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?

In fact, Nvidia allow their partners to implement 2x12V-2*6 connectors for their graphics cards.  But I expect they don't want due higher costs.

imho, 9070xt and 5070ti at MSRP are the ultra banger spots this generation. USA is lagging, but other countries are already getting close to MSRP on a lot of their cards.

I'll do some more testing tomorrow to see where my memory tops off

 

 

How are you cooling the card?

Yeppers, HWU is correct. "As it stands now" aka with the inflated prices on the 9070xt (not MSRP) and scarcity, the 5070 is the better buy because pricing on the 9070xt atm is outlandish. No one should ever pay more than $700 tops for a 9070xt or it quickly loses its value. I mean, I'm glad people continue to buy it in the face of Nvidia, but that doesn't change the value proposition.

 

If you're dropping more than $700 or especially $800, start looking for a 5070ti or queue up for a 5080 FE.

I think you asked me how the Alphacool CORE block is working, but I don't see the post now. It's doing just fine. I have not really done anything with the GPU since installing the CORE block.

Stock heatsink, my room is small so if im running my equipment the window AC unit is running, especially with heat ramping up here in Texas. I tend to essentially disable all electronics while im working and keep things minimal until 8PM when electricity is "Free".  Then its more or less off to the races.

The Red Devil heatsink is definitely a chonky heatsink, but I dont know that it would cool 550w adequately.

From Left to Right is probably this order.

General Tune > Specific Tune > Aquas Extreme Tune

No. I do not have a surprised look on my face. Business as usual.
