Odd Clicking/Vibrating Noise from 4070 Ti Super at Higher Fan Speeds


Recommended Posts

I'm experiencing an odd clicking or vibrating sound coming from my Gigabyte 4070 Ti Super when the fan speed reaches around 70%. I've recorded the noise, but you need to turn up the volume significantly to hear it. I've tested by stopping each fan individually with my finger, and the sound persists with all the fans. Could it be that the airflow is hitting something inside the GPU?

 

Yeah, fan whining. It happens. It's not like it's hurting your system. It's just annoying.

If you can get those fans off, you might be able to oil them. I'm not 100% sure if that is the answer. Someone else?

Ya not sure how easy it would to take the fans off. I think I have to remove the whole backplate to remove them which would be a huge pain. They are pretty dusty and I have only had the GPU now for 8 months now.

Yeah, like I said, I'm not sure. Just put your headset on, blast it,  and ignore the fan whining. :laugh:

Well, at least its not from your HDD. (If you have one)

Nah I dont have a HDD. I'm just hoping that it does not mean my Fans in the GPU are dieing when I already when I only had it for 7 months.

Fans die all the time, no matter its age. There a way you can get just those fans RMAd? I think there is a way to detach them, but I've never had to take them off, soo..

Ya I could RMA it but then means I will be without a GPU for a few weeks. 

I looked up how to switch out the fans for new ones but for my GPU I would need to remove the whole backplate off which means having to re-paste it after. It seems like a big pain haha.

@MindovermasterAlso Im trying to set a good Fan curve for the GPU so I will only hit the higher fan speeds when im warmer.

 

Makles perfect sense :)

It isn't really that hard to remove the shell, just time consuming.

Get a can of compressed air and blow out all the dust on the card (as best as possible).

It might not help, but it's worth a shot.

@Mindovermaster Do you think that is a good fan curve I post above?

Yeah, that looks good :)

Hello,

Given that the card is still in warranty, I would recommend going the RMA route.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing, but I’d be without a PC for a few weeks, and since I work from home and don’t have a backup GPU, that wouldn’t be ideal.

Also, I noticed something new while playing Subnautica today. Could this be coil whine from the GPU?

The sound comes and goes, while the other constant noise you hear is from my pump. I even stopped all the fans, and the sound was still there.

 

Hello,

It sounds like disassembling the video card to get at the fans is non-trivial, and there are several risks involved, including (1) permanent damage to the card; and (2) lubing the fans may not improve the noise and/or even make things worse.

Perhaps check with Gigabyte to see if there is an expedited RMA process available where they can cross-ship you a replacement card?  Another possibility might be to get an inexpensive card to use just so the PC has basic graphics functionality while you wait for the replacement to arrive.  You might not be able to run all of your favorite games on it at the resolution you like, but you would otherwise be able to use the PC for productivity tasks and perhaps some basic gaming.

So going from what I said before yes it 100% is Coil Whine that im hearing but I noticed it only happens when my GPU is pushed up to around 144+ Frames. If I cap all my  Games to 60 Frames the Coil Whine is Pretty much Gone and it also help keep the GPU and lot cooler which means I wont have to run the Fans as hard. I noticed the Coil Whine Really starts up once the CPU Voltage hits over 1.1 Volts.

    • Bluesky COO warns social media regulations could destroy competition from small startups by Paul Hill Fears that increasing government control of social media risks regulatory capture by the biggest social media firms were raised again recently. Bluesky’s chief operating officer said in an interview that social media bans for children and tighter regulations for social media firms risk creating a world where there are only a few social media platforms run by companies with the deepest pockets. Regulations on social media firms have been very lax since they appeared for mainstream users in the 2000’s. This gave Meta, Snapchat, and Google time to build up their user bases and get entrenched, with Meta being the most successful. Now that Meta has succeeded, it has been attempting regulatory capture. By pushing for more regulations of social media, Meta hopes to make it more difficult for rivals to challenge it. For its part, it doesn’t need to worry about the cost of regulation because it has a lot of money to spend, whereas startups do not. Speaking to CNBC, Rose Wang, Bluesky’s chief operating officer, said: “I support the protection and the safety of youth, the question that we have then is at what cost, because essentially what I’m scared of is in the long term, we’re headed to a world where there’s about three to five platforms, and extreme heavy regulation of those platforms, and basically the whole compliance teams of these platforms are 10 times the size of our entire team. So, basically, we’re living in a world where it’s almost impossible for smaller entrants to come in and build healthier spaces. These platforms have led to a place where the bottom line is the thing that drives what they do... so I understand why governments have to step in and regulate, because the platforms have done nothing right.” She said that while she is not against regulation, there needs to be more channels between the small to mid-sized players and regulators to help protect them. She says that big tech players, on the other hand, “who we know are circumventing regulation,” need to be regulated. Essentially, the Bluesky position is one of nuance, rather than absolutes. While Bluesky’s proposal may preserve competition in the social media space, it still doesn’t address the massive privacy implications these age verification measures introduce, such as handing over sensitive identity documents to access age-gated content.
