A Redditor would have encountered a problem of “coil moan” with the GeForce RTX 5090 of NVIDIA, which raises concerns about the QC checks of Team Green.
Redditor experiences “strong noises” with their Asus Tuf GeForce RTX 5090, also indicating a problem of moving the coil
Nvidia’s flagship RTX Blackwell GPU does not have a good time on the market with regard to after-sales performance, since the model has known several problems, ranging from MIssing Ropsto what seems to be a lack of quality control. In a Reddit wireThe Muedmobile user3977 mentions an Asus Tuf GeForce RTX 5090 experimenting with what seems to be a problem of “spray of the coil”, and he understood it after the GPU does strong noises during the race. After examining the unit, he discovered a damaged capacitor, which is quite rare for such a GPU.

The reason why such an incident is shocking is that physical damage while the GPU works is quite difficult to occur, especially for a new model like the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090. The fact that a capitator has been damaged is uncertain for the moment, but the images certainly indicate that something is wrong with unity. But, the interesting part is that the GPU works well, without any problem outside the strong noise. If it was a capacitor fault, there is a good chance that the GPU will see a kind of disturbance under the charge, so the situation is not clear for the moment.
This raises a huge concern for current consumers of the GeForce RTX 5090, given that if there are problems with the QC process, it is certain that more units are starting to see problems similar in the longer term. For the moment, the affected user has sent a RMA request, and we will probably learn more about the problem after the process.
