The Ampere RTX 3090 Owners Thread

[gpuerrilla]

After being stuck in the 3080 queue fiasco

I succumbed to a moment of weakness and desperation

Really impressed with the physical build quality - just have to install it now

Welcome.. Phil!

 

[Steedie]

It’s here!

 

[gpuerrilla]

Looking nice Steedie!

AB is killing me, taking absolutely ages to bench each voltage point. Up to [email protected] and already hitting max tdp. Only another 20 or so to go. might actually be able to game on it in a couple of days!

 

[Kaapstad]

Welcome all and on TROH.

To get on the Roll of Honour all you have to do is post a pic with your user name on it of your RTX 3090​

​

 

[agnes]

I'm getting kind of sick of the Asus Strix 3090 OC coil whine at this point, it's so ****ing loud! It died down for a bit, but then after installing a waterblock and backplate, it's come back in force again.

Never really run into it, do people have success changing PSU manufacturers to help reduce it? I'm currently running a Corsair RM850, thinking of trying an Asus 1kw

 

[Hakanese]

1kv psu gives you much less of a chance of getting coil whine, but doesn't mean you might not get it. A good rated 1KV should give you less chance of it. I'm running 1K enermax, dead silent except when my fans ramp.
The whine generally happens the harder you work your psu, so to minimise the chances of it happening, make sure it doesn't work too hard, drop voltages or up the psu power limit. what's your card drawing when the whine starts?

 

[The_One]

im running a palit 3090 OC with an EVGA 750w and have no coil whine

 

[gpuerrilla]

Yeah no loud whine on mine, not had any on this PSU its a 750w Gold Seasonic. This is on 290x, vega56 and now a 3090FE.

 

[Steedie]

I've only noticed it in some game menus so far, in-game it seems ok. Running a 1200W Super Flower

 

[RexAlba]

My understanding is coil whine has nothing to do with PSU, its purely down to type of coils and amount of current going through them on the GPU isint it?

I have seen people that change PSU that either the whine is not as bad, or it disappears. You are correct that it can be the GPU and its not the PSU at all.

Actually doing some more reading and makes sense. It can be either, PSU's have coils in them aswell... so do motherboards so it can come from any of them.

Yes like you say any electronics that use coils. Hence coil whine.

Congrats @Dontrocktheboat - enjoy!

Congrats @Dontrocktheboat - enjoy!

Tnx mate she is a beast. A little coil whine but not too serious

Don't worry too much yet, mine was really bad but is virtually silent now, took a good while for it to go though.

If you fancy burning it in I can send you my ETH address?
