5080 & 5090 Coil Whine Thread

MSI Gaming Trio 5090 here. Quiet 99% of the time, really REALLY loud coil whine during some game options menus (pre game load, which makes no sense) and during a specific 3dmark test for raytracing (Solar Bay). It's probably worth mentioning that I've never heard a peep out of the fans on the thing, even under load (the toggle switch is on gaming, not silent) so this probably exacerbates it a little. I'm grabbing some other ray tracing benchmarks to see if there's a relation there or not.
 
Bagged an Astral today from a competitor, I basically could have gotten the Suprim AIO, all I had to do was press the buy button but I just couldn't bring myself to do it considering AIOs and how it would look funky in my case with my CPU AIO, and the Astral just looks sooo good and will fit my case/aesthetic well. I know it's probably gonna have coil whine guaranteed since it's Asus but let's see how loud it's gonna be, hopefully not as loud as the TUF I returned.

The reason the coil whine gets typically louder on the menu screens is because it will be outputting a silly amount of FPS. Also certain benchmarks/games brings out coil whine more than others.

Having said that. I play league which even the most basic of cards can run but usually I am between anywhere between 500-900 fps depends what's happening on screen. But on Avg it's usually hovers around 550-600 fps. Funnily enough I don't hear any hint of coil whine. Not even when I had the suprim liquid X which had more coil whine than the rest of my 5xxx series cards.

@DizzyZ When I had the suprim liquid X I didn't notice pump noise. And congrats on getting the Astral. Just for reference sake how loud was the TUf coil whine wise. I know it difficult to quantify using words and I don't know what prior cards you have had with really excessive coil whine. I have tons of cards with coil whine. Strangely enough for some reason I don't know why it is my fave cards are the ones that just happen to have coil whine. Besides the Chonky 4090 FE that had no coil whine but I loved it. Ran a bit hotter than AIBS and louder but that the only 4090 card I miss. Hmmmm might pick one up later on if the 4090 prices drop.
