Yes I have heard Asus cards in Asus boards have terrible coil whine both 3000 and 4000 series. The reports of no coil whine RTX 4090s were with Asus mobos, but non Asus 4090s including even some MSI cards. But the non Asus 4090s were in Asus motherboards at least that's what lots of people have...

Well these cards all had too much. I had a Gigabyte Gaming OC 3090 TYi that had very faint to almost none. It was more like a slight quiet change of the pitch in dead air when under full load rather than an annoying buzzing/whine/humming that all 4090s I tried had. I expect a 4090 with no worse...

I just got an eVGA SuperNOVA 1600 T2. Those Leadex based Super Flower PSUs of which the eVGA SuperNOVA G2, P2, and T2 are based on are outstanding as yours is as well. The T2 in paryticular per reviews has best ripple suppression. It's a shame they are out of production now as they were some of...

Sounds like my luck. Every darn 4090 I have tried has too much coil whining buzzing and I have tried 6 of them including FE, 2 Gaming OC, an Aorus Master, and 2 PNY XLR8s. What kind of motherboard and power supply do you have and did you use direct connect 12vhpwr cable or included adapter?

And are you still using the same motherboard and PSU in your signature? Trying to gather as much data as I can for an RTX 4090 coil whine free gaming system.

Are your case fans quiet and no coil whine at all even if you out your ear close to the card when it is under a tough gaming 100% load??

Interesting though I have been told and it would make sense that it is very unlikely that motherboard would have anything to do with coil whine on a GPU and it would more be the power supply if anything, Well I could not go to Asus motherboard if I want to stick with DDR5 (2 X 16GB) 6000 to...

Not much now, but more for the future without having to build again in a year or 2. If I was to stay DDR4, miswell stayed with a 12th gen 12700K.

Another Asus user with good report for coil whine on RTX 4090 and this is under load you hear no whine at all as that is what counts. I had an Asus Tuf Z690. Then when Raptor Lake dropped and hearing of DDR5 RAM improvements and my parents a surprise gift of new car contribution money, I decided...

What kind of motherboard, CPU and power supply?

I have been looking so hard for a coil whine free RTX 4090. I have tried 4 different cards. 2 Gigabyte Gaming OCs, a PNY XLR8 and a Gigabyte Aorus Master. All unfortunately have too much coil whine like buzz during a high end AAA game even at only 80 to 120 FPS. Not insanely bad, but...

Well yeah 5000 series CPUs were significantly better than 3000. And yeah they released 58003DX to respond to Intel. But why so soon to release 3D VCACHE on Ryzen 7000? Perhaps is Ryzen 7000 regular non-VCACHE CPUs going to be released within a month and ahead of schedule to get lots of sales...

https://wccftech.com/amd-ryzen-7000-raphael-x-zen-4-v-cache-desktop-cpu-launch-late-2022-confirmed/ AMD appears they are going to release Raphael-X CPUs with the 3D V-CACHE in November or December 2022. That tells me IPC and overall performance uplift is likely to be underwhelming compared to...

Don't you mean after Athlon 64 K8 days? Athlon 64 K8 was spanking Intel starting late 2003 until July 2006 when Intel dropped the superior Conroe and rest was history for AMD until AMD came out with Zen 2 which made parity with Intel Coffee Lake clock for clock and had higher core counts and was...

Yeah I agree. I buy based on cores and not SMT/HT. In fact I turn that off as I like real cores/threads. With 12 real cores, that is plenty for gaming and in fact overkill. but overkill in a good way as games start to scale with more cores. 16 cores is probably more than overkill for gaming and...

Heck yes it is. AMD has done am impressive job indeed and really right now only option I look at it as Intel is not so good beyond 8 cores as they cannot get more and I do not at all care for the hybrid arch and e core latency is horrible. With AMD you can get more than 8 p cores. Its quite a...

Like meaning do you think the standard Zen 4 16 core part will give 5800 XD gaming performance or better than it? Or will we have to wait for the 3D-VCACHE versions of Zen 4 first?

As for 2nd generation AM5 platforms, will there even be any before Zen 5? I mean aftercall AMD released X570 as the flagship for Zen 2 and never released another chipset for Zen 3? It was X570 and the slightly stepped down B550 that were the flagships and stayed on for Zen 3 with no new releases...

Well actually I game at 1440p exactly. Is above 1440p only to care, or even at that resolution should I care with a 5900X. Cause I do not game at 4K And yes I have l looked at what Intel has rolling out and has come out with. I was at a time intrigued by Alder Lake, but I did not care at all...

Your thoughts. I have heard mixed reviews. No one will know for sure until it is out. Its set for September 15 barely under 3 months away. How much performance improvement do you see for gaming and future high end video cards installed in a Zen 3 vs Zen 4 system with same core count CPU. Do you...

I also did not care for Windows 11. Windows 10 is not thread director aware so really needed 11 for Alder Lake. So I went back to 5900X. Plus the heat consumption of Alder Lake was very very high. Its much more tame on Zen 3. Yes the 12900K shows to be faster in games as Golden Cove can clock...

