With the 3080 in my system it was still generating coil whine from the PSU. I'm just wanting a second opinion that that means the PSU is what is at fault and would need replaced? :) He doesn't get coil whine with his 3080 in his system, and the noise is coming directly from the coils in the...

Yeah, I can hear this through my headphones. xD It's really unacceptable. And I'm normally not too bothered with noise. My wife hated regular fan noise from my computer before, when she gets back from her secondment she will not be having this coil whine. ;)

Righto, thanks. So what I take from that is the best way to find out would be to put my 3080ti in my mates computer, put his 3080 in my computer and see whether the 3080ti in his system generates coil whine, or the PSU in mine does with his GPU. :)

Okay, I might get a mate over and have a crack at reapplying the thermal paste in the 1080ti. If we're successful then it'll at least be worth a bit of cash or I can chuck it in my wife's computer. :D An unrelated question that I hope I can get some insight on, I've now installed my new GPU, an...

Yeah, was definitely the H100i at fault. Case fan issue has been resolved, the Molex cable for the fan controller wasn't plugged in. :) The GPU was having issues beforehand starting around 3 months ago, crashing in games or failing to render, screen going black which seemed to be the GPU...

I have tried another CPU cooler, the Corsair H60 from my wife's computer, in the system and that works, so the H100i was at fault and I have sent this away to be replaced under warranty. While I am here, would anyone have any insight into a GPU that functions flawlessly while underclocked as...

Someone responded just before with a link for tips. This reply appears to have been removed. However, most of these tips I had already completed. One which I hadn’t was under clocking the CPU, I have just attempted this to no avail, temperatures remain around 80 degrees on start up for the CPU...

Hi guys, in desperate need of some help and hoping you might be able to shed some light on this. I’m rather new to the whole PC tinkering thing and trying to pick it up. I recently got a new PSU and opened up my PC to install it, as well as give it a quick clean inside. I went from a 600W...

650W silver I am fairly sure. To get you concrete info I'd have to crack open the case again and I'm a bit apprehensive to do that. :-/ But I can if it is actually relevant to the issue.

My computer is about two and a half years old. My power supply is, I think, a 650 Watt Corsair PSU. In the meantime I'll try those fixes. Cheers.

Hey, I have been having this issue for over a year now. It happens on and off, sometimes it won't go away for hours and sometimes I don't have the issue for weeks on end. But it's incredibly annoying. When the issue makes an appearance and I tab into a game or webpage that is using a media...
