Asus Strix 980 Ti - random rattling

[hyh76]

Hi. My card is Asus Strix 980 Ti but i am left with one problem.

There is a rattle that occurs from time to time when the fans are changing rpm,like starting games. After few minutes when i am in game, it's not a problem because it's usually locked at relatively high RPM.
The noise also comes at COMPLETELY random times. Sometimes fans will spin to high speed properly without noise, sometimes they will rattle for a few seconds.
I dont know if i must RMA card for this?
I check fan blades, and no cables hitting fan blades.

Nope.

What is weird is that OP has complaint threads above that are dated before (8/11) he talks about even acquiring one (8/17):
