Yeah early results seem really good. Very impressive giving the power of these cards.

So, much to my surprise, the 4090 Strix OC has very little coil whine.
It’s still audible without any headphones but it’s far, far less than my old 1080 Ti Strix and 3090
FE so I’m pleasantly surprised. I even unlocked the framerate on some games and up at 350fps it’s not that audible at all.
JayZTwoCents also mentioned the lack of coil whine so I’m wondering if ASUS used different/better parts this time around.
Fits in an NZXT H710i pretty snug (excuse the neon lights reflection on the glass…)

Surprisingly tops out at 65c and 1500rpm in all the games and benchmarks I’ve thrown at it so far (and for those who have seen the H710i case with its lack of airflow, you’ll know that’s impressive).
ASUS TUF (non OC version).
Coil whines like crazy!
Not sure if it's worse than my 3080TI as I have now managed to tune my case fans down so they are a lot quieter now which in turn might be making the coil whine more noticeable.
Yup, I normally like to go for an AiO model for its quietness but have absolutely no need with these chonky monsters and good airflowFeels like we’re being spoiled with probably the best temp : performance ratio we’ll see for a while!

Has anyone tried this switch yet on the MSI Suprim or Gaming X?
You'd think at least one of the card manufacturers would have thought to do something about that cable.
A lot of lovely looking cards here, all ruined by that ugly ass cable!
Didn't realise these connectors were a standard, thought they were just an Nvidia thing.There's a 90 degree adapter coming (I think it was Cablemods) that sends them straight down. You can tuck them under the card then and bundle them up to make them less intrusive. Will also work much better with proper cables coming with ATX 3.0 PSU's.
Any MSI 4090 Suprim owners got bad coil whine? Sadly my 1st one was just above what I call acceptable but I have been able to find a 2nd one for tomorrow, so fingers crossed I was unlucky.
