4080 & 4090 Coil Whine Thread

voodoochild2008 said:
Not seen as many complaints with the Zotac and Gigabyte for coil whine. Happy with the Zotac, but my god, the motor noise is spoiling a great all-around card.
It looks great, it's lighter and smaller than the Suprim and its temps are around 5c less than the Suprim, but you can hear the motors over everything else.
Had I gotten this one 1st, I would just think it's a bigger card and fans and just working hard vs heat, but after having the Suprim to compare, it's hard not to be bothered by the noise.
I am now wondering how hard would it be to swap the fans out lol

Whats the motor noise youre referring to? All i can hear on mine is fan noise and its pretty quiet (the fan on my monitor is louder than the fans on the GPU)
 
I have an Aorus Master 4090 and have not heard any coil whine so far. Much better than my Strix 3090 where the coil whine was very noticeable after a few weeks

Seems pretty good. Is there 0 RPM mode and was that video them on full blast?

It's off until around 50c. That was the speed they go when it goes from idle to on. The funny thing is the motor/bearing noise is better at higher rpm, it's the low rpm which is louder...well, not loud, but loud vs MSI.

The card itself is better than the Suprim for what I need. It has a high enough clock, and there is more than enough power to make it to 5090 and maybe beyond. The lighting is better than the Suprim and the look of it is different in a good way. So far, the only gripe I have is I wish the fans were as good as the Suprim.

That been said, it will no doubt blow up now I have said that lol

Is that the more expensive of the Zotecs? Honestly it all seems a gamble no matter what card I go for. My card is going back Thursday so will see what the next step for me is then.

It is, yeah, but TBF, there is not much point going for the fastest this time around unless you need it (8k?) or you think you will be keeping the card well into or past the 5090. Nvidia panicked that AMD might make a big leap, not as much with RT and vs their DLSS, but in other games where Nvidia have tricks up their sleeves, and because of that, the 4090 is ahead of where it would have been if not for AMD pushing them....which is a good thing.

Who did you get the card from? you have not had it long so you should be able to do whatever you want as long as it looks as new.

how are you going about returning? are they sending you one out prior or? also did you buy from OC?

I've got noctua a12's in my new build and its so much quieter than my old build. Only thing thats ruining it for me is the coil whine. I ran 3d mark last night again 500+loops and its still noisy.

Wondering if they will test the card for me before sending out..

They are picking it up tomorrow. My retailer is testing out my card before it gets sent back to me. Said thus might add a few days on, but I'm happy for that.
 
So just a little update. I pushed the voltage up to 1.1 on msi afterburner and it roughly halfed the coil whine noise. Running 3d mark it was really noisey. Now I can just about here it.
 
Glad to know there is some Suprim Xs without issue above. @voodoochild2008 are you out the game now? Haha.

Mine is back with the retailer. So should have an update soon. Last time I tested it was in Uncharted 4. Exploring Drakes house with little music it's all I could hear.

Makes sense, coil whine is caused by resonance. The old fix was to just put glue or wax on them
