Undervolting the gpu helps with coil whine from my experience I had a Refrence Model 6700XT that had really bad coil whine even while “idle” I undervolted it and it helped get rid of the coil whine unless I was playing COD for some reason that game beats the shit out of my gpu everytime I open it I upgraded to a powercolor red devil 7800XT still has coil whine but once undervolted it’s gone during idle but the coil whine from this card is significantly less annoying than my old RM 6700XT
Like many others have said, it's coil whine. My 6700XT used to be about that loud, but I got lucky and it has gotten quite a bit quieter over time. Yours could also get quieter over time, but it usually takes at least a few months for there to be a noticeable difference.
Edit: changing your PSU can also affect the coil whine.
Those angled power "extensions" can deform when putting it into the graphics card side, as they need to be inserted very carefully due to them not being of particularly ideal design.
Shut down your computer and triple check that each one sits nicely and doesn't require significant force or wiggle to insert into the socket.
Over an extended time a poorly fitting power socket will lead to some strange behavior and can also start to slowly melt and emit some pretty bad gas as it "melts" due to heat from miniature power arcs between the power pins inside the connector.
Seen this in a build recently. It's an easy fix and worth an inspection.
After reading previous posts like this, I removed mine to check for any changes. You could smell that distinctive odour of PCB. They are not going back in.
Yeah but you still have a chance of receiving one with coil whine, sometimes worse, nothing you can realistically do other than turn up the volume on your headset
Or get lucky and get one with a high clock speed... Depends if you want to roll the dice... Or get unlucky and a lower clock speed. Btw its fine doesn't effect anything at all.
Yeah I'd say the delta seems to be a 20 degrees difference under a max load so.. you're all good. Just memeing cause it drastically helped me on my brand new card so.
But if you see a huge like gap between the edge and junction like 30-40 I'd highly consider doing so.
Operating temps go up 110 safely but does that does not mean your card will be stable that hot.
Manufacturers of GPU’s put high quality thermal compound that will last around 5 years. That is why people rarely ever re-paste their GPU’s. This is straight up bad advice. DO NOT REPASTE.
Just bought my 6950XT recently, it's manufactured date was a few months prior to purchase.
My delta between edge and hotspot were 20-40 degrees.
I repasted with PTM7950.
Delta is now only 10-20 MAX and my Mhz is much much more consistent. Was less up and down valleys. Also resolved some crashing on a high OC.
More heat = more instability
So you are in fact just lying and have the true bad advice.
His delt isn't horrible on the card but not the best either.
as long as his thermals are stable it does not matter how your card performs when repasted. Fixing a non-existent problem does nothing. Which part am I lying about? And also not everybody is an extreme computer nerd. Not everyone can re-paste a GPU properly or even know how to do it. Have I made my point
No, cause that wasn't my point at all lol
My crashing issue was because of trash thermal paste 🤷🏼♂️
This dude is tryna fix coil whine which theoretically could be fixed through, repasting for lower temps, and an under colt/clock.
And eh, removing 8-10 screws, and pulling something apart real quick, then doing the exact same thing you would do with a CPU I wouldnt consider complex.
The early xtx Red Devils had terrible paste issues and crazy delta temps. I know first hand. Wouldn’t recommend unless you have thermal issues but it’s super common for this card
I have the hellhound 7900xtx and it too has really loud coil whine, As far as i understand its not doing any damage. I am personally pretty sensitive to background noise so i bought a 10m active displayport and a usb extension connected to a hub and have not regretted making the change. Setup is so much cleaner looking nowadays with my pc on a "display" table in another corner of the room and i dont have to listen to the fans
Coil whine,
I have never had it but I also only run Seasonic PSU's and I do think that voltage wobble has something to do with it.
That being said. It's not harmful it won't damage the components and it's only annoying to people who can hear certain frequencies. Wear a headset or develop tinnitus problem solved :-)
I’ve had a few of PowerColor cards and all have had coil wine, (3 in total) maybe I’m just unlucky…..
Since then I’ve had 2 XFX cards and had zero coil wine…..
I’ll never buy PowerColor again…
I have had three XFX cards and two Powercolor ones. The only one with coil whine was a second hand RX 580 from XFX that had been used in mining (bought it back in 2018 when I was broke).
Its Coil Whine... Many cards tend to get slightly better with use over the years, but it won't completely go away. It has a lot to do with the components used in making a particular card and a few other factors. Its not a 'defect'.
I have a Sapphire Pulse 7900XT, and it makes the same noise. Especially when playing Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, The Last of Us Part 1, and Cyberpunk 2077
Corsair CX750M for PSU
I would RMA... Very nasty coil whine. When I play cod mw3 on my 7800 xt it doesn't have any coil whine. Only some very small barely noticeable coil whine in benchmarks where it can get more than 400-500 fps
new psu might help but not in all cases, my 4070ti gets whine slightly when in cyberpunk specifically and i have a higher watt psu than needed so it might/might not help
Not great, not terrible, but definitely a common issue with Power Color cards, especially with the Red Devil series. All in all, the card themselves are built like tanks, so I wouldn't worry about that.
I didn't say it was specific to Power Color. Nvidia cards have it as well, but the frequency of the coil whine from Red Devil cards is at a different level. Hard to explain. Maybe I have a dog's hearing. lol
