Gigabyte 1080TI Black - Horid noise when playing games

[ecksmen]

So just popped the 1080ti into my machine and the noise it creates is abosultely horrendous when playing a game. It stops the second I exit a game. I've check the fans and nothing is blocking them, they spin up faster as more heat is produced but the noise remains. It seems to change frequencies with what's on the display.

What am I doing wrong?

PSU is an EVGA 750, no issues before. Good shout on video will do something now.

Skip to 2:37. Trying the benchmarks now - ignore the mess of my room.

So is this likely to be the PSU (which until this point has been fine with an r290) or the 1080ti?

Roll up a paper tube to isolate the location of the sound. Could be either the card or the PSU.

This is why PCs belong under the desk.
The case looks like an aluminium one, so I would assume lacks any sound dampening features.

It's a SilverStone FT02 - "Foam padded interior for advanced noise absorption" but I can hear this very clearly. The machine is on the desk just for testing and while I sort out cabling. The office is a dump right now. Using the paper tube technique it sounds like its coming from the PSU. I guess I'll be ordering a new PSU tomorrow. :S

i ran the bench for an hour plus, then hammered it playing games for another 2 hours. performance is stunning, think ill call them today and order another psu.

Whine happens when it's doing 50FPS up to 130FPS, at 6K FPS the whine is extremely high pitched.
