Why is my Coil Whine Getting Worse?

-

I’ve got a Gigabyte RX6600, and I’ve noticed that the coil whine has become really loud and annoying lately. I’m planning to upgrade to a 7700XT next month for my birthday, but I’m trying to convince my parents to let me get the Sapphire Pure version instead, since it’s 100 euros more than the Gigabyte card. Honestly, I’m not too happy with Gigabyte right now because of this issue.

Coil whine can be pretty frustrating! It’s not just the GPU causing it; various parts in your system can contribute. Have you looked into all the things that can affect it? There are some known fixes you might want to try if you haven’t already. Maybe check out this guide for some tips: [link].

I’ve already tried undervolting and several other fixes, but it somehow got worse just two days ago! I definitely want to get that Sapphire card since it’s supposed to be quieter and of better quality.
