Hello,
I recently bought an RX 6800 XT second hand, the guy came to me, tested the gpu in my case with my old seasonic psu, and everything went fine, 0 coil whine, 0 issues
Next day i went and bought a new PSU as my old one was 550w
Bought Seasonic Focus GX gold 750w, and now my GPU has very annoying coil whine in benchmarks/ games, not when idle-ing tho. The coil whine gets worse and worse with the power draw of the GPU/ intensity of the scene in game
I swapped back my old PSU just to check and no more coil whine, so the problem is from the PSU, not the gpu itself. The seller also stated that he never encountered coil whine.
Should i refund the PSU and get an exactly the same new one (maybe i got a bad unit) or should i try to get a new PSU from a different brand?
Thanks !
