DrwafflesCoil whine is pretty normal when frames are being smashed out, my old Strix OC was terrible.. It's usually loading or in menus.Frame limiters (Such as RTSS) help with it as well as improve frame time consistency.
Sclose81wasn't there a bios update for the gpus at the initial release to fix coil whine issue ? is your card running that update or is it from the initial install? have you checked gpu-z to verify your bios
Sclose81Guys i found the post ,,, if this applies to you try it forums.evgadotcom/EVGA-3080-XC3XC3-Ultra-Quiet-Fan-Firmware-Update-m3084561.aspx just fix spacing and the .com
JayManBDoes it only have coil whine at really high framerates like 200+ or all the time? I hate coil whine. I've been through this with other graphics cards switching PSUs, switching cables, and nothing has ever fixed it. Some cards either have it or they don't. There are videos of people fixing their GPUs but they are doing things to their cards that would void your warranty. This is starting to worry me about the 3080s. So far I have seen reviews of the FE card, the Strix card, and now the FTW3 cards having coil whine. The worse is the video I saw of the Strix card the reviewer put his mic next to the case window and it was really bad. Like Drwaffles said frame limiters are your best option.
EVGATech_DanielMWell, first off coil whine is subjective. Over time it will dissipate to a certain degree and based on other components in the system, mainly the PSU can be the core cause of it. As a consumer, I have had some form of coil whine on various products, but not limited to, electronic hardware such as my TP Link router which under my desk as it is currently emitting a coil whine like noise. New products which need to have the coils themselves broken in - however - some will simply be like this due to the manufacturing of the coil themselves. Most customers have their computers on their desk right next to them at an angle. Most glass cases can dampen the noise but in some cases amplify it. Using a UPS back up can cause this. I have spoken to many customers where they are completely ignoring the use of a surge protector and their PSU is plugged directly into the wall. Older houses and their wiring do factor into this as well. There are so many working parts to how coil whine happens, most of the time it's at a level that is silent to one person yet loud and obnoxious to another.

So in my journey testing this issue I have used the GPU in a different PC build and got no whine. Then I put it back in mine and got the whine again. Then im my PC i changed out my HX850 for a RM850x and it went away, then I got a brand new HX850 (previous HX was also new) and now its back. For me it seems like the GPU doesn't work with the HX850 PSU from corsair.
felicitycI switched it out for my 1070 for a while and totally forgot this was an issue, swapped the 3080 back in and bam it sounds like there are bees on my neck.
