Hello,

I have a coil whine problem in my rig coming from the GPU but I would like your opinion

I had read that this kind of coil whine is not dangerous for the devices , whether it is the power supply or the graphics card, could you confirm it to me.

What is weird is that the ]noise occurs at + 30FPS +, i've limited FPS to find out it does not occurs only at high fps as i was used to with coil whining GPU... I try to play with the sliders of MSI afterburner and I can hear that the sound changes .

After that I only hear it if the fans are at their lowest and the panel is open so if it is certain that it cannot harm my configuration, it is not very serious but I would like to be sure.

However I would like to understand because the problem arises with:

  • 2 different graphics cards (EVGA FTW3 2080ti and Asus Strix 2080ti Oc that someone gave me for test purposes). The two cards do not make this noise in another config
  • 2 power supplies of the same model (Seasonic Ultra Prime titanium 850w)
  • 2 motherboards of the same model. Asus Maximus Hero XI]Cstate on and off

  • Modcable cables or original cable

Seasonic sent me some cables with ferrites on it, haven't received yet but i'll try..

I'm considering ordering a Corsair HX850, HX are not seasonic based, not like AX and never had issues with corsair before

it's driving me crazy mostly because I don't understand WHY

Thanks for your help
 
I tried

2 GPU which didn't coil whine in another system (someone told me that, a friend but we did a postal exchange so maybe he's just less sensitive as I am.)

Two PSUs of the same model (i've made a exchange)

I've ordered an HX850 since it's now a seasonic base to see if that fixes the issue.. Do you think there a chance it does?

The noise definitely comes from the GPU since it varies if i play with OC sliders or graphic parameters and it disappears if i limit FPS below 40..

And yes it's very annoying ^^
