RTX 2070 SUPER GIGABYTE windforce OC 3X 8G (super loud fans and coil whine)

[Rocky_Highway]

Hello!

 

Just got my RTX 2070 Super a day ago. Had it set up and everything seemed fine, untill i turned on my PC. My Gpu started to coil whine, i turned off my PC reinserted the gpu and all. Turned it on again but it started doing the same thing again.

I chose to ignore it and download the latest Nvidia drivers, after a bit of use the coil whine stopped and my fans started turning on and off consistently. I went to my MSI afterburner and had my fan speed set to 25 (i set it to 25 bcs i used to own a GTX 960 4GB and on idle it would work just fine and the temps would be great too). That did not fix my problem but just made it worse, my gpu started turning on and off consistently i tried turning up the fan speed up to 30 but found the sweat stop at 40% fan speed. But that still does not fix my problem its too noisy on idle and in game it just gets me higher temps then id like. I tried to set it to auto while gaming but then the gpu automatically goes to 60-90% fan speed which is way too loud and i do not understand why its doing that bcs when i had my 960 i could play all games at 40% fan speed and get good temps and almost no noise. I have went to some forums and saw that some ppl had the same problem and almost everyone said that they will get a refund and a new gpu from a diff manufacturer. Should i do the same or is what is happening to me normal ?

 

Test results when changing the fan speed manually:
Gigabyte RTX 2070 super Windforce (3 Fans)
Fan speed 1%: Fans loudly goto 600RPM and turn off, repeating every 8 seconds, with a slight clicking noise.
Fan speed 3%: Fans loudly goto 720RPM and turn off, repeating every 6 seconds, with a slight clicking noise.
Fan speed 5%: Fans loudly goto 850RPM and turn off, repeating every 5 seconds, no clicking noise.
Fan speed 10%: Fans loudly goto 1300RPM and turn off, repeating every 3 seconds, no clicking noise.
Fan speed 20%: Fans loudly goto 1400RPM and turn off, repeating every 2 seconds, no clicking noise.
Fan speed 30%: Fans loudly goto 1500RPM and turn off, repeating every second, no clicking noise.
Fan speed 40%: Fans goto 1230RPM and they stay on as supposed to.

 

 

 

I have included a few links of YT videos that have the same problem as me:

Here are a few questions i have:

1) Is coil whine normal ? (is this common in high end GPU) (i did not have any coil whine on my last Gigabyte GTX 960 Windforce 4gb)

2) Are these loud fan noises common in new GPUs or is it just on my side ?

3) Should i get a refund ?

4) Should i get a RTX 2070 Super but from a diff manufacturer ? (not Gigabyte)

Have you gotten any updated information on this? I just bought my gigabyte rtx 2070 today, installed it and everything seemed fine, but now it’s making this whining noise

Same

I've been starting to have some very low noise coil whine after I changed my PSU from a 6 year-old Corsair RM650 to a Corsair HX Platinum 750. As far as I can tell, coil whine is normal, and the noise from my card isn't that bad at all. You have to point your ear directly towards the GPU to actually notice it. With headphones on it's like it's not there, but still, it's very odd that this happened after I changed my PSU.

Same issue here. Under 40% fan speed I have exactly the same as in the video you share. Over 40% no problems and no bad noises.
 

I make the following constat : If I am at high level (over 40%) fan speed and go down to 30% fan speed the fans won't make this horrible rat noise. But if I am at low fan speed (making the noise) and I put it to 30% it will continue to make the sound. 
So same fan % and different fan reaction...

The GPU is awesome but I hate this card because of that .. I have no room to make something without noise between 1 and 39% fan speed .... And I payed more than 550 bucks (April 20') for such miserable fans. I would not recommande Gigabyte anymore.
