Hi all,
Have finally gotten my new build up and running. Unfortunately I have hit an issue I was hoping to avoid with the choice of components I made. More exactly this video card was chosen - MSI 5770 HAWK http://eu.msi.com/index.php?func=pro...0&prod_no=1982 due to the claims of no coil whine.
Unfortunately the whine/buzz when games are displaying 2D under certain conditions is still there. Prime example and worst offender recant game wise is Stalker Call of Priprat in the main menu and options menu(the latter is particularly bad) and this gets worse the lower the resolution set in game options.
Now due to the close proximity of components I am in some doubt as to weather the coil whine is actually coming from the video card, i am going to do further testing on this as it would also seem the whine may be coming from a point on the Motherboard (MSI Trinergy in this case, and the suspected point is around/near the Nvidia NF200 on the board)
Does anyone here have any feedback/comment on this, particularly if you have first hand experience of the issue via the mentioned game STALKER.. which judgeing from comments on STEAM forums seems to be a particularly bad culprit.
