Yes i do, i just have no idea how i would accomplish it in this case. I would obviously need more than a 120 rad. But idk where it would go or where i could put the pump/res. Maybe get a pump res combo? Would it be powerful enough for gpu and cpu?

Now i have looked at guides and prices for things but i am unsure of some stuff. Is a d5 pump good? I have a midtower case and i want to put a cpu and gpu block loop in. Now the picture i have put in here is a little bit old, i have since swapped out those two cards for a Radeon VII. I have found a full cover block for the card that i was wanting to use, cant remember the brand off the top of my head. Now would it be possible to set up a loop

in this case? Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. If you want any more information please let me know. Thanks!

Idk if this was the right section, but I have Asus rog Strix 1080, should I use gpu tweak 2 or msi afterburner?

Coil whine usually comes along with very high framerates. On the AIDA64 GPGPU benchmark, my chip finally reaches its stock target frequency of 1630 MHz. It spits out 13.146 TFLOPS computing power.

I ended up returning the card because two of the fans did not spin right on my strix Vega. Thinking I’m just gonna get strix 1080

Coil whine (the noise you hear) happens when some conditions are met. Several things have to be in such way or between some small ranges that in combination, would cause the video card to whine.

 

For example, when your power supply outputs only 11.5v ... 11.8v instead of 12v or higher, AND the video card gpu usage is between 50% and 80% AND the DC-DC converter on the video card runs at a frequency that's quite narrow, like let's say between 300kHz and 350kHz  (frequency is often dynamically adjusted with the voltage used by the gpu chip, which also varies with turbo boost frequency or default overclocked frequency and so on), then it could happen for a video card to whine.

 

Your power supply could be slightly weaker than it was a few months ago, for example maybe some capacitors have weakened enough to make a noticeable effect on the stability of the output voltage. 

Maybe the pci-e power connectors are a bit loose, or the contacts are a bit oxidized, adding a bit of contact resistance and therefore causing the voltage to drop.

Maybe the video card heatsink is filled with more dust, or the fan is dirty, which means the video card is hotter than normal which in turns means the video card no longer reaches the highest turbo boost frequencies, which could mean that unlike weeks ago, your video card runs within another range of frequencies than normal (and such, in combination with other factors, could cause coil whine)

 

So nobody can tell you exactly why you have coil whine... it's not a BAD thing anyway, it's just annoying.

Moving to another slot won't help. Changing the pci-e power connector and cable may help, simply because by pulling out and shoving connector in, you may make a better connection. Or moving cables around, you may make better cable management,

Removing card and blowing some air in the heatsink to remove dust could help.

Chaning power supply could help.

For all of the above there's no fool proof solution one could give you

My psu is only a couple months old, corsair cx850m. Never had this problem until I installed the rx Vega 64. Well maybe I have heard this sound before on my rog strix 580... can’t really remember. But it definitely was not this prominent, not until the Vega. So I thought it was centered around the Vega. So when I changed to my 580 and heard it that’s why I’m really wondering if it’s my psu, and I saw people saying it could be coming from the southboard?? Anyways would you suggest I try a different psu and see what happens?

I’m trying to figure out why I’m getting coil whine now. It didn’t happen before I upgraded to a vega64. I have a corsair 850m. It’s a buzzing electrical sound from the area of pcie cable connected to gpu. The sound isn’t coming from the psu on its own. Is it possible something is wrong with the psu? Or maybe the pcie cables?

There are likely to be inductors near the PCIe connector so it probably is just plain old coil whine.  It can be pretty hard for our ears to pinpoint at such high frequencies.

This is with a card that had nothing wrong with it. It’s a rx580 that I used before Vega 64. Once I sent back Vega and put the 580 in I heard it

Anyone help??

Anyone help me answer my question?

Would trying a different pcie slot help at all? Could that cause this? Could the power supply cause problems with fans not spinning at all same speeds?

Should I try a different pcie slot? Try a different cable?

