that bites, have you tried using msi afterburner and move the core voltage slider to +12? that worked for me on my GTX 680 when I first bought it.

To get rid of coil whine:

1. Pick a heavy loading application of your choice (Kombuster, Furmark, Litecoin Mining, F@H)
2. Run it for many hours

Coil whine typically reduces after stressing the card for an extended period.

yes I have heard of that before, thanks for reminding me for next time. thumb.gif

i dont think mine is a coil whine, its a fan whine, when i increase the rpm of the fan the whine increases as well

try lubricating the fans. You'll likely have to disassemble the cooling shroud though

Does this really work?

I got coil whine on my MSI 4G too, only it's more like a buzz, a lot like a writing/reading HDD. I woulda've RMAed it if I hadn't spent over a hundred bucks in shipping and customs charges since I bought it from abroad. Spending even more to get a replacement that may have this issue too doesn't seem like a very bright perspective to me. The noise alone doesn't really bother me much as I'm always playing in headphones, still sucks knowing that you're one of the unfortunate ones.

Also, mine seems to be running a bit hotter than others. After about 5 minutes of furmark it reached 70 and that's not even at the highest boost clocks 1189 on average. When playing Shadows of Mordor it can easily reach 66-67 and the door of chassis is open.
It can be anything from 37 to 55 while idle due to the clock spikes (but I take it others get those too.)

Well, got my G1 today so I guess I'm now part of the club. Performance is a bit worse than my 670 FTW SLI setup as expected, at least in benchmarks, but this thing is ice cold/silent in comparison. Didn't even hit 60C in Firestrike when my 670s would be somewhere in the 70s, probably close to 80, with the fans going hard. ASIC is not great from what I can gather, 63.8% but I'm still curious how it will OC. With firestrike my graphics score for the 670s was 13650 (left them at FTW stock due to heat/noise when OCing further) and my stock run with the G1 yielded 12018, so I'm curious how close it'll get. Interestingly, my overall score is actually only slightly less because my combined score went from 3852 to 4452.

Remember it's hard to compare user temperatures with such drastically different setups/circumstances; Case size, airflow, ambients and so on. And as always there's no reason to run furmark tongue.gif

As a reference my G1 scores 14k + graphics score in Firestrike. Clocks are 1591/8000.

I was running an Asus 970 on 3440x1440 and it was great! Crysis 3 st high to medium was 45-60fps and shadow of mordor ultra 45+fps as well. No noticeable stutters at all. You'll be fine for 3440 if you turn down just a fee things