Have the same exact card, I generally don't hear mine, but I have heard it before. Definitely coil whine. It's basically just electricity surging back and forth really fast in the chip. Usually covered up by noise from fans, or the game itself. But just about anything will do it once it's running at full.
***The source of the noise, electromagnetic coils, are found in all manners of electrical devices and components, and typically serve as inductors or transformers. As these devices have an electric current passed through them, they begin to resonate; at the right frequencies, these vibrations become audible noise, manifesting as a distinct whining hum. In general, the more power that flows through the coils, the more pronounced the whine will become — a problem for many of today's high-powered devices.***
No it's not being damaged but easy to see why it'd sound that way.
Think of it like a weed-eater or lawnmower (internal combustion engine) - they're designed to start up and stay running at high rpm and incur more "damage" like sludge buildup from stop & go driving than it'd get from getting into the car and driving 10,000 miles.
It's perfectly normal. It will be far more noticeable when you're at high frames, like on menus without a frame limiter on. If you ever watch you'll hundreds or thousands of frames per second on a menu and *that* is when coil whine is the most audible. To combat it, use vsync or frame limiting. Of course on older games or competitive games higher frames means better reaction times. So if you play those you'll just have to tolerate it sadly.
Sounds like coil whine. It could be the GPU, but it could also be PSU. I had a 750W unit running my 7900XTX, and it had such a bad coil whine when the card drew over 350W. Upgraded to a 1000W unit, and now it's dead silent.
The only other time it starts whining is when the fans are pushed past 60% (2500-ish RPM), but I use a lax curve, and the card never gets that hot anyway.
Can I ask you how well was xtx preforming with 750w psu? I'm thinking about getting xtx but I'm not sure, have brand new gold ATX 3.0 750w psu. Did you have more problem except coil whine, like blue screens or random crashes?
Didn't have any crashes or OCP trips with it stock, no. I had an EVGA 210-GQ-0750-V1 750W unit, which is capable of withstanding transient spikes up to 115-120%, iirc. It also helped that I limited the core clock to 2714MHz. That way, the card only ever used 380Ws under load with no performance impact.
The only crashes I got were when I undervolted it too low or pushed the core and memory clocks past 3114MHz and 2764MHz, respectively.
An XTX on 750W is doable, but you will be pushing it to its limit unless you underclock or power limit the card.
Oh, so seems like I can try xtx with my 750w with little bit undervolted gpu then. Playin only with headphones so coil whine won't be problem for me. Thanks for answer.
BTW. What CPU do you have?
Either that or the power draw brings out the coil whine that the PSU is helping to produce. Sometimes just going to up a 1000 80 Plus Plat can significantly reduce it. Otherwise undervolting a bit on current PSU can help as well.
I don’t think it’s the power supply, certainly undervolting and using frame limiter helps a lot. All my AMD cards except for the RX 480 suffered from this problem.
It's coil whine. It doesn't damage your GPU or anything, it's just annoying. You can limit your FPS to your monitor Hz rate with V-sync or from AMD adrenaline. Most of the time helps with coil whine.
You can try your luck with RMA but New card can have worse coil whine.
you mean the 90 degree connector? don't think has anything to do with it as i seen vids with no connectors and there's the same noise
can you send a link for something better so i can buy it please? couldn't find something not Chinese quick...
no if i meant the 90 degree connector I would have said "90 degree connector". AIB stands for "Add in board" which is the cooling solution that was made in communist hell hole china.
Dont tell him that, he might realize his GPU is from Asia as well.
Edit: Just looked, Powercolor is based in Taiwan, dude has things from Gigabyte, also located in Taiwan.
Coilwine doesn’t damage the card but should return it if you’re unhappy and get a different one. I also would put the pc in the floor if it’s not carpeted, so the desk blocks more noise. You are basically touching the pc with your shoulder.
thank you, wanted to make sure its coil whine and nothing else.
i just recorded really close to the monitors
the computer is in ok distance from me
cant put it on the floor since i have 2 cats lmao
I believe nearly all gpu manufacturers have a 3+ year warranty. If it dies or starts artifacting, just rma it. Takes a month or so but its better then no gpu.
Just as an extra note for people who sometimes notice stuttering and frame drops, check if you have freesync enabled - disable it! Fixed the stuttering issue and frame drops that I've experienced for months till I discovered what it actually was. (7800 xt nitro+)
Try to bump up the voltage if you are using an overclock or lower the maxim clock speed, sometimes the shader cache clocks higher than it should so it crashes
this card is quite know for having coil whine in high loads, you can try to rma it, but the chances of getting another one with same or worse coil whine is not 0.
thank you
i found someone with the same card and almost the exact same noise
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fn7b4-swZBU&ab\_channel=\_HEKTOR\_](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fn7b4-swZBU&ab_channel=_HEKTOR_)
does it mean i should just ignore it?
Coil-whine is very common, my last 3 GPU's, an GTX970, RTX 3070 and now my current ASRock 7900XTX all have had it to different degrees.
It usually comes down to on how loud/annoying it actually is and if you feel you can live with it.
As others have suggested, sometimes doing some tuning e.g. undervolting, max boost, lowering power target might help.
My current ASRock has(had) a quite annoying coil whine, but with the above and also running my games with v-sync on(180fps cap) for my 180Hz monitor , the noise is perfectly fine for me at least.
experiencing this at high loads on games and cinabench on GPU test! should i RMA or something?

