I’ve started using the coil whine as a sort of ‘power usage’ indicator. When it starts buzzing I know it’s working really hard. I’ve noticed the coil whine seems loudest in the 380-430w range and then disappears almost entirely by 450w. Sometimes enabling DLAA will also reduce the coil whine. I suspect it’s the tensor cores drawing power in a way which happens to reduce the whine. It’s been an amazing card for my use case (CUDA dev + flight sim)… the whine has kinda become part of its character :)
Mind if I ask which Tuf card? 4090 or otherwise? Looking at the Asus TUF 4070 OC but this concerns me. Always been an Asus fan but I'm not about to listen to that aneurysm inducing nonsense
@@AphillyatedYT I ended up going with a Asus TUF 4070 TI Super (from my 2080 Super) and after a week and a half with some good bit of gaming put in, I haven't heard any coil whine whatsoever. Really great card.
This noise from the coils also happened to my ASUS rtx 3090 strix, but this annoying noise, however, never gave me any damage to the card, but it is unacceptable, now, on my asus rtx 4090, this noise has not happened to me yet, but I have already noticed that this defect is regular on asus boards
@@cemsengul16this is cost of powerfull gpu nowadays bro, same as AMD, people that refunds GPU cause of coil whine are hillarious, just do research and see its common and totally normal on heavy load big power consumption cards
@@Sucharek22 it may be common today but that still doesn't make it acceptable. Just a few years ago coil whine was considered a defect and was eligible for an RMA. These billion dollar companies have gotten too greedy and lowered engineering standards.
I have a 4090 too and it makes that noise sometimes and it’s not as loud but it’s the white card that they don’t have much in stock should I just leave it will it hurt performance or anything?
no, its nothing to worry about, its just annoying. you can make it less noisy if you undervolt your card with afterburner. just watch a tutorial its not difficult at all.
@@John-lt8wv Are aorus fans much noisier than on strix with default curve? I also choose between these two, but dont want to get a whiny card again after my suprim
@@lvleless3136 yes, much, more noise, and the fan on master 4090 acts very weird, it will sometimes suddenly reach a extremely high rpm, and suddenly drop to normal rpm. You have to disable all rgb to avoid this.
@@lvleless3136 www.reddit.com/r/nvidia/comments/10gu0x6/fixing_gigabytes_fan_revving_problem_on_the_rtx/, see this post. Actually I would recommend 4090 suprim X.
Looking through this kind of videos because I’m not happy with my PNY’s coil whine, but compared to this demon summoning monster PNY is barely audible.
@@John-lt8wv I watch all the videos on RU-vid and did not find a video where it would be said about the coil wine on palit game rock. I'm currently choosing between strix, aorus and palit. what do you recommend?
I know it's way too late and funny no one paid attention to this, The plug is loose. There's a gap maybe that's why you are hearing sounds. Plug it well before it causes a fire.
