    HD Plex 300W Coil Whine and crashes

    Afterburner get real finicky with the gpu boost and power target, have you tried manual underclocking the card? That was what worked for my 1070. If not rma HDPlex is pretty lenient with its rma policy.

    Larry did say that the new hdplex model should alleviate coil whine paired with higher power cards. Still have the old 250w model which coil whine pretty badly with a 1070 unless you framecap it and lower the power limit.

    With the new hdplex model, maybe we'll get that Vega Nano one day. Hopefully no coil-whine :)

    S4 MINI Classic (S4M-C)

    I have a modded s4 with a Gigabyte 1070, initially I do get lower temps with modded panel, heat does build up after an hour or two. I am keeping the fan speed under 45% though.

    Removed the unibody in hope of better temps for my 1070. Big thanks to Josh for providing the perforated steel. Even included a bit of the modders tape! Also @Saltvann I get the same problem using mobile imgur. Try copying and pasting the direct link that contain i.imgur

    Coil Whine? 1070 Mini

    Hey, Marc I've spoken with HDPlex support about my situation with the coil whining. They have agree to do an exchange. You could contact them yourself and ask.

    Coil Whine? 1070 Mini

    Yeah pretty much what mine's sound like, maybe be less loud... HDPlex has a pretty generous rma/support though. I believe it a three year warranty.

    Coil Whine? 1070 Mini

    Rivatuner. It still whines even capped and vsync in Witcher 3. The only solution I found was limiting the power limit and underclocking the gpu, there no coil whine under 1500mhz . That what I thought originally. Though it sounds like coming the gpu, it really hard to tell. Going take...

    Coil Whine? 1070 Mini

    Hello, I recently upgrade to Gigabyte 1070 mini, my experience with it has been rather good except for the ridiculous coil whine. I never had issue in the past because it would only happen in startup/ start menu. This card coil whines during full load. I have tried capping my framerate with no...

    S4 MINI Classic (S4M-C)

    I ordered from from my-adaptor.com, ironically I found the site through this very thread. The business operates somewhere in China. I already left them an email as there no sign of a warranty policy on their website. Not counting on much, to be honest.

    S4 MINI Classic (S4M-C)

    My Dell 330w power adapter just die on me. :( Was browsing around when my S4 suddenly shut off. At first I thought it was my cpu but I realize that the led light on the power brick was off completely. Tried messing around for a bit but it seems like the adapters dead. Just wanted to vent a bit...

    S4 MINI Classic (S4M-C)

    The problem is that in closed case environment the fan just isn't pushing enough cool air and heat just builds up. Fortunately, I am running a table fan 24/7 nearby which does help. In this case, I'm getting around 77-80c in Last Light. Keep in mind every other game (BF4, Witcher 3) I am getting...

    S4 MINI Classic (S4M-C)

    Using an HDPLEX 250 with the Dell 330w and 180-195 watts at 100% load. Everything is stock settings and the power limit is at 100%. At 55% fan speed, closed case and no active external cooling it runs around 86c. The Metro Redux series have always been quite rough on gpus though. Was running at...

    S4 MINI Classic (S4M-C)

    Does anyone have an EVGA 1060 SC in their S4 case? I'm finding that without external cooling (fan/ac) the card gets really toasty in certain games. Albeit it is summer time and it just one game ((Metro Last Light) specifically.
