more power = more coil whine in general. It was most loud in cards 300w or more and much quieter in lower tier cards like 180w - 220w. That is my experience in last 10 or so cards anyway. High power gaming laptops have it also in my experience, i can hear the same screaching
@@limitless-hardware1866 nah I am just messing with you dw, although I have seen so many strix cards that SCREAM but overall gpus are much better and quieter
I just bought new colorful 4070, it was long delivery from far away, and I am very upset now because it whines. Worse that it seems there are spoiled shipment or spoiled revision, becasue 5/15 people in recent rewievs say it whines. First I asked refund and still discuss this with seller. But now i decied to open case and hear. And seems like new vide card makes whine everything at once, PSU, motherboard and itself also. Yes, my psu old and little low power, it is bronze Cougar 550w in cool red painting. And it must have enough wattage to cover 200w of gpu+100w peak cpu. (can do 512w on 12v line in specification), and he does work well. But. Everything whines. Not sure if I should give up and start get money on new rig (pus mb cpu memory in pack). Or continue argue about 4070 refund.
I strongly recommend upgrading your PSU, it can make other components whine. and the cougar unites werent that great when they were new anyways And in keeping that psu you are running the risk of destroying your whole system if something goes bad. Especially because capacitors and other components in PSUs age and get worse with time. i would highly advise AGAINST running the card with this power supply. For PSU buying advice for 40 and 30 series cards, we have this video on our channel: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-X079yO2c4yg.html there you find everything there is to know about modern GPU and PSU combinations
@@limitless-hardware1866 that psu worked fine with previous 1070. While i checked everything, i put it back once, and it was happiness, everything quiet! About risk, I'd say there is more of that in trying new units on old and my only rig, any spoiled unit can blow everything, unlike one that work long and fine. Will check video
yep, as explained, whine at high fps even under low loads is very common. but most of the time not a valid reason for refund, as it s not present most of the time / in cases where it is actually hindering the experience. Many Cards will whine at least a bit in those situations
