My first 5870, Gigabyte 1gb one, had coil whine, (also crashed a lot) my new Sapphire 2gb Vapor-X 5870, has a even louder coil whine (no crashes though)
What I find odd, is it only seems to do it in loading menus of games or when starting a game...it is VERY loud when it does it too, you can easily hear it 5-10+ feet away from the computer, as long as it's only going to do it when it's loading..that's fine..I'm just curious as to if some games are going to make it do it the WHOLE time which would be unbearable, it's literally louder than the fan at 100%
Any reason as to why these 5870's have this loud whine? I've tried two different makers, completely differently designed board, and I get the same whine (though this time louder)
Is there a fix to it, or should I just deal with it? Also, I heard a fix was vsync, however it does not fix this for me, thanks in advance!
