Geforce 8k-9K Series Clubhouse

yeah its almost the same pitch as that stupid ringtone that old people cant hear, it started off outside UK malls to keep loiterers away. and likewise my mum cant hear the high pitch whine, nor can my 23 year old sister, but i can.

 

[tkpenalty]

Every 8800GT i've tested makes the noise... its the chokes. Dont worry about it guys, but take note, the more voltage the louder the chokes will whine. At 1.1v the GPU is quiet, at 1.2v... the phases arent very quiet anymore.

 

[Widjaja]

ROFL!
Neither can my mother.
For some reason she doesn't like flatscreen T.Vs and kept watching off a old wood box fishbowl type one which made an unbearable high pitch frequencies.

Since the T.V. wouldn't die my brother and I searched for the exact same one which worked and swapped the guts of it over to the old one.

Now when we visit we don't have to sit there complaing about the noise of the T.V. because it's an imposter in disguise and a good laugh between my brother and I.

I found out whats the high pitch noise when I turn off the PC.
It was my mouse!
Put my ear up to the underside of the mouse and there was the noise.

My new motherboard appears to be incapable of turning off the mouse if plugged into the PS/2 socket once shutdown.
Plugged it into a USB and its all go.

Constant faint on and off chiming is still there when the PC is running though.
Will look into that next.
I know when I first used this card, the fan was catching on something so that will be what I'll look at first.

You should hear the noise they make when you accidentally use a 1000 Ohm VR for a voltmod, when you were actually supposed to use a 100K Ohm VR.

^Trust you to do something like that^

TK
Can you show me a pic of where the chokes are located or what they look like?

ROFLMAO. What happened to the choke?

Wait what the hell your mouse? Do you feel any small current going through the PC when its on?

Feeling a current?

This is riddiculous.
My card makes the noise when I'm doing nothing.
And gets louder when I surf the net.
I pretty sure my old overheating car didn't do this as long as I had it.

It makes different noises depending on which way I turn my head.

Sounds like a grounding issue.
But from the card?

I'll have another search around the PC for the sound.

Its normal, not something i'd worry about. I'd get a new case with decent acoustic dampening if the problem is that bad.

 

[wolf]

yeah ive sorta tuned out of mine, also the sound changes pitch when changing from 2d to 3d, and different amounts of graphical load change the noise slightly too.

so since im a graphics card whore and i cant get enough of them i was thinking of upgrading from my vmodded GT already.... the question is, another GT + Zalman + Vmod, or a GX2, maybe a 9800GTX....or i could save my $$ and wait from the real next gen....

penny for your thoughts chaps.

 

[Widjaja]

Took out all other peripherals and it's definitely the card.
I'm finally used to the noise now though, as you said Wolf tuned out.
What's weird though is I can now hear other high frequencies easier besides the chokes on the GT.

What's a case with acoustic dampening?
I wouldn't know what case to go for.
My current case is a POS.
It doesn't even sit flat on the table.

IMO wolf I'd go for the next gen.
The 9800 series is a waste of money IMO.
Bloody hell, just checked your specs, you have a flowy rig alright.
I don't know where you would put all the fans.

 

[wolf]

lol yeah, the only different thing about my rig now is the E4500 has been replaced by a Q6600 , and if you think with those fans its flowy, wait till i post pics of rig 2

9800GTX has the same perf as a 8800GTS 512MB. Price is more expensive and with more power usage (thanks to the redundant power phases) and the requirement to install two PCI-E 6x connectors as well as the fact that the PCB is bloody long, i would advise you NOT to go for the card. Instead get one 8800GTS 512MB, and with what you save, upgrade something else! Its one card I'd stay away from.

Recommended 8/9 Series GPUs:

8600GT
8800GT 512MB
9600GT 512MB
8800GTS 512MB
9800GX2.

thats about it.

well a little off topic, but i got the core of this 8600 to 800 without modding it, but the shaders cap at a mere 1700, and the mem at 2200, very disapoiting, and solaris, if no one buys this card, im gonna be sending you some photos so i can get the fastest 8600 around.

You are on topic . How about the performance?

 

[Widjaja]

Found the high pitch noise.
I totally dismantled my motherboard and put it all back together.
Now the high pitch noise has stopped.
It was coming through my head phones on my right side and left me with a temporary ringing in my ear.
Some sort of strange Earthing problem.
I think.

we can compete for fastest 8600GT im waiting on Solaris to find some soldering points for my XFX model, ive already got the resistors so ill be set....mmmmm 1ghz.....

and about upgrading.... if my best choice was a 8800GTS 512 i wouldn't bother, as my 8800GT is at GTS levels, so if i really wanted more performance i guess i get another 8800GT and SLi em. or sell the vmodded 8800GT for a bundle and get 2x9600GT in SLi, which is only about 15% more cost than one 8800GT over here.

Solaris17 will win hands down

 

[wolf]

iunno dude, with his help, anything is possible.

 

[tkpenalty]

Bump.... what happened to the members? Where are all the 9 series and 8 series owners gone to?

 

[Widjaja]

Gaming.

 

[wolf]

thats what geforce 8 and 9 cards are best at

lol... I havent touched the 8800 in like one week. Rofl. Lets see how I go "WOW" When i get back onto my primary...

 

[tkpenalty]

Damn E6300...While the 3D scores are high the CPU score is abysmal... I cant push the CPU more thanks to it's super low Multi.

I want a E8400...

EDIT: Oc'ed 8800...

lol... Now I'm trying to clock the shaders, it surprises me how far they clock. Right now I'm currently on 1960mhz for the shaders... I thought 1.8Ghz was as far as I could go-how wrong am I! Memory, well 1.95GHz; im playing it safe, as it doesnt take 2Ghz.

 

[tkpenalty]

3rd run after playing around... finally broke the 13k Mark 06 barrier!
