30xx Series Founders Edition

The steady recovery in stock availability and pricing is continuing on the same slow path it has been.

Still some time to go, but still pointing in the right direction, ever so slightly.

Wow... my cousin's 3080's coil whine is so much louder than mine. Time for some undervolting to bring the noise down.

undervolting hasnt done much for my coil whine I dont want to undervolt to the point where it performs lower than stock performance I have played with undervolting while beating stock performance which is what I want

I have let it run heaven benchmark on loop for good few hours hoping it can reduce or fix the coil whine I think it might have improved or it could just be me getting used to it and setting the case fan curves again on Red dead 2 the coil whine seems to be the worst , not sure what to do will decide after 10 days or so worried if I return they will say its normal and return it back and how difficult it is to come by these not keen on refund
 
Well, I finally got off my arse and installed it :p

Pros:

1 Whisper quiet
2 Not the slightest hint of Coil Whine
3 Just looks a nice premium quality piece of kit

Cons:

1 As expected, Not a mind blowing performance upgrade over my 2080.
2 I'm missing the USB-C socket on my 2080 :( (It was really handy for plugging my phone in to)
3 Really, really don't like the centre power inputs.

We have gone for 1,850MHz at 850mV.

Performance is equal or better than stock settings.

Reduced coil whine noise (not completely gone but much better). To be honest the coil whine noise is covered up by the ramping up of the case fans during gaming, so not a big issue.
 
Happy with my temps now with the 3080ti.
Under stress get : GPU 60-65, Hot spot 70-75, depending on game Memory is 80-90.
Undervolt but better than stock performance.

Fan curve helped drop around 6 degrees across the board.

pretty sure I tried 1,850MHz at 850mV was giving lower scores than stock and I ran quite a few difference benchmark tools and games will try again

You could always get a CableMod cable, thats what I got but they are way more expensive when you factor in the shipping.

I did look into them You must have an order with a minimum of 69,90€ to place your order, your current order total is 46,90€
seems excessive just for 1 cable shame cant buy it through retailers

Does coil whine naturally reduce over time?
Click to expand...
I have owned plenty of cards with varying degrees of coil whine. I cannot remember owning one that got quieter with age.

The only solution that worked for me (every time) was limiting the FPS to a rate equal to / or just-over my monitors native refresh-rate (60Hz, 144Hz etc). This either greatly-reduced or removed the whine altogether.

Same for me. I've never had it go away with use, despite the various "tricks" people suggest (like running Heaven overnight or something). I own a couple of cards that are getting on for a decade old and still have coil whine, so if it's not gone away after ten years of usage, I'd say it's probably never going to.
 
My 3070 has a small amount of whine only in the loading screen in one game sounds a bit like a high pitched dial up modem but don't get any while gaming, also noticed if you change the power management mode from normal to prefer maximum performance the card doesn't downclock and the fans run at 1000 rpm at idle

Thank you for that nugget of information. I will bear it in mind in case I come across the coil whine issue.
