RTX2070 making scratching noises?

[R3dAlert93]

Brought a spanking new GPU (Evga RTX 2070 super ultra) and placed it inside my tower and now its making a scratching sound whenever I play games or select apps (desktop icons etc...) for some reason. Does that mean death for GPU?

[fux]

Maybe, why not?

Has nothing to do with evga.
This is coil whine, many gpus do it. There is nothing wrong with your card and you cant rma it for that reason.

I don't expect newly cards to have coil whine... I think most companies like MSI, EVGA, RADEON & GIGABYTE ETC... don't want coil whine with their new GPUs that just been made and shipped lol. XD

I've tried them all. Doesn't really matter which one you buy.

Anyone who says their gpu doesn't do it just got lucky.

Always buy from a place where returns or refunds isn't an issue.

As said before it's coil whine. My 2080 SUPER has it. Nothing bad, but is there. No point in RMAing the card for another one since there is a decent chance that one will have it the same, or worse.

It's nothing bad it's just coils vibrating from the power being pumped through them. Depends of the quality of coil if it's louder or quieter than another. Some people get lucky and most others don't and just live with it. It's like IPS glow. Majority of IPS monitors have it and some have worse than others but it's just a side affect of the manufacturing process.

I have read of a person who has tested over 20 2080ti's and they all had some degree of coil whine. So unless it's super loud more than likely they won't accept a RMA.

Very well... my psu has it also.

Seems like it.

Ugh... godsake. Thanks for the help anyway. I'll RMA it and get refunded my £549 back and look at amd cards from what i heard are better.

I had a few EVGA cards and they either had bad coil whine, or other odd issues with noise. My 1080sc actually had a small set of fins that somehow broke free of a heat pipe and made a nice jingling sound here and there. RMA'd it and the new one had horrendous coil whine. Went with gigabyte for my 2070 super and couldn't be happier with it.

There are also some ways to affect coil whine by changing settings.
For CPU/motherboard, for example, disabling C1E, C3 and C6 often removes coil whine alltogether, with some disadvantages like increased idle power and limited turbo boost functionality.
Similar things can be done to videocards too, similarly with some disadvantages.

Yeah a lot of gpus/psus have some coil whine and there is not much you can do about it.

Just dont keep your pc on the desk right next to your face and it should not be audible. That works for me at least.

Yeah... I hear the scratching sounds now and then but it isn't a huge problem. I should stop moaning and be grateful for what Ive got. I did have coil whine on my old psu but it went away for some reason.

From what I heard amd cards have driver issues, but not sure if it's still a thing. atleast I'm super happy with my 2070 super
I wonder what your job is if you can't see that mistakes can happen once in a while. as far as I know evga isn't known for shipping broken stuff just like all the other big companies. Delivery damage could also be a thing

"I wonder what your job is if you can't see that mistakes can happen once in a while" I paid £549 for BLIMING GPU and i expect it to be delivered not being faulty for goodness sake lol. XD

It's like some companies just think "frig it" we will be lazy and won't bother testing the card to see if it's faulty then package the new product then selling it to markets like Amazon. If it is the builders of the card then likely they will anger and lose customers if this keeps happening with their GPUs. If it is the shipping company then some heavy handed goon needs the sack.

Companies start off creating good quality products, but sometimes after they fall to being lazy and giving up that i don't want to see with Evga. But hey... I'm just salty with the creators and deliverers, not at you or steam community lol. XD

You paid 500 quid, not 5,000, why should it come in a silk lined box, in the arms of the most careful person in the world?
If you bought something for a couple of thousand, I agree, but if you're getting something for 500 quid, shipped through Royal mail, or some ♥♥♥♥ like that, where they just throw the packages, you expect ♥♥♥♥♥ like that.

I don't know why you're dropping one of the better companies just because of the actions of a worker or delivery guy.
And, that's why they allow you to get refunds / replacements, because they foresee ♥♥♥♥ like that.

At the end of the day, it's your opinion, if you want to drop a company because of one bad thing (that's unrelated to them), that's up to you.

Depends on the chokes (part of the power delivery on the card), if they're trash and vibrate lots, it's going to ''scream.'' All cards will do it to some degree, some people won't hear it (because of their hearing, and/or being drowned out), or they just don't mind it.

If you want to get ones that are going to be better coil whine wise, look for ones with 'solid chokes.'

Anything that has chokes will have coil whine.
Power supplies, Motherboards, Graphics cards, Chargers, etc.

Well, have a look to see if the fans are spinning properly first, make sure nothing is touching the fans.
When does it happen? When it's idle, or under load?

Though, personally, I haven't heard any coil whine that sounds ''scratchy.'' In my opinion, that sounds like a fan bearing that's gone (most likely from shipping, like I said earlier.)

It happens.
Different sounds are possible, and IMO those resambling "scratching" are by far better/less annoying than high-pitch whine.

Thats odd... It doesn't make scratching noises when wildlands and assassins creed is running, but only with fallout and skyrim when running for some reason.

So add fallout4.exe and just the frame rate limit and nothing else? I am new to RTSS and never used it.
