2070 Super Coil whine

[Jared J]

Hello, 

I just built my first PC and I have a used 2070 super. it runs fine and can really pack a hell of a punch. However, under heavier loads when I let a game turn off V-sync and get 300+ FPS, i hear a fuzz come from the GPU. Ive read it could easily be from the PSU. I found an old thread and a tier list for the PSU. Under other forums iv read that the PSU was the culprit (more or else). I understand there will be a fuzz cause of power consumption. I also found my PSU coming in the F of the review of the tier list. I have a EVGA super nova GA 650W. 

 

Should i replace the PSU for a corsair RMx750? Ive read these PSUs are really good and have great cap quality. and it has helped the coil whine for some people

Just remember that coil whine is natural. It does not affect the quality or performance of the graphics card and some manufacturers will take them back in RMA if the warranty allows it. Coil whine is when an inductor or transformer vibrates at a frequency that is within the spectrum of a human ear (20-20000 Hz). A better quality power supply may or may not fix this issue but is not guaranteed.

Those are only good for the dumpster or your grandparents home PC. As a result, a better power supply is in order.
