PC Upgrade (AMD Only)

[lexluthermiester]

but coils are audible even with 120W TGP or sometimes when you move a mouse cursor in 2D.

I've not once seen that. In fact, coil whine is something I have researched extensively. Recent generations of Radeon cards have been very silent.

If you still insist on going with ASrock, then I wish you the best of luck in terms of coil whine, may you get much better coils than me.

Please stop. The chances with coil whine on AsRock cards are no different than ANY other manufacturer.

I can make few recordings for you, if you want.

I spend a good amount of time finding out about experience of other RX 7800 XT owners.
Found that mostly affected GPUs were ASrock, ASUS TUF series, and even Sapphire Nitro+ series.
XFX and Sapphire Pulse/Pure series were among the least affected. That's what I found out.

ASrock Phantom Gaming RX 7800 XT is my 8th card from ATi/AMD and without doubt it's the worst one.
Among those 8 cards, 5 were Sapphire, 1 was Gigabyte and 1 was PowerColor.

When I ever first heard of coil whine, I thought that people are just being too sensitive, they don't use headphones ...
After some years, I got mine 7800 XT and I was able to hear buzzing sounds in all its glory even when gaming with headphones. That sucks.

Look, this is my personal experience and I made my previous post based on that and what I found on the internet (experience of other users).

My experience is both personal and professional, based on real world, hands on interactions with many, many examples.

AsRock quality is top-notch and, as was mentioned previously, the chances of getting a card with coil whine is minimal.

Yes, it will.

That depends greatly on the game and with more games using more cores in the future, the extra two does currently make a difference(Starfield or Hogwarts anyone?) and will become more important. An 8core upgrade from a 6core may not seem like much but it is important. Additionally, the X3D part they have chosen is even more of a boost to performance and offering future headroom.

You didn't read the OP did you. They are AMD only. So the suggested 7800XT is the GPU to go for.


Hell yeah man, solid upgrade choices!

Just got my previous monitor from another simpler build I have. It is a Multilaser Warrior 24" Curved KAI MN101 Model (up to 144Hz/HDMI; up to 165Hz/DP). Using it again for the native 1920x1080p resolution. Never gave me any trouble. The image is good. I think I will get more stable performance at higher settings with it with the new CPU and GPU (already ordered these).

Well... The truth is... Never got really used to the ultrawide screen... Can't say that I did not try it... I think I will be better getting back to 16:9 aspect ratio and native 1920x1080p resolution. It'll be great!

Sapphire Nitro/Toxic are the best but Im hearing really good stuff about XFX.

Well, then I wasn't lucky enough and I got a whiny GPU. I'm not saying that I won't give ASrock another chance, but when RX8000 comes, I'm ditching this card for good, that's for sure.

Anyway, coil whine should be tested by QA. There should be a sound limit for it.
A fact, that some level of coil whine is present on every card and it is considered normal, does not mean, that there should exist such high variance of whine intensity between cards.

what about the 5900X on 229€? i'm thinking about upgrading from the 3700x. thanks

That's a good upgrade and not a bad price.

That happens. There's a whole thread about fixing coil whine here on TPU. No manufacturer is immune as a general rule.

Exactly
I had an MSI R9 390X Gaming X for 2-3 years and was whining every time on games. Some times more than others (with fluctuation of power I guess)
That card was top on MSI's line.
My 5700XT was also MSI Gaming X, no coil whine.

I've seen cases where a user can have premium hardware parts (GPU, board and PSU) and have coil whine.
Switch one of these (especially PSU) to a different model and whining goes away.

What I'm saying is sometimes some parts "dont like" each other and coil whine can be produced.
Whining aside they can be functioning perfect and performing as expected
Its just one of "those" matters...

Find the coil whine guide, some buzz, some chirp, some squeak, some might even click, fix it via the guide on tpu.

My gpu does and I just turn speakers up. It's physics, I just havent tried any mitigations and it really doesnt bother me, some people are just whiners
