I have an ASUS TUF 1000W Gold , considered switching to the Corsair RM1000x 2024 , but after a lot of research, it feels like too much of a gamble
I might just be unlucky with how the thermal pads make contact with the VRMs
I've already tried multiple solutions, capping FPS at 60/120/140, undervolting, setting the power limit to the lowest, toggling G-Sync on and off , but nothing seems to help.. in fact, it almost makes it sound like the card is choking on something rather than just whining, like a scratching/cracking noise; if I reset everything to default, the coil whine comes back, and it's very loud; my phone doesn't pick it up that well due to how it cancels out noise 😆
real issue is that the coil whine isn't just limited to gaming , it happens even in general applications and sometimes while idle on the desktop
to top it off, RMA isn't even a viable option since there's no stock available and if I opt for a return, m egekko won't refund the full amount due to their "opened product, can't resell" policy
