coil whine is a hardware problem
there are choke coils in the psu, gpu, and on the mobo
or other power adapters have choke coils

limiting fps or changing gpu load will not fix it, but it can change its tone or volume

some specific brand/model components are more likely to have whine

rma is only possible if its causing problems or gpu is not performing as intended

There really is nothing you can do, it's pure bad luck, not buying a new component for a month won't do much, most won't even say they have it anywhere.

Likewise advising a 1000w + psu won't guarentee anything, it could just as likely have the coil whine.

It seems you decided to write a guide on something you have no personal experience of and suggest 'fixes' you have no idea if they will work or not as you have never tested them.

I fact, id just taje the 'guide' down before you get some inexperienced person tries to dump a bunch of electrically conductive glue all over their gpu and fries it and comes to blame you.

^ this
suggesting to glue a coil is a bad idea
you never know which coil(s) are making the noise, and with the brick shaped ones you cant get anything into the coil area anwyays

whatever glue you use can cause more damage to other things
might be corrosive or if any ends up on headers, ports, sockets, connectors, slots etc.. can damage the board, and it wont be eligible for rma afterwards

and suggesting to buy more hardware before finding out what component is causing the whine is just dumb

if the gpu or mobo choke coils are causing the whine, a 2500w psu is not going to solve it

Yep, just bad advice all around, though writing a 'guide' having never experienced the issue or 'fixed' it themselves is pretty bold.

that guide is filled with false information

do better

1. a stronger PSU does NOT reduce coil whine
2. telling people to glue stuff WILL get there hardware fried
3. "acoustic noise mitigation" is not a bios option from what i can tell
4. hardware drivers cannot reduce coil whine :pray:
5. different clock speed, voltages and bios settings won't do anything as it is a hardware issue
and a lot more

Don't AMD GPUs and don't buy cheap NVIDIA aib models. Never had coil-whine problem since Maxwell but almost every second rdna GPU I tested, had coil-whine.

My Gigabyte motherboard has that option, but I am concerned it might cause increased instability.

Doesn't matter the model, it's just bad luck if you get it, but, it can go away with time if you are lucky.

I've heard people have had it on the top models and the base models.

I've been lucky and got it for the first time on my 5060ti, which was extra annoying as it's in an htpc on all day, but it's cleared up a few months on.

I guess the best protection against it is to buy from amazon as you can return it then, where as other stores won't accept coil whine as a valid reason.

ok

1. do you have some proof of this ? in some case it can solve confirmed by user so u have false
2. agree not recommanded but can help need high temp glue
3. false
4. some report this can help
5. undervolt is know to reduce coil you speak about something you don't know.

You wrote a 'guide' with potentially dangerous miss information you have read others accounts if with no real evidence or experience.

You really should taje it down and only try writing a guide if you actually know from experience how stuff works.

Stop trying to defend your 'guide'.

No because is good accept it no more dangerous than what you can read on other forums if you are jealous make your own, you have nothing to say, pathetic.

1.
some psus can help, but not all
nothing more you can do about it
if its the psu making the whine, a different psu will solve it

2.
no, glue is not going to help unless the coil itself is exposed, none on a modern mobo are
choke coils do not get hot, you do not need high temp glue
but mobos no longer have choke coils that look like this

3.
moving the pc to another room will help you no longer hear it
but thats not possible in all scenarios, or if you want to show off the pc

4.
using ms generic 2d only driver may help, since its no longer using hardware acceleration
but thats really about it
if it uses the gpu to its potential, a coil that can whine will

5.
same as 4
different load can change coil whine volume, or frequency, making it more or less audible

we are not asking you to take it down, just suggesting to help save you

giving bad advice on a trusted source is not advised

of someone follows your advice and it causes bigger problems, you can be to blame

I make this guide after long research about this problem it just reflect solutions availlable all around the web im not the inventor of glue trick search for it and you will see on many website agree that is a stupid idea so will remove this from guide but i can't be blamed about people do "at your own risk" same for everything.

exactly where in your guide does it say to 'try at your own risk'?
