In your case, it seems that investing in some case-specific support bracket for $10 would have prevented all issues, so I'm unsure why you propose vendor switching as the solution.
After experiencing coil whining with one game and loud fans after extended perios of full load on the system (CPU+GPU), I switched to an aftermarket all-in one liquid cooling system, like Alphacool Eiswolf. I just think that the standard 3 fans blowing air onto the GPU kill most useful airflow in every PC case and with every vendor that uses this style.
- whalesalad 3y agoI've had issues on many cards, this was just one example. Every GPU I have ever had, particularly AMD, have been noisy cards. I have hyperacusis and can hear a butterfly fart a block away, so silence is paramount to me. I don't even allow deep sleep states on my Intel processors because I can hear it. Modern motherboards are beginning to include "acoustic adaptations" to try and fix, but they rarely work in my experience.
- vladvasiliu 3y agoWhat helped me with the fan noise for extended periods of CPU + GPU load was moving the GPU one PCIE port over. Initially, the GPU was very close to the CPU's heatsink (millimeters away). I know this isn't always possible with newer CPUs which tend to be stingy with PCIE lanes, but in my case, I have a boatload of them, so I could do it with no issue.
