Coil wine :(

I got my first "high end" gpu installed today! (Like 15mins ago!) and it wine, coil wine.

 

I know it's been asked many times but is there any fix? It wined at the windows index thing. Is that normal? Is it dangerous???

 

 

Got the GTX 970 Strix and supernova G2...

 

I did read that it may need a "burn in" at the coils before they are used to the amps going thru them?

 

 

I need tips/ideas/help on this as a first timer :)

The G2 is known to coil whine. That's all i know.

Ït's the GPU not the PSU :(

For some reason when I enable adaptive vertical sync and alter a few other settings in my Nvidia control panel it stops the whine.

 

I tried that! I will see if it goes away. Do you know what settings you did change? 

 

no it will be fine..

 

Okay good...

See how you get on with enabling adaptive vsync, if not I will have a look at what I have, I can't remember specifically which stopped the whine without disabling things or maybe it was just coincidence.

The thing about it for some is, setting adaptive sync also acts like a frame limiter. It limits the number of frames your GPU spits out to the same amount as your monitor's refresh rate.

 

The coil whine "experience" for some systems occur when the GPU spits out an insane number of fps. So I don't know in your case, it might work, it may not. But it's worth a shot.

You can bark like a dog, but that won't make you a dog.

You can act like someone you're not, but that won't change who you are.

 

Finished Crysis without a discrete GPU,15 FPS average, and a lot of heart

 

How I plan my builds -

Spoiler

For me I start with the "There's no way I'm not gonna spend $1,000 on a system."

Followed by the "Wow I need to buy the OS for a $100!?"

Then "Let's start with the 'best budget GPU' and 'best budget CPU' that actually fits what I think is my budget."

Realizing my budget is a lot less, I work my way to "I think these new games will run on a cheap ass CPU."

Then end with "The new parts launching next year is probably gonna be better and faster for the same price so I'll just buy next year."

Setting Vsync worked! Kinda! It took it from wining to buzzing instead and that is kinda good... Because I made a whooole system with being silent/very quiet.

 

 

Is the buzzing okay then?  ^_^

Coil Whine is not dangerous,just very very annoying.I dont have any,but I heard how it sounds.You CAN try to RMA it,maybe theyll accept it and send you a new card(some manufacturers do,some dont.).You can also try to ''isolate'' the sound by doing some ''modding'' which I dont recomend.

Mine stopped after about a week.

During that week I set a systemwide FPS cap of 200fps in MSI Afterburners RTSS OSD, so game menu's and such don't give me 1000's of FPS making the card scream.

Vsync limiting your FPS is doing the same thing, but if you dont wanna use Vsync, use a frame limiter outside of Vsync.

Maximums - Asus Z97-K /w i5 4690 Bclk @106.9Mhz * x39 = 4.17Ghz, 8GB of 2600Mhz DDR3,.. Gigabyte GTX970 G1-Gaming @ 1550Mhz
