Poll: Any coil whine on your 1080 or 1070?

[Dervious]

1080 msi seahawk hybrid and sorry i meant customer services.

more or less got told its not a fault and doesnt affect performance there isnt a lot i can go as for upgrading the power supply i already own a Corsair HX1000i. i cant really be spending more than i already did for that.

That PSU should be fine, and I bet there have been a fair few people buying new PSUs only to find that it doesn't cure the coil whine.

BTW I think CS? means which retailer's customer services ? You can't mention competitors, but you can say if it was bought from Overclockers.

1080FE

I recently changed my PSU from a Corsair AX1200I to a AX860I and now get coil whine when the card is maxed but never had a problem before.

That is surprising.

I wouldn't mind betting that if you tried a cheaper 600watt PSU, the coil whine would be gone. You might even go back to the AX1200I and still get coild whine.

Gigabyte GTX 1070 FE here, No coil whine - using a 360w Seasonic G series Gold PSU.

Odd isn't it, I intend to change back to the 1200 next time I do a rebuild in a new case so will update this thread if I get whine or not then.

Yup I get coil whine when the card is running at crazy framerates, usually uncapped menus etc.

I don't hear anything while gaming!

3x MSI GTX 980Ti reference, Thermaltake Toughpower 1500watt - no coil whine on any card.

2x EVGA GTX 1080 SC ACX 3.0, Fratal Define R3 1000w platinium. One card has mild coil whine but only audible when I put my head down to the case. Can't be bothered to RMA it, since I could end up with one worse.

Frankly since 2010 starting with the Fermi series, I think coil whine has "evolved" into a quite common problem. You even see many reviews also "testing for coil whine".

I've had three 1080's now:

2 x Asus Strix GTX 1080 A8G
1X EVGA 1080 FE

Both of these where from different UK suppliers and they had horrific coil whine / buzz which I could hear from outside the room. I've since moved for a EVGA 1080 FE which has been completely silent.

Mine is also a EVGA FE and while I can definitely hear a whine it's nowhere near as bad as your Asus ones and impossible to hear over normal level game audio so I think myself lucky.

think it would be good also to see which brands do have coil whine also.

I think most of the people who voted "They have coil whine" don't actually own a 1070 or 1080. Sad really but there ya go.

No whine here at all, in fact it's the quietest card I've owned. Palit 1070 Super Jetstream.

 

[Gripen90]

You can't tell which brands have coilwhine, because they all have ! It's down to the single card if it's affected or not. You can have two 100% identical cards (I have) and one has coilwhine, the other doesnt.

do you have any evidence?

 

[james_2k]

dont have any, BUT i always run vsync on in the nvcp so max i get is 100fps so maybe at 30000 fps who knows.

edit: psu 1050w xfx black edition

 

[Gregster]

do you have any evidence?

Looking through the amount of posts and people saying they don't have whine leads me to that conclusion. From my OP, I did ask what PSU they used, purely from my own experience with a different PSU giving coil whine.

Thread was created to try and help people define if it was the card or was a PSU fault.

My Coil whine has disappeared after a few days running in. That's with a Strix 1080 playing Elite Dangerous on my X34a at 100hz. I am going to do more testing over the weekend with other titles before I decide whether to go through with the RMA I organised. I have a Corsair PSU btw.

I had two 680 lightnings that also needed running in. Once done though, it never returned

Quite bad coil whine on my zotac gtx 1070 extreme amp edition. Happens as soon as load is placed on GPU. Using a coolermaster VS550.

 

[Cuchulain]

Really bad coil whine in Overwatch, mild whining in WoW and other games though. Asus dual 1070, Corsair RM750. Use to happen on my old 550w psu with a different card and different motherboard so I've no idea where to even start diagnosing. I'll probably just put up with it.

Minor coil wine in some menus and benchmarks. Not noticeable in games.

Msi 1080 Armor.
