Welcome.
I think it is crazy to tune the card so it does not make the coil noise, that is not the way to go.
Please detail in the RMA the SN and the issue so we can check your card when we receive it. Also we will make sure that the one going back does not have the same issues. 
Take care

That is the typical coil whine on these cards, it is very much in all vendor cards as we use the same components.

Hi Invisibleblue,
There are some capacitors that has a little gap in between that causes the noise. These unfortunately is very hard to resolve as those are components that AMD approves for manufacturing. We have found that if you cover the tiny gap with a special glue it does minimise the noise a bit, not entirely and it is a painstaking job.
Based on your description I do think is better to RMA the card, please send a mail to [email protected] and send us your serial number and the description of the problem. Proceed to RMA the card through the shop where you bought it and we will replace it accordingly. Noise beyond what we consider normal is not acceptable.
We do apologize for the inconvenience caused and hope we can resolve your problem as fast as we can.

Hi Cyb3rWatcher,
It is all about bandwidth and of course the correct cables used.
In your case here is the following;
1920 px, 1080 px, 144 Hz, 24 bit, aspect ratio 1.78, 7.17 Gbit/s.
8.31 Gbit/s, CVT-R, 10.39 Gbit/s TMDS, Pixelclock 346.429 MHz.
7.99 Gbit/s, CVT-R2, 9.99 Gbit/s TMDS, Pixelclock 333.105 MHz.
About 10Gbps is going to your monitor if you choose to run at 144Hz at 1080p
A standard HDMI High Speed 1.4 cable should be sufficient in my opinion.

Hi Rune,
You need to deactivate the integrated graphics card and boot from PCIE or PEG
Reboot the system with the monitor cable attached to the discreet graphics card.

Hi Jason,
The CSV-5300A will work well with the R9 295X2. As I am not sure what is the monitor configuration you have, you could use as well the CSV-5200 to obtain 6 displays. It is cheaper in this case so you can save up for the R9 295X2.

Welcome to Insights! From the looks it does look like a MSI Z97-G55 board which has support for SLI and CrossFire.

Bienvenido a Insights! Great system and nice gaming room.

Hi Korsair,
I suspect that there is a component that it could be damaged that is causing the red color missing when you plug in the display. Please check if you could plug a different monitor to see if you can verify the results. If yes then please proceed to exchange the card at the place where you bought it. If not, then please check either the monitor settings or the cable that you are using.
Have more questions please contact us when possible.

Hi Bronson,
I do not know much about the Gigabyte graphics cards but I can tell you the typical configuration on a Club 3D 260X
Here is the card configuration;
1x DVI-D Single Link which it has a maximum resolution of 1920×1200
1x DVI-I Dual Link which it has a maximum resolution of 2560×1600
1x HDMI™ 1.4a which it has a maximum resolution of 4096×2160 30Hz
1x DisplayPort™ which it has a maximum resolution of 4096×2160 60Hz
Now, the main advantage of the MST Hub due to its 21.6 Gbps of bandwidth is that you can split the signal and you can make several combinations from a single DisplayPort output.
For example, you can split up to 4x 1080p signals from a single DisplayPort source.

In your case, I will do the following;
Use the 2560×1440 display on the DVI-I Dual Link port and the 3x 1080p screens with the MST Hub.
If you choose not using the hub you can use the following;
1x 1080p screen on the DVI-D port
1x 1080p on the HDMI port
1x 1080p on the DisplayPort using a Single Link Active adapter (cheaper than the dual link adapter)
1x 1440p on the DVI-I port (needs to be Dual-Link) to support the 1440p resolution.
The great advantage since you have the MST Hub is that you can use up to 6 displays (3 from the MST Hub through the DisplayPort  + 3 on the rest of the available ports 2x DVI + 1x HDMI)

I hope this answer your question.

Thanks. That is also important if you want to keep temperatures down and the OC under control.

Impressive, what can I say? Welcome to Insights Anthony
