How to stop the on/off screeches?

Ever since i got the 5902 1680point WU, the card's been stopping and starting.

Is there a way to make it work constantly? It's getting pretty damn annoying.

Mine does the same thing, but very very quietly. Almost like a phone is ringing upstairs or something. My rig already sounds like a jet engine so it gets drowned out. I would love to know how to kill it though 8).
I've only had that issue with my XFX 8800GT. Under config, there is the option to "Disable highly optimized assembly code". That may stop you from getting those WU. Not using -advmenthods should as well.
Mine has been doing that too. It does get quite annoying after a while. Luckily, I have a 4870 on the way. I know my PPD will go down, but my gaming performance will go up

drop the overclock - you can almost play a tune on the caps raising and lowering the shader


(or...to be hardcore...raise the overclock...you might be able to get the screech pitch above hearing level)

I'm gettign annoying by hte pulsing screeches.

on off on off on off... at default clock.

i want it to work continuously so that the sound will be less noticeable and the WU will get finished faster.
The 1680 pointers do that (the on/ off deal). Not sure why, and no way to force them to work constant.

They are in the general public now, so taking the -advmethods off (if they even have it) won't make a difference.
the screeching gets louder with higher shader overclocks, so dropping them down a few straps should lower the screeching.

Anyone else see the potential for the Mario theme song here?

Hueristic just made a thread on cap squealing, you might want to check it out here
im getting the same problem, i just posted a thread about it.
i'm not worried about the squeal, i always had the squeal.

i just hate the fact that it goes on and off every 5 seconds, before it just kept folding.

Mort, they must have moved the 1680 pt WU's out of the experimental phase because I rolled back from -advmethods and still get them now. That was a really fast turn around from the new core to standard ones. The 1680's now is all I get...
