Hello, your recent purchase of the Palit GeForce RTX 3080 Gaming Pro LHR 12GB GDDR6X PCI-Express card from Overclockers UK is great. You mentioned some annoying hissing sounds during idle testing in BIOS, which might be due to fan noise or coil whine. Since you're still working on completing the build, it's worth checking if installing the correct Windows drivers and ensuring proper cooling can help improve performance. If you're considering returning the card, you might want to ask a friend for their thoughts before doing so. Refer to the linked videos for more details on the sound issue.

I suspect one of the fans isn't working properly, possibly due to a faulty bearing... To figure it out, you might want to turn off each fan individually and see which one stops making the sound. From what I see, the left fan seems to be the culprit.

It seems like the item is unstable right now. You might want to check it more closely.
