Yeah, it's the one like Retro..I listened to that kingpin man and wtf is that? You would think on 2k+ cards they would do a better job..wtf EVGA.
The only thing keeping me from RMAing it is crazy good silicon. Here are my undervolt profiles:
1905 @ 843
1965 @ 887
2010 @ 931
I had two 3080's that COuldn't even do 1920 @ 900 lol.
Do you think it MIGHT be my PSU even though the other 2 3080's are inaudible? The fact that it still whines in AC Valhalla at like 150W power draw at 30fps tells me it HAS to be the GPU right?
They all whine to a point the 3090 FE cards, the whine you have is normal when under stress, it's when it sounds really loud and screaches high pitch. Yours is doing the typical cricket sound which is normal.
Anyone telling you their 3090 FE does not whine needs to check their ears, we had over 28+ of them at work in pairs with Nvlink/SLI and they all whined when under normal stress and the ones we sent back whined so bad they could be heard other side of the office and we were told it's normal but we got them changed and some came back worse and we just got them replaced with AIB blower types and other AIB cards for the ones that did it bad and the rest we ebayed because we tried to hot glue the inductors (the coils) to stop the whine and some got better others made no difference.
Don't RMA yours or you will end up with one worse, yours we would have kept.
The KingPin is a bad joke from EVGA, a lot of people are having that issue with their cards this time round and all the strange failures they keep having. Check the EVGA forums.. every other thread is a dead card or some other problems.
