Anybody here purchased a FURY NANO that doesn't have coil whine?

Just an update, tested it with the UNIGINE Valley Benchmark (EXTREME HD) preset, during the actual graphic benchmark, don't discern any coil whine (sometimes, it hits 120-150 FPS). Nevertheless, when one actually tries to quit the app (menu), the screen/display that sticks around for six seconds makes the card coil whine. (27, or 28 seconds into the vid).

It sounds a lot worst on the recording than in person though. If I configure the FRTC then there is no discernible coil whine at all. I'm gonna keep the card, as long as there's a way to re-mediate the problem - pretty much won't be trying to get past 90 fps anyways (VR).

Nice case! I love Silverstone's design aesthetic. Also the white ASUS R9 Nano is the prettiest. :wub:

What temps are you getting?

Nice to (not) hear any major coil whine in your GD05 case. You should try metro last light and borderlands 2 with your frame cap set to 90 and validate if its still quiet from your sitting distance.

That high pitch screaming at the splash screen was experienced with all 3 of my Nano's even locked at 60hz in various games. Not all of them make it squeal.

Sucks when you have a 144Hz Freesync monitor but as a HTPC card I could put up with that noise.
