5080 & 5090 Coil Whine Thread

Bet you they have coil whine. I have never owned a high end MSI card without coil whine from the 580 lighting to the 3090ti to the 4090 suprims all of them had coil whine.
 
It could be I have a particularly bad sample too, not a lot of reviews out there for many of the AIBs yet so maybe that will become clearer in time.

If 5080s and 5090s were abundent in supply I'd maybe be tempted to return this one and try another, but right now I'll just live with it as my backup GPU is a noisy old 2080 with a blower fan cooler so this is nothing compared to the noise that thing makes!
Honestly it hardly anything. Having said that The 4xxx series zotac were all silent all of them. 2 4080, 2 4090's. 4070ti didn;t hear a squeak regarding coil whine. Their launch days fans however...that a whole different thread in itself.
 
MSI 5080 Gaming Trio OC.

So far I've played about 8 hours of games on the GPU. A mix of black myth wukong, space marine 2, dynasty warriors origins and cyberpunk 2077. During gaming the card has been silent with no coil whine. The only time it has made a slight amount of noise was during shader compilation on stalker 2.

Happy to to report that coil whine is inaudible unless you stick your ear on the card :)
