Hi guys,

I recently purchased an ASUS DUAL AMD Radeon RX 6600 card.

It is well recognized in Macos Ventura, and works, except for the parasitic noises called "Coil Whine" emitted by the card.
For the moment I have this phenomenon only with safari or chrome. When I launch a web page, and I scroll, my RX 6600 emits crackling (coil whine).

Have any of you ever encountered this problem?

I wonder if it's not a problem with the management of consumption between power supply and gpu
On some forums, there is talk of an incompatibility with the power supply?

I wonder if this coil whine can't be avoided with proper settings in config.plist?

I would like to know if people here are affected by this phenomenon, or not?

Thank you for your answers

I never noticed any coil whine with my ASRock 6600 XT.

Hi @pastrychef,

Thank you for your reply

Thank you for your answer. Can you please tell me what you have like Kexts, ssdt and settings in config.plist, for power management, and for gpu?

Thanks

I have 2 hacks with 2 RX 6600 XT, XFX QICK 308 and Gigabyte Eagle, and I don't have this drawback. Both cards are very quiet when fans are spinning.
I hear this type of noise (not too annoying) only when turning on the PC during the BIOS check and when the cards are under intense work and the temperature rises above 60-70º.

Hi @miliuco,

Thank you very much for your interesting answers. I must have missed something in my config.plist settings or in the contents of my EFI folder.

I thought at first that the card was faulty, but when I did some research on the web, it pointed me to a settings problem, rather than a faulty gpu.

I'll try to make changes by referring to your config. I'll keep you informed. Thanks

Link to my Z370-G build is below, in my signature. You can find my EFIs attached to post #1.

Thanks guys,

I made several changes, in my EFI folder, and in my config.plist, based on your posts and your configs: Kexts update (Lilu, AppleALC, WhateverGreen).
I still have the coil whine, but otherwise my config seems to work very well.
Some results with Geekbench, and Sensei. I do not know what you think about it?
I put my EFI attached

My thinking is that it's a hardware issue and EFI changes can't fix it.
