Best answer. Coil whine is caused by electrical noise resonating the inductors. If you can reduce the noise (specifically the peak to peak amplitude) from the input, the coil whine should decrease proportionately. I had some crazy coil whine from a 980ti. Like it was audible from another room loud. Added a filtered cable as I had some on hand and the noise dropped a good bit. Swapped to a corsair rm850 and the coil whine completely disappeared. Undervolting and capping framerate helps achieve a similar thing but from a different perspective. Also a case study of why you should never cheap out on power delivery.

RX 5700's whine resembles with dial-up modem connection from the '90s 😊 By the way, it is not fair to put a relatively old Rx590 to a 300fps cap as it already has a greater workload than newer gen GPUs. If you want to lower coil whine on older GPUs, then you need to set it at lower cap values.

what worked for me is leaving my computer in some menus of the games where FPS is running away on you past 300 fps, and leaving it over nights, it basically warms up the coils and eventually "works" them into the more enjoyable sound. Doesn't work with every card, but worked for some cards for me. I also used my GPUs extensively for gaming, and over time the coil became less and less. Another huge thing is to have a good power strip AC conditioner, such as Furman with RFI shielding implemented. This will help a lot as well. Clean AC power going to your GPU is also depended on good power supply inside of your computer, I have EVGA 1000w Platinum series. Some cards will buzz more, but gaming extensively will likely help the sound to disappear. Changing the frequency of the card can make a difference too. Having a slightly less or more voltage can change the pitch or remove the buzz. There are about 5-6 variables, and if my suggestions don't work, then the card's design is such. My GTX 1070ti buzzed a lot, GTX 1080 buzzed less, and RTX 3070 from Gigabyte doesn't buzz for me to perceive it, unless I walk up to the computer and put my ear to it. Path of thinking: 1. Clean ac power going to computer 2. Clean/Great power supply of platinum or titanium certified levels. 3. NO dc power adapters plugged into the same outlet as PSU or laying on your computer wires anywhere. 4. Luck and blessings from Gods above That is all. The rest you can tinker with until you can either fix it or not.

There is another method of dampening coil whine or possibly getting rid of it depending on severity. If you are experienced with taking apart you GPU. Apply a thermally conductive silicone on and in-between the inductors, it'll dampen the sound of your coil whine. Instead of the vibrations coming from the coil inside the inductor happening freely inside the housing, itll happen inside a housing dampened by silicone on the outside. The thermal conductivity will still allow heat to transfer to the open air as well. Use silicone based thermal conductive products so you are able to peel it off. DO NOT use thermal conductive adhesive, only thermal conductive silicone.

After doing that for a while, he notice a decreasing in coil whine. Further than that, I saw this method being used by other users in forums/threads. I'm not sure if it's the right way to do it, but those with major coil whine problems could try it on their one risk.

Great video! I was wondering what your thoughts are on "undervolting" just by applying a core clock offset (i.e. +100Mhz) and then adjusting the Power Limit % in Afterburner, depending on your target power consumption (and therefore core voltage). I feel like that is a much easier as well as versatile way of dynamically limiting your card depending on the game you're playing (for example, you might not need the extra 100-200MHz when playing Valorant or CS:GO, but you most definitely will if you're playing Cyberpunk). The only thing you will then need to change is the power limit and your GPU will boost accordingly. I really like your content and I would love to hear your thoughts on this.

Had bad coil whine on my gigabyte 3060ti, to the point I could hear it asap when in game over noise cancelling headphones and games turned up. Cyberpunk was unplayable how load it would get when the game started up, it would be screeching. What fixed it for me was a few things after testing it with 3 PSUs. 1. A bigger PSU wattage reduced the sound a lot, first I ran it on my typical 650W which is what had the bad coil whine to begin with. After that I had a spare 750W psu and that reduced the whine significantly. In some games like BF2042, I couldn’t hear it anymore at all. After that a few months later I upgraded to a 1000W PSU and that fixed it mostly but could barely hear it now depending on settings, not even with headphones on. 2. Under volted in MSI afterburner. I set my settings to 962W at 1920MHz and it can run all games stable without any issues what so ever. I mainly under volted due to my 650W PSU having terrible coil whine to begin with to reduce noise a bit, however I keep the undervolt on as it reduces power and improves fps for me still, plus will reduce any coil whine if any comes up again. 3. Adjusting higher resolution for your games with higher settings reduced coil whine for me. I used DSR and DLDSR factors in Nvidia control panel 3d settings to make resolution 2K in most games and for me it didn’t reduce FPS by much either, maybe 10 fps which I could easily get back by switching a few settings from ultra to high. After this I didn’t hear the card at all, legit no coil whine at all.

