Not tried the 5090 but returned a 5080 Gamerock due to coil whine. Bought a Gaming Pro instead that also had coil whine but it disappeared after a bit of benchmarking.
I have watercooled my card now but ran for a week on the air cooler while I was waiting for the block to arrive. Fan noise wise I was very impressed actually, you can hear it but was not loud imo and fairly quiet hum and I could have quiet happily lived with it but I had already decided to watercool.
As for coil whine when I ran the Steel Nomad 3D Mark run I could def hear the coil whine which jumped around in pitch as the visuals on screen changed, I would say it was a little annoying. However I have been playing Doom : The Dark Ages and haven't noticed any coil whine so it seems very dependant of the particular load the GPU is doing.
I had one previously and as above, I could hear the fans from 40-50% upwards but I never minded it as I playing games. It wasn't a bad whiney sound.
Mine didn't have any coil whine.
What's the warranty length in Chile? Its only 2 years in the UK which was one of the reasons I swapped to a Gigabyte.

thats good
ive seen a lot of peiole complaining about the fans
2 years, but the others brand only give 1 year lmao...
The sound profile of the fans its annoying? or is just air
I've got one. Coil whine is present, but not particularly bad. It's generally only audible on menu screens and in other scenarios where the framerate hits four figures. I can't hear any at all during normal gameplay or when running synthetic benchmarks. Fan noise is a bit more considerable. While the card is fine when idle or under light load, when the fans ramp up full, it is one of the louder cards I've owned, to the point the fans can sometimes be audible through headphones, during quieter sections of gameplay.
Thermals are decent and it's been stable with the undervolt from that reddit guide that a lot of people are using.

I think you have to accept that when you have a card with 500-600 W of power running through it, it's very very likely you'll have some degree of coil whine present.
Hi guys, I installed a Palit 5090 yesterday, the fan noise at idle is loud, like a quiet vacuum cleaner lol, sounds like it is under full loud to be honest. I benchmarked it and the fans never got louder lol! How can I fix this? Can I fix this??
Edit - ah this is interesting and a bit strange, I've installed Palits Thundermaster GPU control software, turned off the awful RGB but strangely it reports the fan speed as 0%! All's I know is my PC sounds a like vacuum cleaner since I installed this 5090 so I assumed the GPU fans are making this noise but it says 0%.
Edit of the edit - I installed a 1200W Phanteks PSU too, could that be it? Do high'ish power PSU's sound noisier? This is at idle or light loads.
Edit again - the 5090 fans are not spinning at idle I've just got down on the floor and could just about see them. Wow I was wrong in blaming the 5090. So it could just be a noisy at idle PSU or maybe my case fans are higher RPM than usual? Relieved its not the 5090 but would love to fix this, I have just made my myself a cuppa, my kitchen is on the other side of the property to where my PC is and I could still hear it lol!
Edit yet again - is this relevant (screencap of HWmonitor showing fan speeds, I see FANIN1 is much higher than the others)?

Hi, thx, they all spin, how do I find the 1 that spins fastest and what do I do with it? I guess I could unplug them 1 by 1.
Hi, thx, will have a look, not sure what I'm looking for tbh though.
did you build this pc yourself? its not hard to find out which fan sounds like a jet engine if you get close to them, some of your fans are barely spinning and another is a rocket, either unplug them at random, find some fan control software or press on the hub of each while spinning to see if the noise decreases

There are 3 fans underneath the radiator where the coolant runs through, it's 1 or all of them that's running too quickly, because I disconnected all other case fans and it was still noisy. I don't think disconnecting 1 or all of these coolant cooling fans is a brainy idea is it?
It's a pre-built, but swapped the psu + gpu yesterday.
It should have idle fan stop, 95% of modern cards have idle fan stop.
Agreed, I suspect maybe the OP has plugged something in wrong or differently.
No, higher power PSUs are not noisier. Most PSUs and certainly all the PSUs that Phanteks sell do not even run their fans at idle/low load.
3000+ RPM isn't necessarily noisy, but my best guess is that this fan is the culprit.
When you replaced the PSU, did you perhaps plug a fan into the PSU rather than the motherboard, hence it is now permanently at 100%?
Hi, as I later mentioned in this thread, I found out it isn't the GPU fans that are running at high RPM's at idle and making a noise, it's the fans underneath the radiator where the coolant circulates.
CPU temps are normal so I doubt it's the AIO kicking in because of temps. It's like something has stuck settings wise but I don't see how, these coolant fans are stuck at this high RPM as soon as I boot my PC and don't deviate while my PC is on.
Is there any software I can use to adjust coolant fan speeds? Or a bios setting? My AIO is cheapo tier and doesn't come with software to control it (afaik).

How is it plugged in? I'm sure you must have connected something differently, because it wasn't making this noise before, right?
You should be able to change the fan speeds in the BIOS, you should be able to set a fan curve or set a permanent speed, you may have it set to 100%, or you can download Fan Control software which you run in Windows and can control fan speeds there.
