My gpu is loud... Very loud!

[Skypeg]

I switched out my gtx 670 with a msi r9 290 gaming edition 4gb. The card was very good at ultra settings on all games. I tested it on Battlefield 1 beta, and it was a dream come true. But it was so loud! I used headset so I couldn't really hear it because of all the explosions and gunshots.

But when I play games that isn't loud and full of explosions like Dayz, the sound from the gpu is making me crazy. I have heard that you could buy water cooling for gpu, but it is not cheap. Is there any silent gpu fans for my msi twin frozr card on ebay or something?

Download MSI Afterburner.
Run a game for 10 minutes.

Then note down:
Peak Temperature
Average Temperature
Average Fan Speed %
Peak Fan Speed %
GPU Utilization

-TehPenguin I will try what you said, but yes or No, is there any silent gpu fans on ebay?

Your GPU should be silent. Do the test so we can see what is wrong with your card. MSI Twin Frozr are one of the most efficient air coolers.

By loud you mean the fan is loud. A constant whine.
Bad polar capacitors (or even cheap-sh*t good ones) can make a very soft hissing noise if you listen closely.

Sounds like the fan bearing is bad. Not as common as it used to be, but it still happens. Get a new fan. Look on Flea-bay for a fan to fit that exact card. If none, then note the size, number of wires and the connector type. There will all be a min of 3 wires.

Peak temperature 89
Average temperature 87
Peak fan speed 62 same as average

 

[TehPenguin]

Something is wrong. At 62% it shouldn't be very loud.

Alright , what kind of noise is it? Can you maybe capture a video with your phone?

I did capture a video on my phone, but where should i send it? I am very new to Tom's hardware

Opps wrong button

This is not solved, but how do i pin a video to my comment?

 

[TehPenguin]

https://sendvid.com/ , for example.

I think the problem is my 120mm cooling down my water cooler, but anyways, I uploaded the video to sendvid: http://sendvid.com/m6wchpbz

Have you checked your case fans and CPU temperature? It's hard to tell in the low light but it sounds as if all the fans were spinning at 100%, not just the GPU.

Use hwmonitor for system temps and fan speeds.

Haha, I know it's a little late, but the cpu fan was the problem. And there was nothing wrong with the gpu, It's always loud when playing advanced games, every other person with this gpu is complaing about the noise, so it's normal. So both the gpu and the case fan was making noise, but the case fan was not supposed to make the noise. It uses a cheap fan that I still haven't switched out, that is what I call pure laziness.

I was reading this just now and was about to say it sounds like it's your CPU fan.
