Coil-whine in games but not in FurMark?

[Tieox]

As per the title, when in Elder Scrolls Online especially I have coilwhine, yet when running FurMark over and over their is absolutely zero coil whine.

 

Is their something I am missing that could be causing this?

Coil whine depends on which parts of your GPU are under load and the type of load and or FPS it is running at. So different games/benchmarks = different results.

Coil whine does not depend on how much load the GPU is under, it depends on the specific task.

In my experience it depends on the FPS, since you usually have rather low FPS in FurMark it wouldn't whine much. Run some low-load benchmark like Unigine Heaven on lowest settings and it will whine too.

By load I meant pretty much what @Juular said, because I've experienced the same with mine. If the GPU is running at high enough FPS it'll whine, otherwise there's nothing.

Yeah I know.

Yeah, sorry, I thought that was a response to what I said

Strange that it only begun to exhibit such a coil whine today, been fine for months beforehand with zero noise.

Well was on ESO just now, and it stopped whining.  I shall chalk it up to a win.

My card whines noticeably if I go over 1000 FPS which can happen in some loading screens or menus if I don't use vsync, but during normal use it's never noticeable.  Essentially, the whine is not dependent on load or percent utilization, but framerate.  However, that's just what mine does, yours may be different.  The point is that it's not necessarily as simple as max load = max whine - different kinds of demands and actions can cause a different outcome.

it depends on the amount of current that the gpu is puling, furmark can be causing the gpu to pull more than the game dropping the audible frequency into human hearing range.

sorry I misread the title furmark could be puling enough power that it's going above your audible capabilities while the game puts it into your capabilities
