Hi All!

I have a 3090 (MSI GAMING X TRIO) that been sitting in storage for a bit and have put it into a new PC.

When under a graphically intensive load, there is a very loud buzzing, almost sizzling sound that comes from the GPU. Starts off low when opening a game, but gets loud when in game.

Does this sound like coil whine or something more sinister? I’ve attached a sound recording, you will need to turn up volume to hear it.

    Try capping it at something like 60 just for testing and see if the whine decreases. It might just be unavoidable at those framerates, although I might see about RMA-ing the card if it whines that much at reasonable framerates.
