    Asus R9 390X High Pitched Sound?

    i had thought fans didnt have coil whine, i also tapped the shroud while i had it out of the case again and this same sound occured, it doesnt sound electrical to me while running, its easier to tap the fan to create the sound, its odd.

    Asus R9 390X High Pitched Sound?

    Didnt think GPU fans could get such coil whine, any tips on how to reduce it, i cant actually tell if it is coil whine, would have thought coil whine in fans would be fixed unless its just a bodgey fan, just pushed the shroud in different spots and the sound reduced.
