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.

After running a bunch of stress tests and capping the frames to 140. It seems like the whining has decreased after each run.

If the sound changes with the load on the card, it's very likely coil whine. You might be able to fix it with V-sync.

Capping FPS to 140 for my monitor, but that doesn't seem to help.

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.

Are your games running at uncapped framerates and reaching above 400 fps? The more FPS you're getting the more stress being put on the GPU.

fps was sitting around 140 in the test (running mw2 benchmark)
