Hi Folks
I have a spare R9 Nano that I am fond of repurposing as a daily driver and heater in this cold winter time . However the coil whine is almost unbearable and irritating to say the least and could trigger my tinnitus and haunt me as I sleep . I understand this is a common issue with the R9 Fiji/ Hawaii cards .
I had done some google Fu but, haven't really seen any clear solutions for coil whine . There are some anecdotal threads of Down-voting to reduce the whine by replacing resistors and Wattman software mods , though no tutorial or explanation that I am confident following. I was even contemplating hot glue or silicon but I cannot imagine this working either . Personally I thought replacing the Inductors would eliminate or at least negate the whine ( I am pretty sure its the inductors ) . However I could not find the Henry rating or suitable replacements , though I am fairly skilled with an Iron .
If I can downvolt , is it as simple as flashing a custom BIOS , or using software ? Or would it have to be done through a hardware mod ( replacing resistors ) ? Even if the card is working without whine , I would still be interested in lowering the TDP/ Power consumption
With regard to the Whine , are there any Inductors on the market for these cards ( see below)?
