GPU Coil whine?

[Theminecraftaddict555]

Everytime I play an unturned or minecraft game with unlimited fps or in other words v-sync off....There seems to be coil whining from my gpu....How do i know?  I disabled my dedicated gpu and turned to my integrated graphics on my mobo and it seemed to have no coil whining when putting unlimited fps on both of my games.

I have seen that video already and it is a great informative video...So you are telling me that it is normal since my gpu is being put under too much load when playing unlimited fps correct?

If your FPS is over the rate of your monitor just turn on v-sync. It will also lower the power draw and temp.

It's not too much load, per se, it's just that the coils were manufactured with slightly less tolerance than optimal.

Monitor only supports 60 fps so yeah that could be the issue.......However on other games when I put on unlimited fps (call of duty black ops) it doesn't seem to do it but I think it may vary on how intensive the game is though

Same thing happens with me,when my fps goes over 400 =p 

 

It's fine =)

So should I return or rma it? or just like in the video it could be the same results regardless?

You can probably reduce it by using vsync but you might not be able to get rid of it entirely...

Yup,the more less demanding the more coil whine =p (More fps) 

and you could try running the less demanding game in 4k

It is pretty much gone if i put it on v-sync like stated in the first post

So the more demanding the game needs on the gpu the more coil whine = more fps?? sorry confused by the language there

So wheres the problem? If it goes away by turning on vsync, does it matter where the noise originates? (Its the GPU though...)

It sounded different in my head while typing that

 

Less demanding the game such as old games will have high fps,which in turn triggers the coil whine somehow.

my suggestion run a fps counter either from shadow play or fraps in game and track it,anything over 200 fps will probably trigger it.

Yeah i am just wondering if my gpu does do a coil whine when it goes over 60 fps or with v-sync off on certain games..is it normal or does that require an rma?

hmm I tried dota 2 and LOL with v sync off and it didn't do any coil whining?  Again maybe it depends on games that requires  alot of power from the gpu

[Theminecraftaddict555]

Okay so summing up from this topic

 

Whatever coil whine I am experiencing on my gpu when i put v sync off on both of my games, it is normal correct and no rma needed?

 

Also if i get more fps from older games by turning off v-sync there could be more coil whine as the fps gets higher?  Some of the older games I played like doom 3 and warcraft 3 with no vsync did not have this issue unless it again depends on the game's intensity on the gpu..Also with vsync off on LOL and Dota 2 the issue doesn't appear

To sum it up, yes it's pretty much normal.

 

LOL and Dota 2 will probably be bottlenecked by the CPU, meaning that the GPU doesn't end up at full usage?

CPU is intel pentium g3220 so is there a possible bottleneck?  Also isn't minecraft more intensive than both of those games with v-sync off?

[Theminecraftaddict555]

Wait does a pentium g3220 bottleneck the r7 250x?  or is it just that some games like LOL and Dota 2 don't have problems with coil whine when v sync is turned off

It won't in the majority of cases.

Maybe LOL and Dota 2 are framecapped anyways, going against what I said could be happening before.

yeah maybe....Also I noticed that when I play unturned and minecraft, i notice that going over certain framerates causes coil whinig

 

Unturned: unlimited fps goes well through gameplay but when at menu (fps goes over 1000) coil whine strikes

Minecraft: no coil whining at gameplay during unlimited fps but turning down settings on all low will cause coil whining since that will cause my fps to go overboard to around 500 or more fps which caused the coil whining

 

Could these be the cause?
