5080 & 5090 Coil Whine Thread

[Hostile_18]

So far no one has reported anything terrible, that just came from reviewers. Fingers crossed.

Cause there weren't any on shelves to buy?

Exactly. Statistically, no ****** has any to report reliably!

I have been getting @Personality+ to do extensive tests with his card. Sure he'll bring us his official verdict of the FE in due course

If you always use headphones you'll be fine, otherwise fans do ramp up here and there and coilwhine/buzzing is covered by fan noise for the most part.


Everyone has different tolerance levels... I'd prefer to have a dual bios 5090 with a silent mode personally even if it did have whine, at least then fans aren't in the mix as much.


Not as bad as some of the reviewer youtube videos though....


Let me add (stock settings)

Can we get audio?

I couldn't really capture it with the case closed on my phone, but could hear it...

the fans for the most part overpower it, when it's present.

If it bothers you, try an undervolt or just bluntly limiting the power in afterburner. Nothing wrong with that

I have an external MO-RA and will be watercooling the GPU, so I dont have the comfort of fan noise to mask coil whine.. Just waiting for the 5090s (all 4 of them) to reach people's hands and report how bad the coil whine on various models is.

Managed to get one of the Zotac 5080 Solid OCs which arrived today, it certainly has some coil whine but not intollerable to me.

My case is a Fractal North XL mesh with the three stock Fractal fans in the front, Arctic III 360 up top and one additional 140mm Arctic P14 at the back so not a silent build by any means but it is virtually silent when idle and even under load the fans and pump don't seem to really work too hard.

Appears to be worse when the FPS is very high - running Timespy at 1440p when it hits 250+ FPS it is auidble from about 50cm away with my case up on my desk, outside of those scenarioes though it seems to be fine to me though.

For my uses it is fine, and certainly with a pair of closed back headphones for gaming use I cannot hear it at all.

Sorry to hear that and glad it doesn't bother you. Last gen the Zotacs with the Giga were excellent for not having coil whine. Wonder why the zotacs have coil whine now. And likewise the Msi suprim X's were notorious for coil whine like the strix bu this time round it doesn't have any. Well at least not that sample in that review.
