Question Quiet 2060 super

[Nextraff]

I have a 2060 super gaming oc which produces quite loud coil whine and I'm thinking of returning it. Which 2060 super would be the quietest but still performs well.

I haven't seen this for myself, but I have heard before that a lower-quality PSU can cause coil whine in a GPU; what PSU do you have and how old is it?

Again, this is just second hand info on my part, but I've heard from moderators on here that they don't recommend most be quiet PSUs.

Hm that's interesting because most people I've spoken to have said that they are great did they tell u why they don't reccomend them?

It's all about the inner workings of the PSU, such as the quality of the capacitors and voltage regulators and how it all plays into the level of protection and reliability that you get. If you read a few PSU reviews on Tom's Hardware, you'll see what I mean.

It's entirely possible it has nothing to do with your PSU, I'm just putting forward a possibility for you to consider based on stuff I've heard before. It might be worth returning your GPU for a replacement to see if you got a bad unit. Or maybe you could get one from a different brand to see if that makes any difference.

I'll ask one of my friends if I can borrow their psu and ill see if it makes a difference but if that doesn't work I think ill probably get a refund and try a different model. I was thinking of trying the msi 2060 super gaming x or is that a bad model?

I don't know. Try looking at reviews for different types of 2060 supers to see if they suit your purpose.
