Days ago my GPU (geForce 760) began to have coil whine, there are a lot thread talked about it so I figured it should be fine as far as it is not horribly bad. I can use limit FPS to lower the noise anyway.
But today I find out there is something different. When I play Diablo 3 or just sit on WoW character menu, the GPU usage poped up to 98%, FPS around 120-160, and coil whining began. Of course temperature of GPU raised up too. So even though I can get over the noise, I can't allow my GPU run at high temp for the low graphic game. I mean it shouldn't happen, should it? Both WoW character frame and Diablo should not need that high GPU usage. And as soon as I loggin WoW, FPS dropped, everything back to track.
let me summery a bit: basically, my GPU is on high GPU usage for low graphic stuff, which raised my GPU temp to 70ish. Power is around 80%. It happened on BF3, D3, and WoW char frame.
It has less power usage when I am in WoW,
I am trying to figure out this is more like a faulty card, or it is normal. If it is normal, could anyone explain a bit for me why it is like that?
Thank you!
