coil whine

I know this topic has been probably talked to death. However, I don't think there's a definitive answer. So my question is, out of the three options below, which one is the best next step for me? 1. Replace the PSU with a different one 2. Buy a mains conditioner like this one assuming wiring in...

So as the title suggests, I want to know how common it is for a GPU to have coil whine among the people in this forum. In the past few years I have been using; RTX 2060, HD 7770, RX 590, RX 5700 xt and recently both an RX 6750 xt & RX 6700. All cards have had pretty audible coil whine, which in...

Hi guys, So I finally got my hands on a 3080 from Overclockers, I went for the 3080 ti upgrade offer of a KFA2 GeForce RTX 3080 Ti HOF. However I'm getting very loud coil whine when playing some games. I used to get this on my Zotac 2060 when in game menus, but this is much, much worse and is...

My current motherboard (MSI Z590 PRO WIFI) has coil whine even under modest load (for example, scrolling in Chrome). The noise definitely comes from the VRM area. Compared to some of the more expensive MBs, my MB has rather modest VRM (12+2 virtual phases, 6+2 real phases, RT3609BE...

Hi Guys Returning after a long time (8 years ago) lurker here, and long time PC enthusiast. Like many of you, I have started the long journey to find a Geforce 3080/90 at the start of last year. At first it was almost impossible to get a card without going to the Scalpers, but I eventually...

Hi everyone, This week I built a new system with a GTX 1660-Super, which has been running perfectly up until today where I replaced the CPU fan, and now the GPU has developed a rather large amount of coil buzz, the buzz gets worse when the RAM is set to it's full 3600mhz, and obviously less...

Yesterday I installed Sapphire 6800xt reference card and I was expecting a bit of coil whine in benchmarks. When I launched games and pushed the graphics with unlimited FPS I was surprised quiet a lot, coil whine was still there. The coil whine noise is definitely louder than fan noise (maxes at...

Hello everyone. I have recently bought a "Inno3D GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER iCHILL X3 Ultra" After consistently using it for a week I noticed a big coil whine and fan bearings noises. Possibly that is a factory issue, could be that a big threat to my GPU? I just dont want to take a risk and make a...

Hi folks, I've got a bit of a bizarre problem. I've just built a new system but retained the PSU, SSDs and screen from my old build. The system works perfectly albeit for a high-pitched buzz (not dissimilar to coil whine; sounds like crickets in the night) coming from the PSU and the monitor's...

I have a 3950x, 570board, 32gb Ram and a 1080ti. The 1080ti and my power supply (1000W corsair) are from my previous system. I never heard any coil whine before. When I fired up Divinity 2 I could clearly hear it. I think it's from the gfx card, but not 100% sure. The frequency changes as...

I am considering switching to Nvidia, always having stuck with AMD cards. A good candidate is the Nvidia GTX 2070, but, if I add this to a passive cooled pc build I thought I would be wise and ask for opinions about possible coil whine. What I think I have learned, based all on hearsay thorugh...

I could do with a little help here, recently decided to upgrade my GPU (MSI ARMOR 8G RTX 2070) to something with a bit more of a kick in order to achieve higher refresh rates at 2K resolutions. First I've ordered MSI RTX 2080 Super Gaming X Trio, card was buzzing like crazy under load. On top...

Hello, I have been getting a terrible coil whine THROUGHT my headset for some reason. Pretty sure it is coming from my GPU since when I am in a game the pitch/loudness changes when I change my FPS cap. (When I cap my FPS at around 120 or something for example it's not that loud, but I use a...

Hi, This is quite a specific one, and google doesn't seem to give me any answers so I fully understand if no-one can help me here. :P Took apart my R9 290 MSI, noticed the end inductor (Magic R19) the top of it (ferrite?) had come unglued and is stuck to the thermal pad covering the row of...
