We always tend to get a thread or two about Seahawks and coil whine. Shame they haven't fixed it after all this time

What type of PCB does the seahawk have gaming x or another custom pcb?
¨* I think its reference pcb
Is it that bad?
Is this an issue with all Sea hawks, I have pre ordered one, but never owned one beforeWe always tend to get a thread or two about Seahawks and coil whine. Shame they haven't fixed it after all this time

Yeah I remember the 1080's having issues too, I think one guy sent his back a couple of times and they all had them. Might be worth doing a forum search. I certainly wouldn't touch one now tbh, I'd go with the eVGA or Giogabyte versions that have yet to come.

This is the worst I've had on a gpu. Doesn't even have to be high fps, it's sitting in the witcher 3 on ultra at 70-80 fps screaming.
Someone posted a few pages back that they had one of these cards with no whine at all.
The evga 980 ti hybrid it replaced didn't have any.

I think it's reference cards in general as a lot of users here including myself are having the same problem.

Also the vrm fan on auto is quite noisy, defeats the purpose of the aio. This one's going back tomorrow.
I guess it was not from Overclockers

None from my Gaming X if it helps.

I'm going to change my pre-order to the MSI I think. I love my MSI 980Ti 6G I have now and wouldn't really want to risk it with a different cooler.

seems 130-35% power limiter is sweet spot as full 150% increase VRM heat possibly . Know the cooling can handle it, and even with 4 year warranty, would just increase the card life span a bit.
funny thing is , heard Gigabyte had to lower the TDP a little bit as it did draw a lot more voltage . Wonder if they'll ever release that as a beta bios to raise it back up

That's why I never even considered the Sea Hawk despite how much I like AIOs.
STRIX OC, Some electrical noise depending on FPS or load, not to intrusive or load but you can "feel it" if you pay attention, without G-sync WITH G-Sync enabled this keeps the FPS STABLE enough for some games or older games having crazy FPS LIKE 400FPS ....SOME extra electrical noise is generated
2065 max clock
11900 memory
stable , 67c open case
Do you not think that a 1080Ti is wasted on such a small screen like the 1080 size you have in your Heaven benchmark? Is that the res you play in? 1080p?

Sorry bud, forum rules and fair rules means I can't say
