Poll: Any coil whine on your 1080 or 1070?

[Gregster]

Reading about, it seems that a few are having some coil whine issues, so just out of interest, are you getting it? If so, what PSU are you using?

I was switching between systems when doing a new build and using a Corsair HX750 and the coil whine was horrendous and had I not already tested the Gigabyte G1 Gaming card on my other system with an EVGA G2 Supernove, I would have believed it was the card at fault and not the PSU. Totally silent in my new set-up except for when Heaven finishes and that has done that with every GPU I have owned.

If you do get it, can you list your PSU and make of GPU please - Even if you don't get it can you list those please

No coil whine here on EVGA 1070 FE with Corsair RM750x.

With the exact same set up I was getting coil while on my Palit 980Ti Super Jetstream though!

No coil whine on current two FE 1080's with HX1200i. I did however have some whine on the 1080 FE that Hit the dirt and was RMA'd with same PSU.

No coil whine from my 2 msi gaming x editions powered by evga T2 1000w. 1070s btw

 

[RichardH754]

None on the FE I have got

 

[Biomorphs]

No whine on 2 x MSI FE 1080's - 1000W Super Flower Platinum

Had coil whine on 2 1080 FE both have been sent back. Not sure if I will be getting another 1080.

 

[Doop!]

I've not noticed any on my EVGA 1070 FE with a HX850i

edit: Actually I take that back. I just took the side of my case off and ran Unigine Valley and there's definitely coil whine there. That's a shame but thankfully I can only hear it with the case open, my ear to the card and under load. So ignore one of those "no" votes up top!

Can't hear much on my KFA2 1070 but maybe I need to turn the fans down

So what PSU then?

I'd be looking at your PSU/Mobo as the culprit.

I'd be looking at your PSU/Mobo as the culprit.

I purchased a new PSU just to see if that was the problem and I still had coil whine. Also tried them both on my gfs rig and both still had coil whine neither of our titanxs have coil whine on either of our rigs.
Not to sure what was causing the problem but its a problem I am not willing to live with.
Maybe a 1080 with a custom pcb will solve this for me.

So what PSU then?

Corsair ax860 and also on a evga P2 850.
Cards gigabyte 1080 fe/evga 1080 fe

 

[Boomstick777]

Nope, my 1080 is quiet as a mouse and powerful as a tiger

 

[JediFragger]

Nope. Ran around 20 top end cards on my PSU since I've had it and never gotten any....

Cards gigabyte 1080 fe/evga 1080 fe

From what I understand the Evga PSUs are rated up with the Superflowers, perhaps I even read they were just rebranded? So I guess the PSU isn't the culprit.

Honestly, I don't know much about coil whine but I thought by asking your PSU it would at least give Gregster the information he was asking.

None on my GLH, not that I can hear anyway!
