780Ti coil whine solution?

[SeriuzBuzinez]

Had my EVGA GeForce GTX 780 Ti Superclocked for just under four months, it only coil whined during bench-marking... now recently I was getting all setup for StarCitizen dog fighting module so re-installed hanger module and once again got a lot of coil whine when playing it, but now it appears to be happening on games I used to play often and never had any coil whine what so ever.

 

Don't think it is my PSU because it is brand new (Seasonic 1000w platinum series)

 

Don't suppose anyone knows any way of improving the coil whine? At the moment I am keeping the benchmark running hoping it will eventually break in the GPU... I don't really want to take the water block off and RMA this but it's just so annoying!!!

I don't think there is much you can do about coil whine, also most companies won't allow you to RMA a product if it coil whines (But EVGA might because they have awesome customer support)

However my GTX 760 used to coil whine quite badly, but it gradually got better over time, so running a benchmark or stress test to 'break in' the card as you are doing might help

Find out which it is and RMA it, Seasonic PSU's are known for coil whine but it could be the GPU you'll just have to put your ear to it.

 

I'd RMA any part that coil whines I cannot stand it.

Thanks for the help think I will carry on bench-marking and in the meantime borrow a friends PSU so I am 100% sure that it's not the PSU causing it...

My 780 Ti coilwhines, and my friends 780Ti does.

We both have EVGA cards, but i think the 780Tis genrally coilwhine.

Although if it annoys you too much evga will accept an RMA for it as i was going to. But then i just could not be bothered.

If its high pitched nails on a chalkboard screeching, then it's coil whine. If its this odd electrical buzzing noise then than thats power noise which is perfectly normal, Ive had it with ever single one of the several 780s and 780ti I currently own now.
