RX 6900 XT Powercolor Liquid Devil best Settings with Coilwhine and/or Performace?

[alphatessi]

Hi y'all.

I use the RX 6900xt liquid devil from powercolor (non ultimate).

Since it is a quiet build i sadly get to experience some coilwhine.
Does anyone have the same issue and maybe a solution on how to quiet her down a bit?

I have experimented a little and the tone changes with the clock frequency.
I can boost her to something around 2,7 ghz but since i do not need the performancegain i am simply looking for the best settings (under or overclock) to keep her quiet-ish.

 

Dont get me wrong: i love the card ant really liked building a overkill coolingsolution.
Maybe someone knows good settings or some other trick i can use.

Thanks in advance!

You can try locking the framerate to something with freesync, usually helps. Undervolting is of cause also an option.

Does the coil whine happen at a certain clockspeed or a certain GPU percentage utilisation?

 

And does it disappear below a certain clockspeed or GPU utilisation?

In idle, its quiet. usually the whine comes into play when i overstep around 60-70 percent utilisation. The Tone changes slingtly if i use it more.

I will try locking it, undervolting did not really help until now.

There's a few different approaches/ideas I have for potentially how to solve this: either underclocking the GPU, reducing fan speeds and letting the GPU get a bit hotter, or using something like Radeon Chill to limit the performance level to something you're happy with.

 

If you want to go for the underclocking route you can do it manually in Radeon Software but I think Radeon Software may also have a setting to do this for you. Likewise, fan speed and Radeon Chill can also be configured in Radeon Software.

That would be a small problem since the card is in a custom waterloop and wont step over 50C in Gaming for example.

Getting the card "warm" is actually a challenge.

(edit the Picture for reference)
But i will give Radeon Chill a try.
