I have two problems with my R9 290x. So three months in to using it a coil whine started (a buzzing noise when gaming) after a thunderstorm. I eventually RMA'd it and when I got it back it still had a coil whine. I asked the guys at XFX and they said that it may be my power supply because of low wattage so I upgraded it and it still persisted so I am thinking it may be that my motherboard is damaged. Second I have a high heat problem with my GPU, it gets up to 90+ when watching you tube but my fans don't change speeds. I am forced to use MSI Afterburner but I am not sure why this is happening. Does anyone know a solution to this? Has this ever happened to you guys?

I had a coil whine with Asus 290x after BSOD i just ran CCleaner to clean registry..then Advanced system care that found 2 windows 8.1 updates so i restarted pc they installed and then it stopped.and about that Fans does not change the speeds could be that the drivers got installed wrong it happens sometimes..new ones came it yesterday try them out http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop?os=Window... Im playing watch dogs last days and the max temp i got was 71C but its always on like 65-68C i also have a fan graph in msi afterburner that i needed to use because of dead rising 3 super bad optimalization so here it is : http://gyazo.com/8bbcfa4503046b00ed25f7bf9fa254f9

Well the guy on youtube may have better case with better cooling im playing Shadow of mordor now on my asus 290x and the max temp i got was 70C but mostly it is on 65-68C the Temps changed since i switched the intel stock cpu cooler for XIGMATEK Dark knight i have corsair 300r With 1 140MM noctua fan on front 1 120mm on back and 1 on cooler all are noctuas..it can be that you just have bad airflow in case the hawaii core is pretty hot so...but its good to keep it under 80C with fan control..im running stock fan settings.

Its honestly one of the most annoying noises I've heard and most of the time I have one ear with headphones and the other without.I cant hear a card till like 45% fan speed so..the most noise is making the fan on the back of the case cuz i have holes on the upper part of the case so theres no sound isolation so i hear everything but ive been running the card on like 60% fan speed and it was destroying my brain.

I'm now kind of forced to run the fans at 60% due to the heat rise and without afterburner my fan speeds will not go up even in uber mode. At idle the fans are at 20% but at gaming loads the fans only speed up to about 24% which is really what my main problem is. I'm sure that it is normal for my GPU to get that hot because the fans won't speed up. I was also thinking of water cooling my system soon so it won't be a problem as well as changing my motherboard but I am looking for a solution to this right now so I don't have to worry anymore.

Don't worry about the heat problem anymore because I believe that it is the cooler that was causing this as for the coil whine still needs to be fixed.You can always go with http://www.nzxt.com/product/detail/138-kraken-g10-gpu-b... and some great water cooling like http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Series-Edition-Liquid-CW-...
