FuzzyWolf Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Hey guys, I was wondering if its possible by changing PCIE cable you then get a coil whine on GPU? I am asking because I'm suddenly noticing coil whine on my gtx1080 (gigabyte extreme) after I switched the default PSU cables that came with my PSU(RM750i). Previously I have used 1 cable with 2x8pins(piggy tail) into the GPU then went with 2 cables with a separate cable for each of the 8pins (with the piggy tail hanging) after finding out this should be better. But I didn't like the piggy tail hanging so I went on and bought "Corsair CP-8920176 Premium Individually Sleeved PCIe Cables With Single Connectors, Red/Black" off Amazon. But right after I switched to that I noticed coil whine and those inductor sounds when GPU is in load which I don't believe I have heard before when using the default cable. I am planning to test this again in the morning as at the time of writing is already pretty late here but I wanted to post first to see if anyone has had this issue before. My card do get coil whine when it is around 170+fps but never below 150fps. But this time I can hear is pretty loud just at 90-100fps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuzzyWolf Posted September 16, 2017 Author Share Posted September 16, 2017 Update: Re-tested it again with default cable and still get coil whine. Not really sure what's going on but maybe I just did not realise it before or its something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
