here. Do they really strictly deny coil whine as an issue worthwile for RMA? Because what I heard from different brands is telling me the opposite.
Here's my rig if it's anything to do with the situation:
