Sorry guys can you help me locate the inductors ? I have a problem of coil whine to a reference 670 and I read around that you just put a bit of hot glue on the coils to make it stop. The 1R0 is the only one?
Thanks for reply ! I try with glue (all cover) but the noise is still, I can rule out psu because I tried two others, is the video card but I can not understand where it comes from : (
try loading it unigine heaven for a few hours, some times it irons itself out. i had psu with coil whine and it went away when i loaded it for a few hours.
No. 1R0 may be an inductor, but it's not a core power inductor. Looks like the core power inductors are the ones labeled YAGEO R22. Looks like there are four of them. But I heard the glue method does not work on enclosed inductors like the ones on your card.
The new one can have Coil Whine aswell. I suggest you get a 670 with a 680 PCB. I havn't had Coil Whine on nVidia Cards since my GTX 285.
the FTW 670s have minor coil whine but you can barely hear it. its like 1000x less then the 560 i previously had that drove people nuts. and by minor you would have to have the fans stopped in the case to hear it.
I beg to differ I have Evga 670 gtx FTW and that thing has terrible coil whine, that is heard over all my pc fans and there not exactly quiet just like the ECS 460 I returned for refund. I in the process of rma my psu and that dont fix it i rma the 670 and that dont work I going back to the 450gts I will deal with fan noise but I will not deal with coil noise. So far I have RMA 2nd 460ti for same issue before I went for refund, right now the current evga 670gtx ftw screeches like banshee under any kind of load that takes more the 60% power draw
I've read of many who have made RMA but without result, or has not accepted the RMA or return a new card with the noise :bang: Can be easily removed with fingers. I have a soundless pc, all fans downvolt ecc... the card (zotac 670) has an accelero mounted on (I mounted for the temperatures and noise lol). I understand my friend, I understand.. :wanker:
Ya i kind pissed. I passed up on the 460ti for the exact problem now 400$ card does. Imo this COIL/CHOKE Buzzing screaming shrieking whining what ever you want to call it is unexpectable. If a psu can send out 700watt and not make a single coil noise then there is no reason a gpu cant.
