Hi All!

I have a 3090 (MSI GAMING X TRIO) that been sitting in storage for a bit and have put it into a new PC.

When under a graphically intensive load, there is a very loud buzzing, almost sizzling sound that comes from the GPU. Starts off low when opening a game, but gets loud when in game.

Does this sound like coil whine or something more sinister? I’ve attached a sound recording, you will need to turn up volume to hear it.

    Are your games running at uncapped framerates and reaching above 400 fps? The more FPS you’re getting the more stress being put on the GPU.
