Coil whine gpu 1070 when working hard

[bo2nathan]

Dear forum reader,

My girlfriend took over my gpu. She added it to her new build and all the sudden she gets this thing called coil whine... When I used my gpu I never had any problems... The only differences in our build is the psu. I have 520w and she has 450w

(components
1070
6700k
8gb ram
Msi mobo
Ssd
Hdd)

I think it has to do with the low voltage but some say it might be the noise reducing materials in the gpu that have become less??

Sidenote very important: coil whine only comes up when the gpu works for 300 fps in overwatch for example but when i put the settings on display based it dissapears!!!

Plz share your toughts!

Kind regards

change the PSU. wattage is not really important. the quality of PSU is.
anyway, any component with inductor have a coil whine. it's not harmful but can be annoying if it's too loud. if it appears on 300FPS, you couldn't care less.

Well we do care becasue we wanna use the gpu at its full potential

Coil whine doesnt affect its performance or potential. It happens to some degree with nearly every graphics card.

I understand what you are saying but it is annoying as hell XD

and since we know that when the gpu (for some reason) doesnt make the noice when it is just running low we wonderd if you guys might have an idea on how to fix it even when its running high perfomance

You could try using another PSU? its all down to the frequency which causes the power regulation components to vibrate and make the noise.
