Hi,

I just changed my GPU. I upgraded my gpu from an rx 5700xt to an rx 6800.
I have a seasonic gold 650w with a single pcie cable 8+8.
Previously I was using two different cables with my Rx 5700xt and now I’m using the single cable for the rx 6800 since I only have that one.
Once I changed the gpu I started experiencing a coil whine everytime I open a game or I try to do a benchmark..
Do you guys have any suggestion?
If I get closer to the case I can hear that the coil whine is likely coming from the motherboard…
I’ve been reading that if the gpu is using less than 300W then just the single cable shouldn’t give any problem!

with a double cable your problem will be solved, from the same to give to the card it is logical to have coil whine
