5080 & 5090 Coil Whine Thread
- Thread starter Hostile_18
- Start date
5090's. I had the Palit, no coil whine even when benching. Had Astral Air, obvious coil whine when benching, but couldnt hear any whilst gaming over 200fps for example.
Now have Astral LC- minimal whine when benching, like 80% less than air at 600w. Defo quite when gaming. Very quite room with speakers, but muted sound and opened case in game, nothing.
Palit may be good on a water block if you already have that option...
If you get from OCs (bought all there), you get a 30 day return window remember and some MSI Suprims may land tommorow...
Well, unfortunately my 5090 Suprim is seemingly very noisy.
Like, mega. As in, ‘squealing when I move the mouse on the desktop’-mega.
Heartbreaking, since the performance and thermals / fan-noise is all great.
From my testing today, which incidentally involved around 3 hours of black screen sorting… the octopus cable was notably quieter than the native cable. Not quite sure to make of that but I’m thinking that somehow how that cable was sitting was causing the GPU to go ‘undetected…’ despite all RGB working.. very strange. The above mouse squealing was with the native cable btw - something was definitely awry.
I’ll give the full explanation and autopsy once I’ve made up my mind…
How have you got on with yours @GoRedwings19 ?? Better than me I hope…

Really sorry to hear that mate. Generally the Suprim was doing well statistically. See if it changes over next few days. Don't keep it if its still noisy in a week. Your paying too much for this and should expect nothing less than a top tier experience.
Here’s a quick vid with some Leon action… drowning out my speakers tbh!

Here’s a second clip showing how it does that ‘changing gears’ thing whenever you get a different scene… I think I was running Timespy Extreme at the time. Different coil whine sounds when it’s displaying different colours etc even when the frame rate is staying the same.

Yeah…
Edit: it reminds me of this.

So as for the Suprim I received last week. I have only used it for like 10 minutes to check all the ROPS were there. And a quick run of Steel Nomad and the monster hunter benchmark. There is coil whine maybe not to the extent of yours. Compared to my other 5 series cards. My first Suprim is pretty quiet coil whine wise once the fan kicks in and in a case you would barely notice it. This has more from my brief and quick test of it. My gaming trio is quieter than this and compared to the suprim liquid it is probably on par maybe even slightly more.
I was going to return it or sell it for what I paid for it....until my first Suprim went Kaput a day or two ago. I went to work came back and noticed my PC was off which is unusual as I never switch off my PC. Now when I fire it up, nada, not a thing, no fan spinning not even the lights on the RGB lights up not there was much to begin with. I am guessing it will have probably have to be RMA'ed. The annoying thing is not the RMA itself or the inconvience but as far as MSI cards go it was one of the quietest I have heard coil whine wise I am gonna be annoyed if I receive one back with more coil whine back.
My dilemma is what to do with the second. Like I said it been powered on for like 10 minutes if that and my intention not to keep it regardless of the coil whine situation. All of my 5xxx series cards have been MSI and I fancy a change for my collection. I was going to return/sell it and get an aorus master ice and astral for my collection setups.
Now the simple answer would to be get something like a palit or zotac and be done with the coil whine sitaution and you save a considerable amount of money. But the thing is when the first suprim was working even though there was minimal coil whine under normal usage it would neve been an issue as opposed to say having your head inside the case trying to listen to if it has coil whine and I never ever regretted getting it over say the palits and the zotacs which for the most part tend to be coil whine free.
I could also consider keeping the second suprim as even though it has coil whine which could potentially dissappear or decrease as it only has been powered for 10 mins. Although in my experience that has only ever happened once to me and that was the above mention gaming trio 5080. And believe me when I say I have had a stupid amount of Gpu's it only ever happened one time. And while I an not suceptible to coil whine like yourself. The collection must be completed otherwise it will bug me a lot and I tend to dwell on things if I don't complete it.
My plan was to have an astral for my asus board, aorus ice for my giga ice and suprim for a msi board...
@GoRedwings19 cat headphones?! Are you referring to my Zebra mug? 
My Suprim spontaneously died yesterday upon a reboot and I think it was an issue with the cable, or how I had inserted it.
To try and bring it back to life, have a go at using the octopus adaptor and following these steps to the absolute letter - this worked for me (although I can’t say which step actually sorted it - cable or drivers):

if by that does it sound like a 100 cats in a meat grinder then no.
Mine doesn't seem to be as louds as yours. Which makes you a winner aka my dad is tougher than your dad kinda fuzzy logic.
Holy crap dude that instruction set you might as well give me a bomb disposal guide book instead.....

Thank you for verifying my sanity
Yup that process is a little fussy but the combo of reseating, different cable (octopus) and new drivers should just about cover everything
My 5090 vanguard has coil whine if I don't cap the fps at 240, but even that is still much better than the 3090FE I had before.Here’s a quick vid with some Leon action… drowning out my speakers tbh!

After capping the fps, the card is very quiet, my case fans are louder than the card. But it still has coil whine while playing games but only can hear that if put my ear on the side window.

I gonna try the spider lead method tonight when I get home. Hopefully it fire back up. If not RMA time. Funny thing is I was using the native cable and it worked fine until the other day and I should say it still worked with the 5080 and the other suprimThank you for verifying my sanity

Native cable worked for me until a reboot… then it died.
Another thing I read - when you reseat it, double check to see if your motherboard’s GPU slot level (if it has one) is fully closed. This has resolved issues for some people.
5090's. I had the Palit, no coil whine even when benching. Had Astral Air, obvious coil whine when benching, but couldnt hear any whilst gaming over 200fps for example.
Now have Astral LC- minimal whine when benching, like 80% less than air at 600w. Defo quite when gaming. Very quite room with speakers, but muted sound and opened case in game, nothing.
Palit may be good on a water block if you already have that option...

Yeah good shout. I managed to RMA my vanguard, the “test report” states there is zero coil whine. So now I’m not sure what to do. There’s definite, loud coil whine when I was using it - but maybe it’s my setup? It’s a SFF build using all new components, the PSU being a 1000w Corsair SF1000 which should be more than enough for a 5080. Waiting to hear what my options are but assume it will be send to MSI for them to investigate (pointless) or have it sent back to me.
Yes, can defo be the match of components as well contributing. Coil whine isnt a 'fault', you can just return as unwanted?
Yeah I am within the 14 days (or was when I initiated the return) so that’s another option. But now concerned it’s not the gpu - and as the vanguard is a pretty decent model (and rare as hens teeth) I’m conflicted haha. Given no guarantee another model won’t have it, I might just suck it up.
^ edited to how I feel. If you don’t like it, then return it.
But I do think excessive coil whine is a fault. Nobody would willingly pay to play games that have all have an overlay filter of ‘symphony of bees’.
The only settings where the whine are tolerable on my Suprim seem to be using a ‘proper undervolt’ (curve adjustment) and then power limiting the card to the maximum extent permitted. At that point, it’s only reaching clocks of around 2300-2400, which is just poor.
