    Have had 4 980gtxs g1 gaming coil whine on all

    I'm kind of afraid when it comes to myself and testing things to be honest ahaha. I also had to take in my older card to the retailer before my 1 yr return through them ran out. So I decided to kill 2 problems with one stone with myself taking my pc there also and getting them to test it with...

    Hi guy's just an update I brought my pc to the retailer for the old gtx 980 his gonna run some tests and see if it is in fact caused by the Psu and the mobo grounding if it's the Psu I will replace it with probably the RM850i as that is as good as the EVGA supernova G2 so the reviews say. IF the...

    Yes it does say "surge protector" on the bottom and the gigabyte card is a fine brand then? And I will most likely get a new PSU and I do believe I need a better one as it does have a bit of coil whine also.

    I do have surge protection, the retailer did do an rma on it. I believe the other retailer said they can also rma it as well if it does have coil whine. If they can do it again I'll do it. Any picture of the plastic washers between the mobo/case like any specific point as to where they should...

    I could change the power outlet tomorrow to the slot next to it. I'll give it a shot before I do RMA the card's again.

    Sorry meant to say Asrock, and how about the rm850i psu? And should I get the psu before I do the RMA again on both card's?

    Hrmmm what's the difference between "group regulated, and not a VRM (voltageregulator module) based design"? also 12v multi rail ones isn't a good thing? Would it be better if I got them to try the evga supernova g2 psu? I'm also using the z77 extreme 4 gigabyte mobo atm.

    I can only hear it a lil bit from behind the pc but the main issue is the cards coil whine. I just recently found my receipt for my 1 yr old gtx 980 so. I am probably going to rma that card and this card I have also.... till I get 2 without coil whine or at least get them to test the thing's...

    Hi guy's, Just had a question I've had 4 g1 gaming gtx 980s in the past few years all had coil whine at 50+ fps even heard one of them when scrolling on the Internet. My PSU is the Cooler Master Silent Pro M2 - 850W Power Supply with 80 PLUS Silver. I have had this Psu since 2012ish. Could it...
