I know this can be somewhat subjective, in terms of barely noticeable or annoyingly loud whine. Given this is Q3 of 2024, maybe this has improved.

I have been eyeballing the Sapphire Nitro but open to other brands. I like the fact I can remove the shroud on the Sapphire over the PowerColor without repasting when cleaning..not a deal breaker, also customer support is a big deal.

I don't plan to OC, just something to carry my X570 Aorus Master/5950X combo for the next few years at 3440x1440P.

Would like to hear from users of the 7900 XTX and any shortcomings with regards to coil whine or other issues.

I was looking at the 4080, but I like the faster bus of the XTX paired with my 5950X.

Specs:
X570 Aorus Master
5950X
980 Pro M.2 ( will be replaced with 990)
Noctua D15
32GB TridentXZ Neo 3600
Evga 3060 Ti
Evga 850 G2
Storm Sniper
Alienware AW3418DW
