    looks as clean as it needs to be and Noctua thermal paste is great stuff.
  2. That90sKid
    You could try pulling the heat sink off and see how well the thermal paste is spreading. If its not spreading well you can always add some small plastic washers on the back to improve contact to the gpu dye.

    Nice! I'm glad you were able to get it to work. I have never heard of ram causing coil whine before.
  4. That90sKid
    Well I'm glad you finally found out what was wrong. Pulling out the motherboard and replacing it would be a real pain.
  5. That90sKid
    They plugged it into a test system and it didn't have any coil whine?
  6. That90sKid
    I would give this a try. Delete all of those drivers and just do a fresh driver install.

    4x the specs of a titan on a single card. That would be one power hungry beast of a card.

    This would be quite difficult considering the many years of architectural research and develop that goes into creating graphics cards. Theoretically, assuming you weren't constrained by either time or money. Not to mention, getting them to even agree to create and develop such a gpu for just one individual. I guess you could technically get a graphics card with an insane amount of graphics processing power. How powerful? I really don't know.

    2700x you'll get 8 cores with hyper threading and have extra money left over.

    lower than this?
  11. That90sKid
    That's interesting, are you going to try one of these methods to try and fix it yourself?
  12. That90sKid
    It's good ram, I looked up your mobo specs and it says it supports 3600mhz non-ecc, un-buffered memory up to 64gb. So yeah, should work totally fine.
  13. That90sKid
    Let us know what happen. Really interested to hear what Sapphire does about it.
  14. That90sKid
    I wish you the best that's some of the worst coil whine I've ever heard.
  15. That90sKid
    Are you returning it or waiting for a reply from sapphire?
  16. That90sKid
    Wow... That's some really loud coil whine. I would honestly try contacting Sapphire about that and see if than can replace the gpu. Coil whine usually isn't covered under warranty. But, it's worth a try at this point. However, if you bought the card from a retailer and it's within 30 days I would suggest returning it for another card.
  17. That90sKid
    I really wouldn't throw money at the problem. You could try using the non overclocked bios and see if it helps any. The problem is the graphics card itself. The coils on the card are physically vibrating causing the noise.

    I used to own an msi rx 580 that had loud coil whine. I tried putting it in someones else's case that had sound dampening panels. It did very little if anything to stop the high pitched squeal. I also tried other strange fixes I read online like changing out the power supply, or even changing the processor. At the end of trying all this stuff I bought some good closed back headphones and turned the volume up a little more. The only thing that is going to work is getting a different graphics card all together.

    I'd upgrade to something like a 2700x or a 3700x if your motherboard supports it. That 2600g is going to bottleneck that gpu enough were you wont get 144hz.

    RX590

    That90sKid replied to srcomp8's topic in Graphics Cards

    The RX 590 is definitely a nice upgrade from a gtx 960. It's great for 1080p high settings but I wouldn't expect it to push 1440p gaming at 144hz all that well.
  21. That90sKid
    Heck ya man glad to help! you can't go wrong with a RX 590 8gb.
  22. That90sKid
    If you stream games I'd recommend the gtx 1660 super or ti version. But, if the RX 590 is a good price were you are and you don't stream go with that. Either of those cards are a MASSIVE upgrade from a 960 2gb.
  23. That90sKid
    Ya, I was hoping you would catch that deal but no biggy. Rx 570 is still the card I would recommend you. Just keep an eye out for deals like that. Here's a good deal if you're still looking. https://www.newegg.com/sapphire-radeon-rx-570-100412p4gocl/p/N82E16814202283?Description=rx 570&cm_re=rx_570-_-14-202-283-_-Product

    There's a Sapphire RX 570 4gb on sale on Amazon for $119.99 for prime day. I would suggest that. It'd be a pretty nice upgrade from a 1gb 650 and well within your budget.

    Not too bad out here in the mountains
