Hi guys, I need your expertise and ideas please: I built a new computer recently (Intel Core i7-12700K, MSI Z690 Carbon motherboard, BeQuiet Dark Power 12 850W PSU, Kingston Fury Beast 32GB DDR5 RAM, ASUS ROG Strix Geforce RTX 2060) and had massive GPU coil whine when playing games right from...

But would such a thing like dirty power not affect every other computer in our house as well? I mean, I had no issues with my old computer (who stood at the exact same place where the new one is standing now), and my wife's computer (standing in the room next door) doesn't have any issues as...

I got my hands on another mainboard (MSI Carbon Z690) and replaced the ASUS with the MSI, but the coil whine is still there. So, I can confirm that the motherboard was not the issue. I am really running of out ideas now, since I already switched the motherboard, the GPU, and the PSU. The only...

I changed the motherboard (replaced the ASUS ROG Strix with an MSI Carbon Z690) and the coil whine is still there... I could swear it's coming from the motherboard's VRM, but it's really hard to say. Could also be the GPU... I am really running out of ideas now. I switched literally everything...

Thanks for the advice, but no, I didn't do that. To be honest, I don't know much about overclocking and how to set perfect voltages, frequencies etc. So I would have to familiarize myself with this topic much more before I could confidently change any frequencies in the BIOS or know what a VRM...

Hi guys. I am struggling with my new computer for quite a while now because that thing had significant coil whine right from the start. Because all components were new and I didn't have easy access to replacements, it took me quite a while to figure out the exact source of the issue. I first...

Quick update: It seems that the coil whine is actually not coming from the GPU but rather from the motherboard. I was able to borrow a graphics card (GeForce RTX 3080) from a friend, and I noticed that the whining is still there, even with the new graphics card. This also explains why my card...

Thanks for the suggestion. I followed it and reduced the FPS in the game where the coil whine is worst from 144 to 60 (and also to 30). The coil whine is almost completely gone at 30 FPS, significantly reduced at 60 FPS, and very loud at 144 FPS. So that means it's very much FPS related. I was...

Thanks for the hint. This could very well be the case here with my CPU being so much better than my GPU. And indeed - the coil whine is worse in very old games where I have very high FPS. So that means that I probably have to buy a new graphics card now to match my CPU ^^

I have recently bought some new components for my computer, including a new motherboard (ASUS ROG Strix Z690-F Gaming), CPU (Intel Core i7-12700K) and PSU (Seasonic PRIME TX-1000). However, I kept my old graphics card (ASUS ROG Strix GeForce RTX 2060). I never really had any coil whine on my...

Thanks for mentioning that, but yes, I used the rubber connectors. Unfortunately, they didn't make any difference. I really think that something in the case was slightly loose - probably a design flaw - which caused it to vibrate and to produce this annoying noise. Fractal's support had the...

Thank you very much for testing this and for your feedback! I really appreciate that! Interestingly, I also didn't have this issue when the fans were running on full speed. It only occurred in a specific RPM range. I even captured it on video and also had a different thread here on the forum...

Thanks a lot for the recommendations. It seems that you are quite happy with your Fractal cases. I could certainly try to improve the temperatures by using more fans. @dwd999: May I ask how/where you placed all these fans? Did you put 3 in the front, 3 in the top (with the open top panel), 2...

Thanks for the suggestions! I will definitely look into the brands you mentioned! Would be much easier if each brand would not sell so many different cases - very hard to choose the right one :unsure: I don't have a preferred site of purchase to be honest. I mostly buy my stuff on Amazon ^^...

They are Noctua NF-A14 PWM chromax fans. The motherboard is an ASUS ROG Strix Z690-E. But I talked to Fractal's support and they confirmed that this noise is not normal. They advised to send the case back to the reseller, what I did today. Now I am waiting for a new case (which can...