Coil whine from a cable.... Not really possible id say. Do you have a different psu? It could be both cards have coil whine

The card I’m using right now never had this problem. It’s coming from where you plug the power in. I don’t understand this. I don’t have a different psu

I’ve been listening to this for the past couple days and the sound is distinctly around where you plug the pcie power into the graphics card. Is this the power supplies problem? I’ve tried two different cards..

Ok I’ve just tried with 2 seperate pcie cables for the rx Vega 64... made the whine worse. I’m just gonna return and buy gtx 1080 lmao

It helps mainly for the amount of power or amps your pulling through the PCI-E cables since your splitting it among more conductors. While it wouldn’t have a big effect it can help a little.

As it is right now, I have some coil whine but through wattman overlay it seems my gpu is only pulling maybe 110watts max. Is this kind of low? Is this because of the single connection I have it on?

Theortically it should be fine but since it is a pretty power hungry card I would sugges to seperate it if you have the extra connections to do so. 

I heard that using separate cables helps with the power going to the card. This true?

Can I use one slot from a modular power supply that has dual 6+2 pin connectors to power my rx vega64? Or should I use two separate cables?

So on heaven benchmark I was able to get up to 1534mhz. Am I just going crazy to think this is a bad card? The only game it makes the whine on is bless online.

Sounds like coil whine, which is the sound of a fan going bad. What temperature is the card at?

The card temps are fine, but idle core clock is at 27mhz but my rx580 was at 300... it’s not just one fan though... if it was just the whine I could deal with that. Should I call Asus support? I know they are pretty shit. Could the card not be getting enough power? It seems like I get the same performance from this as I did my rx580...

Please anyone help me with this. I’ve tried different games, sometimes I hear the whine and then sometimes I don’t. I can’t get the core clock to go past 800... no matter what I’ve done. Haven’t tried lowering voltage yet though... is this card defective?

Ok, I only changed the power limit to +50% and I'm testing around with undervolting a little bit. But more than -31 mV doesn't work, well I haven't got that much luck out of the silicon lottery than with my i7-6700K, which is pretty good. As soon as I am done with undervolting the chip, I'm gonna overclock the HBM2.

 

I also have made a costum fan curve too, but I am still experimenting, if I should use it, or just go with the pretty good factory curve.

In my costum curve I definitely do not use a 0 dB fan, I let it run at just the lowest possible RPM, which is around 1100 RPM. That's completely silent, of course.

I’ve just heard this strange noise that my graphics card makes. Almost like a whine when under load. And I thought I was going crazy. But some of the fans don’t spin right. It’s not just the same fan either. Now I think this card has coil whine... Is there a way to fix this? Or should I exchange? I tried other games, it won’t even get past 600mhz for clock speed. I really think this card is defective

I have the same card, and I upgraded from a MSI GTX 1070 and I noticed that the Vega isn't capable of running at Full Speed, mine maxes out at about 1505 MHz +/- 50 MHz.

 

Do you use it stock or did you change anything in the MSI Afterburner?

I just use it stock, although I changed power limit in afterburner

i got a reference xfx vega 64 yesterday i tweaked the card with Wattman

core is at 1632

hbm is at 1000

voltage for both is 1055

max power limit 

fan 1000-3200

i get amds advertised boost, and sometimes get to 1600mhz, but the card normally does 1560-1580, while 76c being my max temperature

i attached my performance logging file and you can open and view it in Adrenalin charts https://adrenalincharts.com/

20180712-104306.CSV

 

since you have an AIB card, you can do a higher voltage like 1060, or 1000 to get to 1632 and higher. 

Should I use wattman instead of afterburner?

Is there a reason why my RX580 in crossfire would max on the core clock speed but my vega64 does not even get close to it?

Download the Asus strix fan control software and then disable 0 decibel fans.

On my strix 1070 it caused the middle fan to not spin at all, it just wiggled in the place, but didnt start spinning. And of course Asus said that it is the correct behaviour.

Link to it? I use afterburner for the fan curve.
