    Question PC makes silent whistling sound every few seconds

    Another update: I spoke too early. I opened up my PC again and this time took the PSU out, but connected all the components to it and turned the PC on. The sound is definitely coming out of the PSU. It's even more quiet outside of the case, so I guess the sound resonates through the case so...

    Question PC makes silent whistling sound every few seconds

    UPDATE: I believe the sound disappears when the PC is under load (for example playing a game like Cyberpunk 2077). I'm not sure if it disappears for real, or if the sounds of the fans cover it up, but, considering the nature of the sound, I feel like it would still be heard through the sound of...

    Question PC makes silent whistling sound every few seconds

    I didn't have time to test the suggestions above sooner, but I did today. I disconnected the PSU and turned it on using a paper clip jumper. It did not make any weird sounds. After that, I disconnected all components from my PC case, gave them a good old clean and used the opportunity to replace...

    Question PC makes silent whistling sound every few seconds

    Thanks for the suggestion! It's such a quiet sound, but really driving me crazy at night. I will test it out over the weekend.

    Question PC makes silent whistling sound every few seconds

    My CPU does not have integrated graphics. Also, I only use SSDs, can they make sounds like this?

    Yeah, it appears to be periodic, every 6 seconds or so.

    Question PC makes silent whistling sound every few seconds

    I just checked the PSU fan as well. It appears to be working fine. It runs once the PC is turned on and then stops running. The fan on my PSU is supposed to work only when the load is higher than 40%, so it's usually idle.

    Question PC makes silent whistling sound every few seconds

    Thanks for replying! The A4 paper thing is really smart, I'll try that to probe the source. As for my BIOS version, I'm using the latest version available: 7C02v3H (2023-07-10). PS: I have 3 case fans, 2 cpu fans, 2 gpu fans and the fan on the PSU. The last one is the only one I can't see since...

    Question PC makes silent whistling sound every few seconds

    Hi everyone! I've had my PC for a few years now and I did not have any major issues with it. Today I noticed a quiet whistling sound that lasts around a second and repeats every 6 or so seconds. The sound is really quiet, but since I made a quiet build, it's annoying when the PC is under low...

    Question Monitor Refresh Rate reverts to maximum when playing Ryujinx in fullscreen ?

    Hi! I am experiencing an issue with the refresh rate when running Ryujinx in fullscreen. I have a 144Hz LG monitor, but since emulating in Ryujinx works smoothest with 60Hz, I change the refresh rate of my monitor before I play. The problem is, as soon as I run Ryujinx in fullscreen, the...

    Question Sudden Ping Spikes and Packet Loss for 3 months now

    Thank you for replying! I've already tried testing with one device ln the network at a time and the results are the same. I also don't use a separate modem. I did consider that someone in the neighborhood is maybe hogging the connection, since the infrastructure is old here, it has not been...

    Question Sudden Ping Spikes and Packet Loss for 3 months now

    Hi! I'm testing via CMD. Whatever I ping, the result is pretty much the same. I also tried using WinMTR. Based on your comment, it would appear that the issue is with the cabling coming to my house. That said, what could have happened there? The ISP does not want to do anything about it since...

    Question Sudden Ping Spikes and Packet Loss for 3 months now

    Hello! I've been using the same ISP for 15+ years and never had issues with network stability. My download and upload speeds are quite pathetic (12/0.3) but I've never had issues with ping and packet loss. 3 months ago, I started having those issues. When playing any online game, my ping will...
