Problem with 1080 Ti
Problem with 1080 Ti
I recently bought the ASUS STRIX 1080 TI for my system. I've been fiddling with overclocking it with EVGA Precision. Since I've been toying around with it, (during intital tests, I tried 250 on the core clock, but pulled it down to 210 for further testing right after), its developed coil whine, which it didn't have to start with.
And I think it's performance is dropping as well. My Firestrike score went up with the overclocks and Unigen Heaven went down by almost one thousand points. I've replicated the circumstances of the original bench test, it just dropped even further.
I've tried restarting, but I haven't yet tested doing a full shutdown and reboot. If anyone has any suggestions of fixes, or if I should just try to return it.

My build. In case there is something there that is relavent.
If any advice could be offered, I'd appreciate it.
coil whine will occur no matter whether you overclock certain GPUs, you might return it for a different model, but who can say it won’t happen with the latest ones. coil whine is something we all encounter at some point. still, I’d send it back to see if it resolves the issue, though i think it’s normal and unavoidable.

Coil whine is quite typical for these cards, so unless it's extremely problematic, I wouldn't bother returning it. The replacement should likely have the same problem. Pushing the system to higher speeds, boosting voltage, or raising power limits often makes the whine more noticeable under load, which might explain why you didn't hear it at first.
