Hi there


As people have requested it here is a guide on what PSU's should help to reduce mild/low coilwhine issues.

Key Points
  • Sometimes even the best PSU on the market will not eliminate coilwhine
  • Coilwhine is not a fault, it is how electricial devices work and any card can suffer it, particular high-end cards, such as dual GPU solutions
  • OcUK stance on coilwhine is if you have a quality PSU and the card has audible coilwhine on an open test bench, we will replace it.
  • Does 970 suffer from whine more so than other cards, well return rates cannot be conclusive of this as we are seeing nothing unusual in return rates but the majority of returns are related to whine issues.
  • Whether a PSU is 80+ Gold does not necessarily mean its a good quality PSU, it is down to the internal components used and frequencies etc.














No money no object, best quality PSU's ideal for Tri/Quad SLI that I/8 pack recommend

Summary on premium Power Supplies


In short myself and 8 Pack have our favourites when it comes to having the highest quality PSU, we both are very happy with the Superflower Leadex models, EVGA P series are also exceptional as they too are built by Superflower. Another firm favourite is the Antec HCP 1300W Platinum and of course the Corsair 1500i is a great unit but the price is very high and in short the EVGA 1600W Superflower units are superior. When it comes to these power supplies Superflower and EVGA are giving the best quality but also at a lower price point than competing brands.

Summary

In this area if you want quality and at a good value for money price both EVGA and Superflower are kings here, the engineering quality is undeniable and they are fairly priced. Also again Antec quality is unquestionable. Also anything that is built by Seasonic should also be fine, XFX for example.















Lower cost PSU that are still built using quality internals


This is a list of PSU's suitable for those who are building a gaming PC but cannot quite afford a quality PSU, this is where it becomes quite a mindfield as there are so many 80+ rated PSU's but the ratings are not a guarantee of quality components.

For example here is an 80+ Gold certified PSU I'd not touch with a barge pole, its built to a price point and as such we do not recommend it and it would whine like crazy potentially as well.

Summary


Please bear in mind this is a personal recommendation by myself and what me and 8 Pack would use in our own home systems, recommend to friends or use on our overclocking attempts. We might work for OcUK but when it comes to power supplies we get very personal as we've come across so many units that have all the labels, certifications and marketings to make them sound good, OcUK even sells many such PSU's but we'd not touch them. Above are our recommendations on getting the best build quality for your money and without a doubt both Superflower and Antec are our favourites. For those who are concerned how Superflower only goes upto 1300W, well in the new year we shall have models going upto 2000W and Titanium specification.

So the above is what we would use personally and our first port of call is always Superflower, they have simply out shown all other brands when it comes to using the highest quality components and this shows in reviews that do ripple test, Superflower are normally always King for lowest ripple results, this is why some users have reported Superflower units reducing or eliminating coil whine for them. But bear in mind some cards are beyond help no matter what PSU you use.

When it comes to power supplies, remember if your building a high-end gaming PC that is like a sports car engine and anyone here old enough and lucky enough will know highly strung engines only run to their full potential and optimal ability when fuelled on premium fuels such as Shell Vpower/Nitro for example, run a high performance car on supermarket fuel and they can run terrible.

A high performance PC is no different, the power source needs to be of very high quality to ensure not only stable running but to try and keep noise levels to a minimum, especially electrical noise.

Of course the PSU cannot cure cards with coilwhine beyond help, but in short if your buying Superflower OEM built power supplies or Antec and then going with say a graphics card that is built around reducing coilwhine you will be very unlucky if you experience any whine.

So if your building a gaming PC then please do not try to save money on buying a PSU with cheap internals, it is simply not a good idea and our recommendations are as per above.







In short anything Superflower HX and Leadex are very high-end internally. Antec are also a good shout and also Seasonic OEM built units as well. I personally will not recommend anything else, though we do sell many other models so you are free to chose but you asked for my recommendation and well you have it. :)

Hi there


OcUK has taken moves to try and completely eliminate any kind of coilwhine by designing cards which incorporate coil whine reduction technologies on the 970 series.

Here are both those cards designed by myself and exclusively available from OcUK and www.caseking.de


OcUK GeForce GTX 970 "NVIDIA 970 Cooler Edition" 4096MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card **WorldWide Exclusive** @ £319.99 inc VAT

