Here's the thing. In the future you don't need to do anything. Just accept what you get😀 Bright future?

If you swap from a glass panel to a mesh panel this is what happens. Sound travels with the air. Every 5090 has some level coil whine. That’s just what it is. Astrals, FE’s, the list goes on. 

 

No, that's not how it is.

 

Every card has different levels of coil whine and electronic noise. Some are loud and some are quiet bordering on non existent. Some are medium.

 

WoW / Fallout 76  / Timespy testing

 

I run my case completely open and as you know it sits up and right next to me about three feet away from my ear.

 

My Astral is quiet even when hitting 238fps cap (display cap is 240hz) in WoW, Fallout 76 at 175fps (engine cap) and TS testing.

Second Astral I tested and sent off to my bud had audible coil whine at 100fps and worse at 200fps

His 5090FE was very audible and loud at anything 100fps+. 200fps+ was a very audible. Not 3090 FE level but leaning more towards that than anything

Both of my Gigabyte 9070xt were  quiet which was an about face compared to 7900xtx.

My 4090 MSI Liquid X was very quiet under load sub 200fps. 200fps+ it would come to life.

My 5080FE was nearly dead silent and remains the quietest GPU I've tested at 200fps+

Every 7900xtx I tested besides the MSI was loud.

3070 Founders was very audible closer to the 3090 FE.

3070ti Master was quiet

3080 Strix was actually medium noise but acceptable.

My 3090 FE was the worst offender. It still gives me coil whine PTSD.

Took some doing to get the vBIOS to cooperate with the 7900 XTX. 

Flashed via CH341A programmer with NeoProgrammer software. Originally tried the Nitro+ vBIOS, while it worked immediately it only lifted the TDP to 460w versus the 430w I was already working with.

 

Then on to the AQUAS vbios which was said to have a 550w TDP limit. flashed it, but lost video on all DP/HDMI ports. Switched to the backup bios, rebooted and installed some remoting tools as my keyboard was behaving as if its in OS. 

Confirmed my suspicion but resolution was 640x480 at best. Reinstalled drivers but didnt seem to change the video out problem. Went for the AQUAS vBIOS from Asrock (extreme version) which did detect "Correctly" that I had the right "card" however, refused to install while an AMD driver was installed. Once I resolved that stipulation, Windows flashed the extreme vbios and my DP/HDMI ports came back to life.

 

Red Devil scores on chilled air cooling. 

 

To get higher I would definitely need the EVC2SE module, water cooling and chilled water. Was not able to beat @Hiew's 9070XT score of 7911 yet, maybe a fresh install of Windows, this instance has been in service for a year or so now.

I also replaced the screws on the retention bracket, and the other GPU screws as well as the previous owner was quite rough with this card before I got it. I still have yet to apply PTM7950, now that I have more or less unlocked what I can do on air its time to get that applied.

 

I mostly wanted to also maintain above 3Ghz, for no other reason than 3Ghz is better than 2.8Ghz 🙂

 

 

 

 

 

That is awesome! You managed to squeeze the Asrock Aqua 7900xtx vBIOS on your red devil? Nice.

 

What do you get on a normal TS run to compare to my card results database?
