yea it’s my gpu... just never used to whine. Might be either the psu or the fact that I put the accelero on and took off all those stock plates and thermal pads and now everything is out in the open. But I did notice the whine is less when I reduce the FPS or power draw. I undervolted it last night and it reduced the noise by like 40% .... when I change the resolution from 1440p to 1080p it goes away
Hey, 3700x, MSI b450i, 3600mhz 16gb crucial, GTX 1080ti, Corsair sf 600 gold. So my card never used to make any noise like that, however, I was using it with the stock cooler and an EVGA g3 750w. I recently put the accelero iii on it and changed the psu. The whine is very load with it at stock settings, I was able to reduce it by like 30-40% by undervolting it and capping the FPS. I also noticed that it completely stops when I change from 1440p resolution to 1080p. Which is weird, I’ve always used it at 1440p.
Just finished my build with the Impact and corsair h100i v2. No interference whatsoever. Just don’t buy the 100i v2 (I had to use it cause I bought it over 6 months ago, way before I decided to build in the ncase). It got thick tubes and they are really hard to bend.
Could be why in notice mine less now. Will try that out. It's all about certain currents on the capacitors. Every capacitors vibrates but it's just about what frequency.
They are spaced for 140mm fans, yes. However, there isn't quite 140mm across the width of the case between the clips that secure the side panels, so normal 140mm fans won't fit. They're there so people can experiment with using round framed fans, modded fans, removing the clips, etc.
Interesting, I didn’t know this. At my old apartment I used to have my pc connected to a unit like that. Lol, as I mentioned before I never heard coil whine from my gpu before. Going to try the psu first. Then I’ll try other options but thank you for the heads up. I’ll add that as a possible option.
Thanks.
ahah. i just remove usb n audio, so the power button not conflicted with fan and change to another io faceplate with power button only for simpler looks
Do you think there'd be room for, say, a 140mm at the back and a 120mm at the front, with the I/O still connected?
Dang man, I guess I’m not the only one! The old cooler and heat sink was certainly holding it all down and dampening that coil whine. Now that it’s all out in the open you can hear it loud and clear. I tried swapping the psu yesterday and nothing. So I’m living with it for now, I under volted it and it brought the noise down a fair amount
The holes are 25mm in diameter. I believe the OD of the grommet is 30mm. There's a thread here about some alternatives and where to get them.
