fxsttcb Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Coil Whine?? Bruce Actually it has become common with high-po GPUs. The power inductors(coils) can exhibit a pronounced "whine" when pushed. IMO, it is more intense with a PSU that is pushed nearer to it's current limitations. but...What do I know? I'm just an ol' Hack...Don HAF 932 Adv, PC P&C 950w, ASUS R4E,i7-3820 5.0GHz(MCR320-XP 6 fans wet), GTX 970 FTW 16GB DDR3-2400, 128GB SAMSUNG 830(Win 7 Ult x64), 512GB SAMSUNG 840 Pro(FSX P3D FS9) WD 1TB Black(FS98, CFS2&3, ROF, etc.), WD 2TB Black-(Storage/Backup) Active Sky Next, Rex4 TD/Soft Clouds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
