And it didn't when new, it's a warranty issue. Make the call to see how to exchange it.
Hello guys,
First I would just like to say that I am French, so English is not my mother tongue, meaning that I may make a few mistakes while writing this topic, sorry for that
.
I bought a MSI GTX 1080 Ti 2 weeks ago and I have noticed today (I am pretty sure it did not do it before) that it starts to sizzle (not sure with that word though... some kind of bzzzzzz) whenever I play.
I can say FOR SURE that it has nothing to do with the fans because it starts even before the fans start working.
Also, and here comes the funny part, I made the test with Skyrim+mods in 2560*1440 and it then starts to sizzle but WHENEVER I PAUSE THE GAME, IT STOPS.
So it is really like I pause, unpause, pause, and so on... and the graphic card really sizzles, and then not, and again, and so on...
So that is an electronic sound for sure. I have thought of coil whining but I have heard it on YT and it is completely different, being some sort of shrill music... My sound is way lower and almost uninterrupted.
Any idea?
Thanking you in advance and i wish you a good day from France ! ![]()
