coil whine. that's a pretty annoying one, but it's definitely coil whine. I LOATHE coil whine and can hear it in everything. Both my monitors, my PSU, and sometimes my GPU (it was worse with my old 1060 before I got my 3070)... I'm just SUPER sensitive as I have to wear earplugs whenever I work...

yup, I figure best not to tempt fate with a $789 video card when you can just take out the stupid bar.

yeah, it's def touching... not even a razor thin piece of paper could get between the bar and the GPU.... what I ended up doing was just taking that bar out completely (it uncscrews) ... it's annoying, and I had to rip out the card and do some fancier zip tying, but it's out of the way and won't...

not sure I could fit a pad in there, I can't even fit a piece of paper between the card and that cable management plate. The plastic I wasn't too worried about. it was that metal backplate on top touching that had me worried more than the plastic edge. I wish Lian Li had lowered the depth of...

I have a weird clearance issue with my new 3070 Strix Rog and my Lian Li Mesh II case. Long story short, it fits length wise, and posts just fine as it locked into the pcie groove. However, if you know the Lian Li Mesh cases they have a weird cable management "bar" on the case that can be...

honestly you should be fine. The RM850x is a top tier PSU and should be enough. Even Asus lists an 850 as comfortable measures for that pairing. I mean, if you want to get the RM1000x to be double sure that would pad you out, but I don't really forsee any problems unless you want to over clock...

definitely a PSU problem. replace asap with a higher end model. the CX line from Corsair is notoriously "meh" to "crap". The RMX line is leagues better

well I'll be. It's only on that one monitor. I changed the cables but kept the ports on the GPU the same and it followed that monitor. so does that mean the monitor is bad? just a goof in the firmware or what?

yup, if changing positions the other monitor (now monitor #2) will do it too. again, it's not like it happens all the time, and it's a super easy fix. It's just weirdly annoying EDIT: I realized I never swapped the cables only and left the ports on the GPU plugged in like normal. I only...

not really worth it. If your card was a 3060 12 gb, then yes, totally worth it. the 3060 TI is about 30-35% increase in performance over the regular 12 gb 3060. you could have sold the 3060 and probably gotten the 3060TI for peanuts. But an XC3 to FTW Ultra in the same class? Not really. very...

I'm having a weird "issue" with my dual monitor setup. 1060 as my GPU, I have dual MSI G271's side by side as my main screens. Now the minor issue I'm having is that I have the monitors go to sleep after 20 minutes of inactivity, and SOMETIMES (not always, I can go days between incidents, or...

yes, that's exactly what you're recommended to do.

it's hard to tell from the video but could be either coil whine or a fan rattle. if done only when gaming I'd LEAN towards it being the fan running. but it could be coil whine under load. I have an RM1000x right now that is driving me nuts with coil whine and it's more of an electrical buzz...

yeah, I heard by SEVERAL people across different forums that the bearings on the Lian Li fans do tick and creak a bit. as long as they WORK I'm ok with that, but I'll keep a couple of Noctua 140's on hand as spares (the redux 140s probably would be better than the lian li ones and are dirt...

gotcha, the controller is controlled by a switch on the front panel, but also has a "passthrough" mode where it's controlled by the motherboard header too I won't have any super duper custom fan curves really. All I've done in the past is create a custom fan mode on the "manual " setting for...
