4080 & 4090 Coil Whine Thread

Noxia said:
Sig is exact, I have an EVGA P6 1000w.

I went Suprim, Suprim, Giga, Suprim. This was whine, whine, thermals, SUCCESS. I run 1440UW or 4K, no difference in noise to either tbh. I couldn't speculate on the board contributing to whine and I guess in my experience it doesn't make sense as 2 were awful. The Suprim isn't as quiet buzz wise as the Giga but it's like difference of couldn't hear GIG with ear to case, and can hear the Suprim maybe 1 inch away but I don't sit that close so I don't hear it.

yeah it would seem mobo would not be the issue, but I have seen evidence to contrary and it actually does make some sense it could be it. Mobo does in fact provide 75 watts of power through PCIe slot. Yes it is a small amount compared to what is provided through 12vhPWR or PCI-E 8 pin connectors, but it still is extra power and could very well influence how the power is distributed among the card. Sometimes the little things make a big difference in how frequencies vibrate and if they are audible or not. Just like PSU and even the AC electricity supply to the residence. I imagine a small amount of extra 75 watts from separate source could cause different behavior on cards in terms of coil whine given often there is no rhyme or reason? Though I am not 100% for sure on anything.
 
Got my second suprim x, it's just as noisy. FFS io;dgh;oooooooooooooasdh;lkhfivf.zsdf/dm,./

edit: I don't know what to do, tempted to put my headphones on and pretend the issue doesn't exist like a lot of people have suggested doing.

Do you remember which cards were tested om the Ryzen 5800X and B550 Tomahawk vs your current Asus B650E-E Strix and 7600X? Like you stated you tried a Gaming OC and PNY and they whined too much but were half as bad as bad Suprim X cards until you found the unicorn Suprim X that is far quieter.

Were the Gaming OC and PNY tested on the 1st 5800X B550 Tomahawk system or the newer and current Ryzen 7600X B650E-E Strix system. And I assumed Straight Power 11 1200 wat PSU used for both?
 
I'm honestly not sure, but yes the PSU was the same throughout. I wouldnt say i was getting a straight run of bad cards. A third of which id say were decent. Here's my verdict on the cards.

Suprim 1: Coil Whine*

Suprim 2: Coil Whine*

Suprim 3: Coil Whine*

Nvidia FE: Fine.*

Nvidia FE: Fine.

PNY 4090: Coil Whine AND poor fans.

Gigabyte 4090 Fine, but lesser fans.

Suprim: Perfect.


* = old rig.

Thanks so much for tip.

I am researching threads and trying to find the perfect combo of components I can build tomorrow.

So to confirm you mentioned Gigabyte 4090 Gaming OC is fine meanig no whine or just not bad of whine. Like you stated somewhere it had half the whine as the bad Suprim X cards?






I am going to construct a rig composing of PSU and mobo Noxia has. My local Micro Center does not have the eVGA SuperNOVA 1000 P6, but Amazon Prime has free delivery of it tomorrow. My local MC has mobo and the other stuff and 4090 Gaming OC cards.

@Noxia : You had mentioned the Gaming OC you had was so quiet could not be heard even with ear by the case where as quiet Suprim X can be. But you returned it due to thermals. Like what was the issue with thermals. Was it throttling or getting hotter than it should so you were worried about longevity of the card?

With an eVGA P6 1000 Watt and Asus X670E-E Strix mobo, probably just a matter of finding the right Gaming OC that is quiet and thermals under control or probably a rarer unicorn new batch Suprim X. Unless there is a lottery among same model PSU and even mobos influencing 4090 coil whine. The lottery is probably among cards themselves more so so with proven components, I can take a pick and return to my local Micro Center Gaming OC cards tomorrow= until I find a quiet whine/electrical buzz free one.
 
I'm trying to avoid terrible coil whine as I'm using a fractal torrent case potentially (no noise dampening) with an air cooler (noctua NDH-15).
I need 5 display connections so I'm limited to ASUS TUF or ASUS Strix. Both have quesitonable variances re: coil whine.

The build is 13700k/4090.

Am I better off going Torrent + NHD-15 + hoping I don't get coil whine on the TUF?
Or going for a noise dampening case such as the Define 7 & smacking an AIO on the 13700k?
 
@Wolverine2349 The issue was the hotspot temp getting to 95 with fans at 70% where the MSI was getting to 60 at 40% in the same scenario.

It also meant it was noisy as the fans were not as good as the Suprim.

What kind of case do you have? And yeah that would stink for hotspot temp to get to 95C. I have tried many Gaming OCs and with fans at 50% hotspot temp peaked at I believe 89C in a Be Quiet Silent Base 802 with 3 140mm Shadow Wings 2 900RPM instake and 1 Shadow Wings 2 140mm 900 RPM exhaust.

Unfortunately they all had too much coil whine/electrical buzz. Hoping the one I get today will not with your components I am going to use being mobo and CPU and PSU.

O11D Evo. 3x 140mm intake, 360 AIO intake and 3x 140mm exhaust at top.
Fans run at 650rpm.
 
Sad to say tried an Asus X670E-E Strix and Ryzen 7700X and eVGA P6 1000 watt PSU and Gaming OC 40-90 and still hardly any difference. Same old chainsaw buzz and in fact much worse at ide as there is an easily audible buzz from the GPU. Under load the same maybe barley better but still way tooo much.:(:(:(:(:(

Appears mobo makes no difference.:(:(:(:(

I'm RMA'ing mine. I can put up with a little of it, but what I had was madness. (fixed my video/noise link as it was broken)

From what I read, the Giga 4090 OC is the quietest, but louder fans. I might try the SuprimX. However thats hit an hiss but better fans, and the Strix 4090 is better fans but again hit or miss. The whine lottery I suppose, keep going till I get one thats acceptable.

Yeah, mine is just about tolerable with headphones on. But I booted up unreal engine 5.1 and started messing with some of the free library samples, the card goes nuts. I couldn't imagine working with that going on in the background, it practically forces you to put on headphones.

Its not great for sure. It's really irritating, and you only notice just how loud it really is when you quit game to desktop and its almost like relief.

Anyway.... I am hearing more and more of people dramatically reducing their whine by using their nvidia supplied cables... the corsair and fasgear 12vhpwr caused their noise, but by going back to the nvidia cable their noise almost dissapeared. I'm at work, but will try this tonight.

Has anyone heard, or tried this ?

The actual; NVIDIA extension cable.

It would almost not make sense as extension cables add more ripple and noise and such?

Though I am not using Corsair extension and used CableMOD ones for eVGA and Asus/SeaSonic and 0 difference.
