It's a Portuguese store, i never bought nothing from them because they are in another point of the country that i am. But they were offering free shipping on 250€+ , so i bought the GPU from them and yes it's the best customer service i've ever had in years from other stores. Really amazing store.

So what's their name?! Let's help a good store thrive. Everybody wins that way.

I know it's a lottery sometimes, but I met two 980 and 970 Jetstreams, and they had coil whines so bad, I didn't want to believe at first.

Didn't know that, I have a card from Gainward (their daughter company) without coil whine.

So, here's how my situation got solved:

The GPU they sent me was the same, coil whine as hard. So i sent it back again, they full refunded me and gifted me The Witcher 3 game .

What i did: I've tried buying another 980 on Amazon but this time Gigabyte version, the result was: EXTREME COIL WHINE and a refurbished GPU, i've sent it back and now i totally give up from this 900 series.

I got a R9 290X Matrix Platinum used for a nice price, and now i'm just going to wait for the new AMD's to come out and buy my definitive GPU.

your Ears must be happy
and you got a free game congrats

Yes, zero coil whine finally. And this GPU is pretty good! It's a little better than GTX 970 but it gets so freakin hot lol.
