It's quite late here and I had a very long day, I apologise if it comes off as a no-effort post. Let me tell you step-by-step what happened, because I feel like letting it out of myself. If you want the important bit, skip to the end.
When I got home in the evening I decided to install my new GPU. Installation was frustrating, however I was really careful with everything I have been doing. Along with the new GPU, I have also installed a new power supply.
The power supply is a Corsair RM750X, and the GPU is an MSI RTX 2080 DUKE. It has one of those cool features that you aren't really supposed to hear it, and the fans won't turn on until something like 49 Degrees Celsius? Anyway. After I booted up, the resolution was weird, same as when you re-install Windows and the drivers aren't installed yet. I wanted to install fresh drivers anyway. Drivers installed. Excitement through the roof. Let's fire up some benchmarks within games. I heard of the term 'coil whine' before, but never really had to research it until today. Looks like my GPU has it, it is a really weird screeching noise, but it's the least of my worries. My GPU runs at about 50 Celsius Idle (measured with MSI afterburner), and after about 5 minutes of gaming, it goes up to 78-80 Celsius. This results in a fan speed of about 65% (again, according MSI afterburner). It sounds like a jet taking off in my backyard. I can hear it through headphones, I can hear it on the toilet, I can hear it down in Africa. I tried reinstalling the drivers many times. I will try 'DDU' tomorrow. If not, I might have to return, but first I need some opinions if there is anything I can possibly do. Forgot to mention that my case is the NZXT H500, so it's not one of those compact builds that have 0 airflow. I also want to mention that I never had problems with noise from my pc before. So yeah. I'm going to bed sad and dissapointed.
Summary: New PSU (Corsair RM750X) and a new GPU (MSI RTX DUKE 2080) inside my NZXT H500 case. GPU has coil whine, runs at about 80 Celsius after about 5 minutes of gaming, and it sounds like a jet taking off next to me. Tried reinstalling the drivers, will try it once more before bed.
