5080 & 5090 Coil Whine Thread

[kreas]

This was interesting from Guru 3D regarding the 5080 Suprim:



Hmm, I hope that the 5090 version is better than that…

I think they reviewed the 5090 suprim aswell no?

 

[kreas]

Is 1 lots of coil whine or 10 is the most?

higher worse

No, that was Tech Power Up.

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.

I've had 3080 and 4090 Suprims with no 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.

MSI 5080 Vanguard SOC here.

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

4090 Suprims with no coil whine.

mines is kinda bad.

I was doing some cuda stuff the other day at like 1 file a second.
it sounded like a mouse squeaking

MSI 5080 Inspire 3x here and over the weekend I've played a good few hours of EAFC 25, Cyberpunk, Alan Wake 2 and Black Ops 2 - not heard any coil whine at all. Will continue to monitor it but all seems good to me so far.

Also had it clocked between 2900-2950Mhz core the entire time I've been playing anything.

Oh no. If all 5090s have bad coil whine I'm 100% out. MSI and Asus changed their capacitors, I can't see them going back to ones that caused them so many RMAs.

Hopefully, pre ordered Asus 5090. I wont sell my 4090 till I have it and have no issues. Recently upgraded everything to AM5, including new PSU, so fingers crossed, as didnt realise PSU was a factor.

Does this thread have more or less whine than the Technical/General Discussion thread .

My report - MSI Ventus 3x 5080. Audible coil whine at very high FPS during loading screens. Very minor or non during normal gaming. I would say less noticeable whine than my previous 3070 FE.

I think so far signs are really good. We haven't had any users yet where it's a problem to the extent they had to go back/be swapped out. The story last Gen at this point was very different.

Oddly this time around reviewers with coil whine are worse than user experience, wheres last Gen it was exactly the opposite (only Debauer noted it as an issue on the 40 series).

 

[arknor]

you probably won't here it unless your rooms quiet.
you need to put your ear case level, it probably won't do it unless the cards under pretty high load

If it was only with your ear pressed against the case none of us would have any problems with it ever

Bad ones I've had you can hear it in different rooms.

Possibly due to the lack of example cards out there. The scalpers haven't had time to deliver them to their marks yet!

MSI 5080 Inspire 3x here

What's that? I've seen MSI Ventus, Trio, Vanguard and Suprim, what's the Inspire? Your location says Scotland but are you living outside the UK at the moment where they name them differently?

Inspire is a gold card, that's on the lower end but looks very nice IMO.

I've had 3080 and 4090 Suprims with no coil whine.

yea i've a 4080 suprim and i've never heard a peep from it. I don't even know if the fans turn on tbh. They are always off when I look

I love how overbuilt modern cards are, I just wish they weren't such a bad deal. I'd rather deal with the noise of yesteryear and have a viable 500 dollar upgrade path than a silent 1700 dollar embarrassment

I'm weird, but I'll take the silent embarrassment lol.
