How do you mean audible? Pump or coil ?

Sorry pump, you will hear all the GPU AIO pumps at some level of sound as they run at 100% 'usually'. I can hear my Arous pump, but its very low and only noticeable at night when the house and streets are quite.

CPU AIOs, you can adjust the pump speed. My one starts at 2,800 and is very audible until it's adjusted under 1900 rpm for example.

Coil whine- If I open the case, stick my ear in and run a benchmark, there is some low whine, but the lowest I had from trying 6 5090s. Can't hear any whine from gaming at all, or benching with the case closed.

Ok, is it cracking sound (pump)? And do you have a radiator on top?

Is it some kind of annoying sound?

I had the SUPRIM air version, and it had coil whine even at idle, just from moving the mouse cursor. Then I tried the AORUS air version, but it seemed loud to me — I think it was the cooling — and it also had coil whine. I don’t want the Astral. So that leaves me with the AORUS XTREME Waterforce and the SUPRIM Liquid, but the 4-year warranty with the AORUS is a better deal.
 
Hi, I've been following this thread for a while, and when it comes to speakers, this topic is very important to me. After experiencing the horror of coilwhine with three TUF 4090s (it was a long process)... but they're the only ones I could get at a good price. Curiously, users mentioned "it doesn't make any noise." At my house, my friend's house, and even at work, the noise was noticeable, so these people must be deaf and it's not at all trustworthy to ask someone if the board makes noise or not. For now, following an imaginary scale, I rate it 10/10 in terms of coil-whine.

Tired of searching for a used one for 4 months without finding a good price, I decided to buy a 5080 MSI Vanguard Launch Edition (6/10), totally silent in terms of fans but a horrible coilwhine that penetrates everything especially with DLSS or RT activated, totally annoying, luckily I was able to return it, then I went on the forum recommendation for a 5080 Palit GamingPro OC (5/10) and although it had less coilwhine, this annoying sound, even at a low level, is still audible and takes me out of any game like Stalker 2 that has a lot of ambient noise. On the other hand, the noise made by the fans is rubbish, they make a deep sound and generate a vibration even at 30%. I do not recommend it at all.

Finally a friend from Spain who built a PC a week ago with practically the same configuration as me except for the motherboard bought the Zotac 5080 SOLID OC White and told me that it is silent in that aspect, to try my last luck I bought the same model but black Zotac 5080 SOLID OC (1/10) and that is why I am writing here today, putting the glass on you can't hear ANYTHING even in the middle of the night and with the sound on mute, very happy! Finally a replacement for my 3090 FTW3 (0.5/10) that I had to put my ear to the graphics card to hear it.

I could have gotten the Infinity AMP almost same price but it's incredible that you can no longer rely on the "quality of the product", but rather on one that doesn't have Coilwhine and at this point I no longer cared what brand it was or what its aesthetics were.
 
Well, this is a good timing, I came here to ask about 5090 AIO sound, or hopefully lack thereof.

I'm returning a Zotac Solid because the fans kicking in sounds terrible, as does the in/out of sync they do, and just in general tbh. So I thought I'll just go for it and get a finally water cooled job, leaning towards the Astral, partly for the pin sensing thing I guess.
Thought I'd do some research first for a change and there seems to be plenty of complaining on the Asus forums regarding pump noise. As well as the chat here now with similar issues with other brands, so now I'm conflicted.
Anyone here have an Astral LC they are happy with?

Same I am deciding between AORUS Xtreme Waterforce 5090 and MSI SUPRIM Liquid. But I don’t know what should I get.
 
Got mixed up with threads, I see there has been pump/noise chat here after all lol

(related credit where it is due, the zotac solid with horrible fans had zero coil whine, shame it wasn't both)

Hi everyone,

I'm having a critical problem with Split Fiction on my setup. Everything else, including 3DMark Extreme, Sims 4 and other GPU-intensive titles, works perfectly. But this game causes a complete system crash with the following behavior:

Black screen

GPU fans reach 100%

System freezes (forced reboot required)

Windows logs the error: VIDEO_ENGINE_TIMEOUT_DETECTED

???? My system:

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 32 GB (Gigabyte)

Driver: 576.80 (latest WHQL)

Processor: AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D

Motherboard: MSI MAG B850 TOMAHAWK MAX WIFI (AM5)

RAM: 96 GB Corsair DDR5 at 6,000 MHz

Power supply: 1600w Noctua seasonal

Storage: Samsung 9100 PRO 4 TB NVMe

Operating system: Windows 11 Professional 64-bit (version 26100)

✅ What I've tried so far:

DDU + clean driver reinstallation

Superpositions disabled (NVIDIA, Discord, Xbox Game Bar, etc.)

G-Sync, V-Sync toggled in both directions

Gaming in full-screen, borderless and windowed modes

No active OC or undervoltage

Temperatures are normal

Power plan set to High Performance

All other games and stress tests show no problems

Anyone else encounter VIDEO_ENGINE_TIMEOUT_DETECTED on RTX 5090 or recent drivers?

Me and my wife both have a Palit Gamerock 5080 (one OC) and they are both silent in terms of coil whine.

Moved from a Sapphire Nitro+ 6700xt which was terrible for it, and a 3080FE which wasn't as bad but definitely still there, so I'm no stranger to what to listen out for.

Was pleasantly surprised, and have been tested in an array of games already

which psu are you using ??
 
Guys? What would you buy? The RTX 5090 MSI SUPRIM air-cooled or the SUPRIM Liquid? The AIO version has a short lifespan, right?
