Hey Everyone! Its been a long time since I have done something like this. I built my first PC a long time ago and I think I went through GPUs like an (I have bad memory) R9 270X to a Nvidia 1060 then 1070 and now a 2070 Super FE!
In the past, I always used MSI Afterburner and had a simple process down like everyone else. I would OC, find the limits, id personally pull it back a bit and undervolt (started undervolting on my 1060 and 1070) as my parents would keep the house too warm.
With my new to me 2070 Super FE, I am running into some odd issues I haven’t before.
To preface, here are my specs and a recent run:

I got too excited and probably hit the ground running in MSI and OCed it a bit and feel like its not as stable as what I am used to in terms of head room(?). I got lazy and used Kombustor and just had that on my main screen full screen windowed and my MSI on my 2nd monitor. But to list my issues here they are!
1. I cannot see the voltage under monitoring nor do I have the ability to change it. I have the two checkmarks enabled, and even tried playing with third party, kernel mode, etc. I have re-installed three times. Newest versions all 3 times. I was previously on the last stable version.
2. I am experiencing some sort of high pitch sound, I have not experienced this before but I am guessing its coil whine? Reading up on it, I guess I just have to deal with it? Might be a per unit thing or just there but differing degrees to every model?
3. Since I am not able to monitor the voltage, I tried messing with the curve like doing -300 on the core clock and then raising my 950mv\~ mark to stock clocks. Does this still work if I can’t see or monitor the voltage? Since I can’t monitor it, of course I can’t check for it 🙁
4. I have never experienced this before, but I do have a Rosewill 650W Gold Plus Fully Modular PSU and I believe it is enough juice as the GPU suggests 550W, but my APC Backup UPS 650 started beeping like once every second with a green and red light flashing while it was on Kombustor and with an OC (testing). While gaming, I pulled off all my OCs (but kept my temp limit and power limit increases) and I never heard it again. Is this a bad battery or UPS (I haven’t troubleshooted yet as I am at work now as of writing this all out) or PSU?
Thanks so much in advance! I tried to Google many things but I figured some friendly experts could help me out! Always appreciate the community and look forward to hearing some fellow owner stories!
