Question about ASUS TUF RTX 5080 GAMING OC
Is the "coil beeping / resonance phenomenon" mentioned by some here covered by warranty or goodwill? For a product in this price range, I would honestly expect something like this not to happen - especially when you pay around 200 CHF extra for the ASUS TUF variant. My system with an RTX 3060 is currently practically inaudible; a rattling or whistling noise from the new card would be very disappointing.
With high-end graphics cards, very high currents flow through the coils of the voltage converters. This results in microscopically small vibrations, which can become noticeable as an audible noise. This coil whine is not a defect, but a normal physical behaviour of the components under high load. Board partners try to reduce this with a few design tricks, but this phenomenon cannot be completely avoided as it is a fundamental effect of the high electromagnetic load and can occur to varying degrees depending on the card and system.
