    You can try and hope you get one that doesn't have it, but like the silicon lottery, you are relying on the luck of draw.

    That is definitely coil whine, my GTX 1080 makes the exact same noise in heavy load conditions to.

    Not anyway I know of.

    I don't think you can overclock the CPU as I'm pretty sure laptop cpus are locked. MSI after burner is for the GPU, so yes you can try that out and see if you can get anything out of it.

    The Asus Z97 Sabertooth is a personal favorite of mine. Doesn't really matter if its the mark 1 or 2 but I liked it mostly for the amount of fan headers on the board (but it's also pretty reliable as the sabertooth line advertised to be durable.)

    I really don't advise overlocking a laptop as the heat output would go beyond the cooling capacity of the laptop. And laptops for the most part are usually struggling to keep components cool so adding more heat sounds like a bad idea. But you can still try I guess ( I don't know if you even can, download MSI afterburner and see if it works).

    Depends on your card, each card sounds a little different (my R9 390 had a super high pitch whistle noise). If you could post a clip it might help.

    Well, do this at your own discretion, but it shouldn't break anything. But if you have the game crysis 2 you just let it run the menu with the FPS limiter off and let the several thousand fps, and in theory, jiggles the winding back into place. This method is quite old and I don't know if it still works (but it did work with my R9 390). So I guess give it a shot if you don't want to exchange your card.

    Can't see how ramping up the fans would have anything to do with the coil whine.
  10. YubinTheBunny
    The way you describe it does make it sound like coil whine as you only get it under load. You could try to do the crysis 2 method to rid of it or RMA/exchange it.

    Get a static strap or plug your PSU in and touch it once in while can solve the static problem. As long as you practice the right safety precautions, there shouldn't be a problem. Then again I kinda just touch parts all willy nilly and stuff hasn't died on me... yet.

    NCIX is reputable, I don't get prebuilts from them but I get parts from all of them all the time. Canadian based company.

    Mind posting your full system specs, I'm curious.
  14. YubinTheBunny
    That's incredibly weird, do you clean install your drivers? If you don't you could try using DDU and reinstalling and see if that helps.

    Here's the one with linus' son
  16. YubinTheBunny
    What games are you playing?
  17. YubinTheBunny
    Sometimes, depending on the store they don't allow exchanges and returns after you open the box so you have to RMA it to the manufacturer.
  18. YubinTheBunny
    You could Still use MSI afterbuner (because it still works I think) if you already know how to use that.

    How about the MSI Armor? Probably cheaper then those two. https://ca.msi.com/Graphics-card/GeForce-GTX-1070-ARMOR-8G-OC.html#hero-overview
  20. YubinTheBunny
    EDIT: Oh wait I looked at your image wrong, That happens when you play in full screen and the 2 screens are in diiferent res. I derpped out there.

    The R9 280 cards (Except the R9 285) are just refreshes of the 7950 and the 7970 which is based on the Tahiti core. So if the op really wants to crossfire he could probably get a cheap second hand 7970 and crossfire that. I can understand the confusion as it's pretty hard to tell what AMD is rehashing and what is new sometimes. That's why I prefer to call them by their codenames instead.
  22. YubinTheBunny
    I don't think it would work as the 280x is from the tahiti family and the 270x is from the Curaçao XT (Pitcairn) family group. The GPUs that I listed are the ones that I personally tested and I know would works with the 280x. Also Nvidia is pickier when it comes to SLI, as they don't even let you mix RAM size.
  23. YubinTheBunny
    You can crossfire only within the same chip family, so if you have a HD7950, HD7970, and R9 280, those would work.

    Getting a K series is kinda a waste as your motherboard won't allow you to overclock it. I would get a normal 4690, and remember to clean and replace your thermal paste before putting your heatsink back on.

    Make sure that your windows is 64bit or you won't be able to use more then 4gb of ram.
