4090 - Coil Whine (is it bad?)

[ionixct]

Hey, guys! I recorded a video about coil whine on my 4090. Is my coil whine that bad, or still acceptable? What's your opinion on my coil whine? I am quite sad. 😞 In the video, I ran a benchmark where the FPS ranged from 350-400. The GPU: GAINWARD Phantom GS.

coil whine, for spoiled kids without nothing to whine about, I hear nothing at all

This doesn't sound bad to me and what I would call normal for a modern high-end GPU.

GPU makers have given up. And they can count on blaming the user's ears. I had to go through about a dozen RTX 4090s before I got one that didn't whine at ~240 FPS (it is an Nvidia FE by the way).

If you value your time then this doesn't sound so bad but perhaps the microphone isn't picking it up properly.

The problem is certainly bad assembled build. I don't even believe that a 4090 would be fabricated with bad components. Ask your friends about a good technican and then ask to him if your assembly quality is ok.