I notice that Windows 11 parks all unused cores by default. And WIN10 parks all but the e cores on Alder Lake. With e cores disabled at BIOS level it functions with nothing parked. Only on Alder Lake though I notice that behavior not on other CPUs. I went back to Ryzen 5900X with one CD at...

Those are really good numbers. And is the temp average 80C in Cinebench or peak at 80C. I do get a peak 81C, but very rare and brief and like 1/2 second and it averages 70 to 75 almost the entire run. I have seen Alder Lake CPUs do that where they will have a very high peak, but only for like a...

I only paid $749. Its way better. I mean these are binned 12900Ks that have SP scores in the high 100s to 200s. Much higher binning gives better chance at lower voltages with similar clocks and thus lower temps. And max all core boost for P cores is 4.9GHz for 12900K where as 5.2GHz for...

I wanted the strong binning because I want lower temps as I only air cool and refuse water cooling. And I did not gimp anything other than shutting off HT. 5.1GHz all core at 1.275V LLC Level 6 out of 8 is way way better than a 12900K non S can do. And it is going to be my CPU and main machine...

How would it use more power with e cores off. Less cores means less power. Unless you leave AI overclock on and it clocks P cores higher. But I always do a static overlocked frequency anyways.

Have all 8 P cores enabled with hyper threading also enabled, but e cores disabled?? Have all 8 P cores and all 8 e cores enabled but hyper threading disabled?? I know most games at least not yet do not scale much beyond 8 threads and real cores, but that is changing, though games it seems...

I am looking for a good free one. Or maybe a paid one as well. And more so light on CPU or at least optimized on CPU usage across P and e cores of an Alder Lake. RAM usage matters to, but less so as RAM is so plentiful these days if you have 32GB or more. Though something using more than 1 GB...

Thanks for all help everyone. I decided to get the Fractal Torrent. Should provide excellent airflow and relatively low noise unless you run all included fans maximum Though really any 140mm fans at 1600 RPM and 180-200mm fans at 1200 RPM are going to be at least somewhat loud just no way around...

Yes you are right. They should have done the test with Skylake and Haswell and Zen CPUs with same core counts and SMT/HT disabled on all for fair comparison. The e cores are good and I really believe I am going to like 16 real cores with HT shut off on my 12900KS once system is completed. 8 of...

That certainly put the e cores in a much more positive light than the Techspot article here: https://www.techspot.com/review/2374-intel-alder-lake-architecture/ The TechSpot article says their IPC is more like Sandy Bridge. Where as Tech Power up say they are more like Skylake IPC. Well to be...

Yeah you are right. And the e cores though not as good as p cores are actually pretty decent and pack a powerful punch. The P cores obviously have best IPC in the world of any CPU core clock for clock of currently on market CPUs. How would you rate e cores IPC. I have heard it is like Sylake or...

Which of these 4 cases would you pick if you had to choose? For a 12900KS build cooled by a Noctua NH-D15S with dual 120/140mm fans and a Asus Tuf GeForce RTX 3090. No HDDS/Optical disc drives Which case would provide best balance between cooling and relatively low noise for that setup out of...

Which fans would these be. I have heard most Noctua are great? Are Be Quiet Silent Wings 3 really good as well or are they overhyped for air flow at low noise levels??? I heard Gamers Nexus mention they are quiet because they spin slower than others?? I did notice some new Be Quiet Silent Wings...

What are some of the best quality fans with lowest noise at 1000 RPM you can buy?? Any recommendations? And what do you think of Phanteks Enthoo Pro 2 with 3 140mm intakes and 1 140mm exhaust?? Good setup or is there something better?

Yeah thanks for reply and advice. Yes I have heard stock fans are often not very good. Though have heard some cases it is bad to add fans as it messes with airflow? Is that true or FUD. I suppose you do not want top fans as that can mess with airflow but adding to front or rear is fine and...

I know often silence with good airflow is contradictory and hard. This is for all air cooling no liquid cooling at all Will use a Noctua NH-D15S with dual 140mm fans and an Asus Tuf RTX 3090 video card. Only 2 SATA SSDs and no HDDs nor optical drives Does not have to be whisper quiet, but...

Now that I think of it more as I myself am going back to Alder Lake 12900KS specifically from AMD, shouldn't WIN10 work fine as long as the e cores and p cores have static frequencies set? I mean since Intel Coffee Lake and going all the way through Rocket Lake, And with AMD starting with...

I mean their Alder Lake CPUs still top out at 8 P cores. Rest of cores are efficiency cores? Is this a design choice or a technical limitation? I mean would they have been able to make a 10 core CPU with just 10 P cores as 4 e cores take space of 1 P core I heard. The Intel Alder Lake P...

Yeah makes sense. I do not remember for sure, but I think most games back in the day used 70 to 80% of CPU if it was not CPU bottlenecked so I assumed Generals is no different. But it is a strategy game, so probably just uses 100% of 1 CPU core regardless of its power and would have on a much...