GX-205-OK_400.jpg


nonl2br

This very special NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 is the only one of its kind designed by our in-house VGA Guru Gibbo making this the worlds ONLY genuine reference 970 available in the world. Gibbo's design request were very specific, genuine NVIDIA 970 cooler, yes the crazy expensive one just like the 980 cooler and a NVIDIA BGA Board using all original NVIDIA components with absolute zero cost down in the design.
<br>
<br>
Infact Gibbo improved the design by changing the containers in which the inductors are located for better quality items to help reduce and eliminate any possibility of coil whine. We also instruct our factory to only build these cards with Samsung memory. So why buy this over any other 970, well it is most likely the quietest whilst under load (gaming) due to having the NVIDIA cooler and any chances of coil whine have being pretty much eliminated with the design changes Gibbo has had implemented.
<br>
<br>
So this card is ideal for those seeking as little noise as possible and the other major advantage is the NVIDIA cooler which offers much better cooling performance in smaller enclosures or when running in 2-way or 3-way SLI.
<br>
<br>
Finally of course this card is perfect for when Half Life 3 is finally released at some point in the future and of course the latest GTA V game which is now confirmed!
<br>
<br>
The GTX 980 is the worlds fastest GPU and the GTX 970 offers the most advanced performance in its class. Each delivers 2x the performance of previous-generation card, bringing new gaming experiences to virtual reality, and ultra resolution 4k displays.<br /><br />

Enable the detail of 4k monitors, on a 1080P display. DSR produces smoother images by rendering a game at a high resolution, then downscaling it to the native resolution of the display using advanced filtering.<br /><br />

GeForce GTX 980 and 970 cards support tear-free, super-fast NVIDIA G-Sync monitor display technology including 4k. Together, these technologies provide the most immersive and competitive gaming experiences possible.<br /><br />

GALAX GeForce GTX 970 OC Silent "Infinity Black Edition" 4096MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card **WorldWide Exclusive** @ £299.99 inc VAT

GX-010-GX_400.jpg


Since Overclockers UK introduced our Infinity system range, demand for high performance zero compromise systems has exploded. Our Infinity brand represents performance hardware coupled with a unique and stylish aesthetic.

Since the release of high end Maxwell architecture, the hardware game has changed. The new GeForce cards offer revolutionary new technologies and class leading performance alongside low operating temperatures and impressive power consumption.

The GALAX GeForce GTX 970 OC Silent "Infinity Black Edition" is a collaboration of one of the largest Nvidia board partners worldwide, Overclockers UK Graphics Specialist: Andrew Gibson and Overclockers UK Technical Specialist & Overclocking World Champion, Ian ‘8Pack’ Parry.

Originally the Galax 970 EX OC Black Edition was intended as a high performance option for customers looking for the ultimate gaming experience with class leading performance. Our close partnership with Galax allowed us to specify a list of important modifications that would make the GALAX GeForce GTX 970 OC Silent "Infinity Black Edition" a real show stopper.

Primarily, to fit the Infinity aesthetic, we demanded that the external design of our Black Edition card was sleek and stealthy. Adding to the already imposing look of the Galax design, this new, aggressive appearance really highlights the intent behind this product.

Additionally to the colour change, we included a nickel plated I/O plate, heatsink and heatpipes to compliment the premium nature of the product. The already impressive backplate on the card has been accented with a stylish "Infinity: Inspired by 8 Pack" decal.
The imposing looks of the card would be nothing without the ‘go’ to back up all the show.

Building on the already impressive performance of the GTX 970 platform, world class overclocking expertise from 8Pack has been implemented to fine tune the BIOS of this card to achieve maximum safe, reliable performance from the GTX 970.

As an industry leading gaming and high end hardware specialist, Overclockers UK understands the importance of offering a product that meets a customer’s expectation. A major worry for any enthusiast is operational noise under load. We have used this knowledge to reduce coil whine by using higher quality components and also using glue to attach the inductors to the PCB to help reduce electrical vibrations which help reduce whine.

This collaboration with Galax has allowed us to build what we believe to be the finest example of a GTX 970 on the market today.

This product is exclusively available from Overclockers UK and Caseking group throughout UK and Europe. We suggest European customers visit www.caseking.de to purchase this card in Western Europe and Eastern European customers purchase from http://www.kellytech.hu/

The first card is built using no cost down methods whatsoever and is why it is built on a 980 PCB which is way beyond what a 970 required and we had the inductors placed in higher quality containers to keep any noise to a minimum and then had insulating pads between the inductors and genuine NVIDIA cooler.

The second card was built again using highest possible quality inductors and containers, but we then also had them attached to the PCB using glue which can be very clearly seen as the glue used is red.

These steps help to reduce and eliminate coilwhine completely! :)
 
Any chance you can get Galax to extend the warranty to 3 years? For £300 you can get top end brands... its a budget brand after all and has 1 year less warranty!!

Id pick one up if it does indeed not suffer from whine and has the extra year warranty.

Warranty is set at factory level, Galax is actually one of the largest highest premium brands on the market. They are in no way a budget brand, not even remotely close, but if the factory is set on 2yr than so be it. Getting such a change can take a long time to action.

For instance MSI was 2yr but it was OcUK who influenced them to change to 3yr, eventually they did it after 2 years of constant moaning at them.