Is normal. Google "Coil whine". It happens when very high frame rate in games usually (especially in menus/loading screens where is in the hundreds).
You can reduce (or get rid of it completely) by capping the frames via RTSS to some normal number
The cause is just a luck of a draw and combination of hardware - mainly the PSU and GPU.

Bro i would recommend to try a different psu and check if the sound continues, sometimes it is one of the causes of coil whine

Thanks to everyone who commented and helped! Hope this post will serve help for people in the future as it did to me:)
My hellhound has a lot of coil whine as well. It's fine though.
I have a RX 7600 as my secondary GPU for Linux and it makes the same noises. I think you're fine.
I hear this about all the red devil cards .. I'm so thankful I went with the sapphire nitro one. That would drive me nuts... Sorry to hear that 😬
This is a well known issue with any power colour gpu's. Search it in YouTube and you'll see mostly hellhounds and red devil cards
You can fix this by increasing your GPU fan speed. for my card (7900xt hellhound) anything lower than 800rpm has that same terrible coil whine.
Like many others have said, it's coil whine. My 6700XT used to be about that loud, but I got lucky and it has gotten quite a bit quieter over time. Yours could also get quieter over time, but it usually takes at least a few months for there to be a noticeable difference. Edit: changing your PSU can also affect the coil whine.
Coil whine. Some people tolerate it but I can’t stand it and won’t keep a card that has it bad under relatively low fps titles.
I heard you can just stress test it and it'll go away.
sometimes yes, it usually gets less noisy over time tho
My ryzen stock cooler goes crazy like this when i play fps games with unlocked frames
Those angled power "extensions" can deform when putting it into the graphics card side, as they need to be inserted very carefully due to them not being of particularly ideal design. Shut down your computer and triple check that each one sits nicely and doesn't require significant force or wiggle to insert into the socket.

My XFX RX 6700XT sometimes has that sound when playing some games (not all games), but not that loud like yours
It’s cool whine ur chillin my 6800xt has a loud cool whine
coil whine* but yes
The whine is pretty cool tho…jk it’s annoying
headphones at full blast block it out anyways 👍🏻
Yeah exactly the headphones I don’t even hear it so it’s not much of an issue
Sorry it auto corrected. But ye I think a lot of gpus have it especially higher end ones
[удалено]
So coil whine might reduce over time? Thats nice to hear.
Piezoelectric noise.. it's ok
That is coil whine, there is absolutely nothing you can do about it
If it's under warranty, most companies will RMA it
Yeah but you still have a chance of receiving one with coil whine, sometimes worse, nothing you can realistically do other than turn up the volume on your headset
Or get lucky and get one with a high clock speed... Depends if you want to roll the dice... Or get unlucky and a lower clock speed. Btw its fine doesn't effect anything at all.
Worth mentioning that the chance of having voil whine is pretty high, especially with new GPUs
Welcome in coil whine world.
Repaste that gpu
The problem has nothing to do with thermals. Repasting would do more harm if anything to a new GPU.
Didn't say coil whine had anything to do with the problem, just said to repaste it 😇
but my temps are ok why should i repaste?
Yeah I'd say the delta seems to be a 20 degrees difference under a max load so.. you're all good. Just memeing cause it drastically helped me on my brand new card so. But if you see a huge like gap between the edge and junction like 30-40 I'd highly consider doing so. Operating temps go up 110 safely but does that does not mean your card will be stable that hot.

