Question Gigabyte 3080ti Does it sound like coil whine or fans to you ?

[Crimson Morrow]

it's my 3d time getting this kind of noise with this card. It occurs when the fans are at around 85-90% power. (Surprisingly not at 100, and no it's not getting drowned out, it literally stops)

First i thought it was the fans. So I changed the fans. The noise stopped for a little. Then it came back. I changed them again. It was fine for a few weeks. But then it came back again.

its the fan to the right thats making the noise, cause when i press on it, the noise stops. What I mean by pressing on it is not that I stop it from spinning, but pressing down lightly at the middle just a tiny bit without inhibiting the spin. Here's the vid with my noise

I've done some research and it does sound a little bit like a coil whine in this vid right here https://www.reddit.com/r/ASUS/comments/rn5gmj/asus_rog_rtx_3080ti_oc_is_this_coil_whine/ but it also kinda doesn't. Plus from what I understand coil whine comes from internal card components when they are under a heavy load, I'm guessing powering up the fans is not that power demanding, or could it be that the fan powering circuits producing the whine?

Anywho, if anybody has any idea what it is, please share your thoughts! Cheers!

Here's one thing you can do, is roll up a sheet of A4 paper into a cylinder, hold one end of the tube to your ear and use the other end to probe for the source of the sound. You should be able to find the source and narrow it down to the fan or the power delivery area of your motherboard or GPU.

When posting a thread of troubleshooting nature, it's customary to include your full system's specs. Please list the specs to your build like so:

include the age of the PSU apart from it's make and model. BIOS version for your motherboard at this moment of time.
