Now I think I most likely will give up on Super Glue method and just try and find a 2nd hands card that I can test and is whine free like Hostile18 got lucky on Suprim X. Or buy and return a bunch from different stores spread out. I so badly want a whine free card and this is frankly stupid that the vendors cannot fix these problems and tell us its acceptable when it is no where near!!
With further research it seems Superglue method is iffy at best and does nothing to stop the coil whine 4000 series has. Though it does not hurt the card at all, it seems to make almost 0 difference regarding coil whine.
There is no reason to wait that long. The application is usable within 30 minutes to an hour, tops. True, this does happen. That's just weird. The backplate shouldn't have anything to do with it... Can it hurt waiting that long? Like putting it back together sooner could the almost dried...

After looking at Brothanumsie results in this thread with same inductors on 6950XT Red Devil Liquid as those on Gaming OC and they are spaced enough apart to apply supr glue easily, it did not work for them.

Plus lexluthermiester stated while they have had success in a PM, they only completely silenced Galax 4090 and Palit and Zotac still had some noise but was softer and blended into case fans. Well both Palit and especially Zotac have loud GPU fans so wonder if those were insanely noisy samples that were somewhat to moderately quieter, but still had too much whine and of course the bad loud fans drowned it out.
From my experience there is no good RTX 4090 in terms of whine I have had at stock. Some less bad than others. Gigabyte Gaming OC is not good, but it is good compared to others overall. SO in reality most are just less bad than others and that is why people say it is good. Its a shame.
Hostile18 I need the unicorn you got, but afraid to try too many Suprim X as most are very loud whine before I get flagged for too many returns somewhere.