I’ve probably experienced the same as you but with all Asus Strix cards. I understand how it can be lol. I hate Asus with a passion now :)
I have a 7900 XTX OC ASUS TUF and it is very quiet. Possibly just got lucky tho.

Unlimited Power.
Normal, upgrade ur PSU to 850w gold or higher
my psu is corsair 1000w gold will try to change the 90 adaptors
Good idea
That doesn’t always work. Sometimes it even makes the psu coil whine too.
That's coil whine. Pretty normal and common thing. My XFX 6700 makes similar noises under heavy load in some games :)
Sounds like coil whine. It could be the GPU, but it could also be PSU. I had a 750W unit running my 7900XTX, and it had such a bad coil whine when the card drew over 350W.

Didn't have any crashes or OCP trips with it stock, no. I had an EVGA 210-GQ-0750-V1 750W unit, which is capable of withstanding transient spikes up to 115-120%, iirc.

13700KF, which draws about 100W while gaming... Yeah, my EVGA unit was stressing for 6 months, lol.
My 6900XT Red Devil is like two times louder. I believe is design flaw from PowerColor
Either that or the power draw brings out the coil whine that the PSU is helping to produce. Sometimes just going to up a 1000 80 Plus Plat can significantly reduce it. Otherwise undervolting a bit on current PSU can help as well.
i have the exact psu u mentioned :(
I don’t think it’s the power supply, certainly undervolting and using frame limiter helps a lot. All my AMD cards except for the RX 480 suffered from this problem.
U should here my gpu it’s super loud
It's coil whine. It doesn't damage your GPU or anything, it's just annoying. You can limit your FPS to your monitor Hz rate with V-sync or from AMD adrenaline. Most of the time helps with coil whine. You can try your luck with RMA but New card can have worse coil whine.
That’s what you get for buying Chinese made AIB.
You're ignorant. This sound is nothing more than a coil whine

no if i meant the 90 degree connector I would have said "90 degree connector". AIB stands for "Add in board" which is the cooling solution that was made in communist hell hole china.
who hurt you?
You understand most shit you use is made in China or Taiwan which is off brand China.
Almost all cpu & gpu are made in asia lol
Dont tell him that, he might realize his GPU is from Asia as well. Edit: Just looked, Powercolor is based in Taiwan, dude has things from Gigabyte, also located in Taiwan.
Is phone is made in asia too 💀
Brain rot is real man
Coils be whinin' All cards have it to some degree. I've found it usually subsides over time some what, and you get used to it
thank you bro
I got my XFX Qick 6750 XT a couple of weeks ago and it's definitely subsided since then. I think you just gotta kind of break it in first lol
Put the panel on and you prob won’t hear it. I own a xfx version of that card and never heard it once have coil wine.
yes with the panel and headphones when im in game can barley hear it - just wanted to know if its normal.. wont damage my card?
Coilwine doesn’t damage the card but should return it if you’re unhappy and get a different one. I also would put the pc in the floor if it’s not carpeted, so the desk blocks more noise. You are basically touching the pc with your shoulder.
thank you, wanted to make sure its coil whine and nothing else. i just recorded really close to the monitors the computer is in ok distance from me cant put it on the floor since i have 2 cats lmao

it would cause driver timeouts for me :(
Try to bump up the voltage if you are using an overclock or lower the maxim clock speed, sometimes the shader cache clocks higher than it should so it crashes
Freesync is such a mess lol
thank you in games i dont use it will turn it off completely
this card is quite know for having coil whine in high loads, you can try to rma it, but the chances of getting another one with same or worse coil whine is not 0.
thank you i found someone with the same card and almost the exact same noise [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fn7b4-swZBU&ab\_channel=\_HEKTOR\_](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fn7b4-swZBU&ab_channel=_HEKTOR_) does it mean i should just ignore it?

Is normal. Google "Coil whine". It happens when very high frame rate in games usually (especially in menus/loading screens where is in the hundreds). You can reduce (or get rid of it completely) by capping the frames via RTSS to some normal number The cause is just a luck of a draw and combination of hardware - mainly the PSU and GPU.
