coil whine is a normal problem doesn't effect performance or durability.

no your gpu got nothing to do with it.

if you still have the warranty, i can ask for replacement.

Hi guys I have PSU named "Superflower eco king 500" which is 80+ bronze. Before i had rx 470 with 6pins. My psu have coil whine. I sold my rx 470 and bought other gpu.

My question is will the coil whine continue becouse the gpu that i bought is low profile. It's only connecting to the mobo without the psu vga input.

I bought it before 5 months. I guess I can't replace it. The sound doesn't bother me at all.

PSU are at least 1 year warranty.

That unit has 3 years warranty.

If it doesn't bother you, then you got no problem.

Superflower is a top PSU brand, you can relax.

Actually not really. The Bronze King ECO is double forward, group regulated PSU, so it isn't suitable with modern dGPU use. This is why you shouldn't generalize PSU by brand.

 

Coil whine is expected when you use a double forward topology PSU with a high power consumption GPU. For lower power consumption GPU the problem will be less pronounced.

It's a cheap PSU.  Get rid of it and get something better.