Another example is Sapphire, AMD's no.1 and largest partner, yet they use 2yr warranty and we've asked them for years to change it.

Who knows maybe one day. :)

almighty15: Tech does lots of stuff it's not designed to do, doesn't make it a fault particularly within limits (switches bounce, engines make noise/fumes etc etc) - it's more a characteristic.
All electrical systems make noise, it's just a question of how much and at what frequencies & GPU manufacturers cannot control all the variables to be able to eliminate it.

Gibbo: I'd try to emphasise that the CiT unit is NOT recommended - at a glance it looks like you're saying it's good (being pretty much right under a title that says 'Lower cost PSU that are still built using quality internals')
I know you do say it's an example of certification not equalling quality in your text but skimming the list that could easily be missed.

Good idea, will do as don't want anyone buying that JUNK! :)
 
yes whats the point of a psu thread and showing quality ones then stick something so bad in it :confused:

To prove that ratings are absolutely meaningless, it is marketed as an 80+ Gold unit, whereas in reality it is absolute and utter junk.

It would probably explode if you tried to run anything higher than a 750 on it and we'd not recommend it then.

Before you flame us you might want to read the product description and read what I posted very clearly about it being absolute rubbish.

The point is just because a PSU might be 80+ Gold does not mean it is good quality, that is our point.
 
thing is people still associate products with ocuk. whether you state its bad or not.

some clown will not even read that and still buy it. why ? because ocuk is selling it.

i personally feel you shouldn't even stock garbage like that but thats up to you.


We have customers who want that garbage though unfortunately and request it, we give our recommendations but the final decision is always with the customer. We do not recommend it and would always suggest otherwise, but we have customers who buy such power supplies in their hundreds. As I suppose for an office PC they do the job fine it is just something we'd never build a system with or recommend.
 
you wont change their mind. they are a business at the end of the day, and are catering to their customers needs...well, 'wants'.

Same argument way back when, when they were selling those ghastly q-tec psus.


Is simple though.

Hi OcUK

We want to buy the components to build 1000 systems from you, we want this CPU, motherboard, PSU, RAM, you need to supply all parts or we go elsewhere.


The kind of customers who want such power supplies are using them in very basic PC's without discreet graphics for which they are fine, these orders generate us £100,000's in revenue each year and the returns are fine, infact typically none come back simply because the PSU never exceeds like 200W as such computers spend their day in outlook, MS word or excel.

Were here to meet all our customers needs, not just the forums. :)

The difference is when we get a customer who is like Hi OcUK I want to build a gaming PC with a 970 and use this power supply. It is at that point we refuse to supply the PSU as we know it will not work and refuse to sell the items unless they buy a PSU we are happy to recommend.
 
Ahaa gibbo but which card is your favorite out of the two and whats the best card to go with and ive got a corsair cx750m psu ?

tink


It is a tough choice to be honest, as both cards have being designed to be aesthetically rather stunning and with low noise in mind.

Your PSU is not one of my favourites to be honest, but it should be fine with these cards.
 
I had a CiT 750 Watt PSU, many years ago, it went *snap crackle pop* after 6 Months use, lucky for me a quality Asus Motherboard sved the components.

I wouldn't use a CiT PSU even for a bottom of the barrel budget build, its always best to spend that extra £20 / £30 on a quality PSU. :)

We'd recommend these for those building a budget PC:

They might only be 350W models, but they are genuine 350W models which will happily take 350W load 24/7.


We ourselves sent the 500W CiT model off to our Budapest HQ who have power supply testing facility, the results they got were that the PSU was actually a 250W unit, and could only sustain 500W load for a maximum of 37 minutes before failing, due to low cost components being used.

It really is a shame that companies can get away with miss-labelling power supplies.

Now we have these test results back from them, I have actually removed the unit from sale, if our trade customers want it we shall let them buy it with them knowing these facts, as such it is now removed from our website for sale.

I don't know exact details but the current consumer PSU side of Superflower isn't the same one as their original consumer PSU division - sometime around 2005 it was spun off the enterprise side of the business.

I still wouldn't personally put them in the same league as Seasonic, Delta, etc. but their current offerings seem fairly decent.

I'd say they have definetely surpassed Seasonic now both on an engineering level and reliability. :)
 
So, Gibbo, are these ChIT PSUs worth buying for my new HW-E rig?
Only got £19.99 left, so it's really the only option :p :o

Too late!
We have removed from sale, our Hungarian division have professional PSU testing equipment which revealed it's actually a 250W unit and some very questionable components, after 37 minutes it exploded when requesting over 300W draw.

We've removed from website and will only sell them to those who are happy to order them after we've told them it's a very bad idea and we won't be held responsible for them exploding, burning your house down etc. etc.
