My brother, my friend, and I all bought one of these. We bought two off here and one from Newegg because of a purchase limit. They all run great, no coil whine, and completely stable.
We made fan curves and the temps stay around 38c-58c while gaming depending on load and the cards don't get that loud at all unless you game in silence I guess lol (65f ambeint temp). If your case doesn't have good airflow or if your PC is in a hot room the temps will be higher.
We cranked up the voltage, power and temp limits and OCed the cards as much as we could. So far every card hits 2062.5mhz on the core and won't go any higher, at least not with the substantial memory OCs we're running. I was able to overclock my memory to 12532mhz (making a bandwidth of 551.6gbps, about 14% higher than stock) with the core at 2062.5mhz and it's stable and gets better benchmark scores compared to lowering my memory clock. My friends were able to reach 12332mhz on their memory with 2062.5mhz core. These cards have really great memory chips.
My buddy and my brother have relatively basic motherboards with no PCIE bracing and these cards hardly sag at all! They bought $17 brackets to make sure they don't ever sag. This gpu doesn't sag in my x99 Asus Rampage 10 motherboard.
Use MSI afterburner to overclock. MSI Afterburner is completely stable and works great. You will have to enable voltage control by downloading a wildcard.zip file and replacing the file in MSI afterburners main directory if you want to use it. You can find the file on Google easily. Aorus Graphics Engine is buggy and unusable for OCing on my PC. I just use AGE to change the LEDs. AGE will crash when opening a custom fan curve that has too many points. Even resetting the fan curve doesn't fix the crash, you have to reinstall AGE. AGE will also randomly change your overclock profile settings to random values every time you open it or completely delete your profiles altogether. AGE may work fine for you though, so feel free to try it first.