May I also add, the PSU also has a big impact on the pitch of the Coilwhine, I tested 5 different PSU from BQ, Corsair and SS from gold to titanium and noticed SS and Corsair were among the quietest around, the pitch level went down by a lot. Maybe it got something to do with two separate PCI-E Power cable? Because BQ, which uses just one ist among the loudest I witnessed. I also want to use this for a small question, I noticed my EVGA XC3 3080 gets noisy (coilwhine) when the boost kicks in, FPS in this case don't matter, the moment the boost goes up to 1800 the coilwhine is present, I changed he GC, PSU and RAM. It all started with my 1070 which ran silent for 4 years until recently on a new x570 mainbaord.

I had this problem really bad on one of my old rigs. I was able to completely resolve the issue by disabling one of the cpu power saving options in the bios. I think EIST was causing the GPU to whine, if I do remember correctly. Unfortunately, I don't think it can be disabled on alot of motherboards.

Hey! One thing you didn't cover that worked for my 2080 Ti was adjusting the tightness of some of the backplate screws. Kind of like the RX 590 in your example, it's probably hit or miss depending on the model of card. I've also noticed it depends on load as well, not just frame rate.

I would like to mention that this problem goes away over time. Since its caused by the characteristics and selection of components (Coils mainly) which sometimes resonate at audible frequencies. As they age and wear their resonance frequencies will change overtime causing the coil whine to go away.

undervolt doesnt always mean less power draw, the card could end up drawing more amps therefore same wattage. In circuitry amps is usually what contributes to heat, either way if the card is consuming same amount of wattage then heat coming out will be roughly the same, differences from heat generated by the chip taking in more voltages minimal the more wattage the moarr heat. What i was saying is off topic tho, in this case yes it helps with wine on certain board designs. watched some of your previous vids its abit misleading what you said about undervolting previously, in stead it should be if you reduce the clocks and voltage together then the system will run cooler because its drawing less power due to if any chip is running near max out, to squeeze the last 10 percent of clock require the card to draw significantly more power, basically dial the card back abit and you will enjoy afar cooler and more efficient system or also to keep really power-hungry cards from throttling in small systems without taking much hit on performance.

your forgetting that most of the time, coil wine is amplified by the DAC (via magnetic induction). you could have recommended removing extra devices from the audio line or taping it away from all the other cables or even installing an extra DAC or adding inline caps to the PSU line. remember that coil wine is caused by the pieces of metal is your system passing their electrical resonances point way too much

Agreed. When reviewers will test coil whine just like any other noise level or temperature, manufacturers will start to modify their design to mitigate the problem. Sound is physics. With different metals, circuitry and quality and welding, they could improve the issue. For example all chips are boxes but could have different shapes. Boxes are sound traps in which waves can resonate for given frequencies.

I only get any noticeable coil whine at high power draw on my 6950xt, which Valorant doesn't really cause even at the 500 or so fps I avg in game. Its slightly more noticeable in games like TLOU but I have noise-cancelling headphones which do a great job at blocking it. I also do run an undervolt at about 1105 mV, so I wonder if that has any effect. (with clocks unlocked to 2750 or so)

Which should I adjust: How much I lower the curve, the voltage, the frequency of the selected voltage, or memory clock?
@niter43
@niter43 3 жыл бұрын
Games crashing more often = instability. Either it's too much of an undervolt for your sample (lower frequency or bump voltage, 25mhz/25mv step is good enough if it happens just occasionally) or memory is overclocked way too much. It all varies from sample to sample, there's no "guaranteed working" settings to dial in (well at least if you want meaningful gains). Some particular workloads/games might put GPU in unstable state even if everything else works fine.
