Hi all,
As per the subject, I was mucking around seeing what overclocks i could get on my 1 week old GTX 1070 Gigabyte G1 Gaming card. I had a pretty stable overclock at around +130 on the core and +800 on the memory. I ended up getting a couple of artefacts so decided to downclock it a little. All of a sudden when i started up 3DMark again to run a stress test i heard the aweful sound of coil whine which was definitely not present before.
Im not 100% sure if it is coming from the GPU or the PSU but as far as i am aware it is very likely the GPU. Ive opened up the case and stuck my head in to have a listen but its hard to distinguish exactly which one it is.
I didnt go crazy with the overclocks or anything and only put the clocks up in small amounts (15mhz at a time). I didnt realise this was a possible outcome otherwise i never would have touched the clocks to be honest because im pretty devastated at the moment.
Im just looking for some information on how i should proceed.
Is there anything i can do to attempt to fix the coil whine?
Should i try and RMA the card and get it replaced? Can they tell i have been playing around overclocking the card and then reject the claim?
