I just got this used msi 290x card off ebay a couple days ago and just got all the drivers installed, which happened to take 20 mins. Not too happy about that but it's all done finally. I grabbed the 14.7 beta which shows up as 14.6 in afterburner.
Anyway, it's sporting anice ek water block and runnign flawless, except for one major annoying issue now. It has some crazy coil whine coming from it, only when I move the mouse around! As soon as the move is not moving the sound is gone. Is this common?
I read around and people seem to point at either the psu or the card. This is a reference msi card, and I am running a corsair modual 620w which should be enough power I would think. I am running 6x gentle typhoons and my water system.
Please help me out with this, it's driving me nuts and I'm beginning to regret my purchase.
I believe the noise was not present before I installed the new drivers if this helps.
Also loaded up a game and the noise is not present until I am back on the desktop.
