Is gpu coil whine natural?

[joji]

So I just got myself a brand new evga rtx 2060 super sc and when I'm playing games I hear a subtle whine coming from the gpu. Wondering if this is natural or fixable in any way possible. Other than that the gpu performs very well and has met my expectations so far.

monday model natural. does not happen on every card but is also not a rma reason by default afaik.

this happening is heavily affected by power circuits.
you might be able to lessen or even fix it by changing the power connection to the psu.
f.e if your psu has multiple pcie power connectors, try the other ones.

also limiting your fps should help. f.e. it does not make much sense to push 300fps to your 60hz screen.

It's a new card? It's likely just the fans. It will likely ease out over a week or a so.

Coil sound is pretty common with some NVIDIA cards. It happens when the card is processing an extreme high number of frames per second.

I suggest you to limit frame output at least to the frequency of your monitor and / or enabling vsync.
This should stop the coil sound, lower the power usage of the GPU and make the card last longer.

It is a brand new card

Get a replacement card, if you still have warranty on it. Unless everyone with that card has this problem. (?)

I´ve never owned a GPU that had a permanent coil whine. That does not seem properly manufactured, imho. I once owned an adapter that had a coil whine, and it did broke down at some point, sooner then I expected. So I don´t relate that to something that should be happening.

I don´t think it´s "natural". Or maybe it´s "normal" for that type of card? But that would surprise me, tbh. I find it hard to believe it´s supposed to do that. Feel free to disagree of course.

I would not neglect it, if I were you. Especially if you still have warranty on it.
But I don't have that card, so... I may be completely uninformed.

There must be someone with this card who can reply. (?)

Coil whine can be tricky to get rid of but it's mainly down to the psu and gpu itself in my experience. To fix you should first try a different psu then a replacement or rma of the card and if it's still there then you would have to go with a different manufacturer of the card.

There are things you can do to reduce coil whine like reducing power limits, capping fps or enabling vsync for example but if you experience it during idle or low/medium usage situations then I would try to fix it.
