GPU whine?

[Underachiever101]

Having some issues with my pretty new EVGA 980ti SC. The card is in my custom loop, an while under load will whine a fair bit. It's loud enough to be heard through the side panel. It grows when i try to overclock the card. Is this an issue that can be fixed by myself, or is it RMA worthy? Let me hear it LTT Comm.

slap it along the butt and tell it to shut up.

 

It works with all of my graphics cards.

I have the same graphics card and it did the same thing when I first installed it. It went away after I downloaded drivers for it though and never heard it since. Try reinstalling the drivers for it and see if that solves the issue.

@Underachiever101 Mine whines, all i did to fix mine was turn Vsync on. From what i know its caused by your card making to many frames
Any way that fixed mine so good luck with yours man.

What PSU do you have?

Yeah chances are it would only do that in things like game menus because it's trying to crank out something like 200 fps. Reinstall drivers, turn v sync on, and if those don't work you should be able to set a frame rate limiter in software to cap it out depending on your monitor's refresh rate.
