I turned all the fans off and still no whine. Here's the best part though, last night, I was gaming with my fans turned low and using speakers (usually I game with headphones due to the coil-whine) and I realized there wasn't any coil whine anymore. Pkg of 24 - Black SBR Rubber Push-in Grommet - Inner Diameter 1/8", Outer Diameter 11/32", Fits Panel Hole 1/4", Fits Panel Thickness 1/16": : Industrial & Scientific Sure enough, all the buzzing has stopped! My theory was that the frequency from the vibrations of these coils was being transferred through the metal case / PCI-E brackets to the sound card so I bought some rubber grommets to isolate the GPU and the sound card from each other (see below for the link to the grommets I used). Later I learned that coil-whine was caused by vibrations of the electromagnetic coils on the GPU. It appeared to me that the buzzing was coming from a high frequency vibration of the 3.5mm jack. Everywhere I read said it was from EMI interference but two observations I figured it was something else: 1: when I held the 3.5mm jack with a little pressure, the buzzing was reduced or was eliminated and 2: when I was plugging the jack into the sound card, just touching the jack to the 3.5mm port caused the buzzing. I decided to try another benchmark program, Furmark.Background, I was looking to fix the buzzing in my Soundcard which was associated with GPU coil-whine (RTX 3090). What could be the problem here? It seems like more of a software issue to me. My card works perfectly fine running DX9/11 software (Crysis 3, DmC, etc) with no problem. I've tried running the program under my normal, moderate OC (1050MHz core 1250MHz memory clock 0% power adjust) as well as stock settings (1000MHz 1250MHz 0%) to no avail.

"MSI Kombustor - Burn-in test and benchmarking utility has stopped working" and proceeds to close the program. Right after I press the 'run stress test' button, a windows error pops up that says: Whenever I try and run any sort of stress test/benchmark, the program seems to fail to initialize the 3D APIs without error. So, I don't know if I'm doing something naive or if I really am experiencing an odd issue.Īnywhoo, I cannot run MSI Kombustor. For most of my enthusiast career I've used Nvidia based cards. I just recently upgraded to a Gigabyte 'Windforce' 7950 3GB GPU a couple days ago.
