coil whine

So, I built my PC like 3 years ago and for all this time I had coil whine which I was managing to more or less reduce in games via tweaking graphics settings, but I hit a wall with newly-released Spacemarine 2 and I'm getting noticeable noise which does not go away no matter what I do, except...

Hi. I recently bought a Corsair RM850X Shift from Amazon and installed it. I began noticing the coil whine. The coil whine is present at all times, even on games and on idle. View: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/EKc6FRZ8a2M View: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/7nzkxhh8NWw View...

I thought it was coil whine from my GPU so i took it out in preparation for returning it but then i realized the sound isnt coming from the GPU at all but instead behind the CPU. Basically the question is, is this normal? Is it motherboard or a failing (old) power supply? I dont think i ever...

Hello all, I am a newbie here. I have built a desktop. I realized the PC makes a squeaky/scratching sound. It's like someone is grinding his teeth. The funny thing is I had a laptop Asus Zenbook UX490, which was making the same sound. I have uploaded a short video of this sound on YouTube...

The other day i bought a used PowerColor Red Devil RX 6800 XT. When playing games, especially at high frame rates and in game menus i hear a coil wine coming from my GPU and it's really annoying. I tried lowering the voltage to 1060mV and capping the frame rate to 140fps (bellow my monitor...

My MSI A750GL (which is tier A speculative) have some noise when the PSU is plugged into the wall, regardless of whether or not the PSU switch is on or off. This noise is constant, and last forever as far as I can tell. It does not disappear after awhile. It only disappears when the psu is...

Hello everyone (English is not my first language), Long story short - I'm facing that kind of a problem: While gaming (mostly demanding AAA titles) there is an annoying sound coming out from my speakers + multiple random freezes occuring at the same time. My PC specs: Motherboard: MSI B450...

My computer has been perfect. The last component I added was my x52 kraken AIO. And that was back in December. Nothing was wrong. And then I decided to download MK1 because I've been really wanting to play it. It starting making an ear piercing sound. I thought it was coil whine but everyone I...

Hi everyone, I have a fairly new Pc and it worked just fine until a couple days ago. Here are the specs: * Gigabyte B760 DS3H DDR4, bios version F5 (<- the troublesome part) * Intel Core i7-13700 * GeForce RTX 3060 12 GB * BeQuiet PurePower 12M 850W * G-Skill D4 32GB 4400-10 TZ Ripjaws V K2...

I have recently built my first pc and while everything runs perfectly fine, I think I am dealing with a grounding error. I was getting massive coil whine from my RTX 3060ti when playing games at high framerates. It was loud enough to be hearable even with my fans at full blast. I thought it was...

When I playing games and my GIGABYTE 3060 ti is at 100% load or near it has a strong coil whine. Thats ok, I don't mind. But recently my friends say they can hear an annoying buzzing while we are playing games. And yes, this is true, if I record a video I can hear it too. I link the recording so...

Recently I've encountered an issue with my laptop: annoying coil whine just suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and a day or two after that an insane power throttling started happening. Absolutely positive that the issue is not connected to audio speakers and is not thermal throttling. The only...

Thread title: My PSU coil whine that started a couple days ago has kept a constant semi-loud noise for sometime whilst I wait for my replacement, should I still use Title pretty much, its a Corsair CX550F RGB, 80 PLUS Bronze (White). 1 and 1/2 years old. As expected only happens when the PSU...

Recently installed an Asus Dual AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT, replacing my previous GTX 1660 Ti Mini ITX OC. The GPU is connected to the PSU with a single cable. The primary issue is this sound: Loud noise It does this when playing the first game I've tested, namely Resident Evil 4 Remake. Should I...

Just installed my Corsair cx psu and Ive noticed There's an aggregious coil whine, I'm just wondering if it's worth returning as in hindsight I maybe should've got a more energy efficient and higher quality PSU :/ in these times where energy prices are so high (I'm in the UK) do you think I...

Hi! please answer my questions. So my Motherboard(Tuf gaming b560m-plus) produce coil whine. the noise come from the back side. when my pc idle its fully silent. on light load (like google chrome browsing) its high pitched noise. and when i gaming its low pitched buzzing. if my case fully...

So I had just my AMD Ryzen 5 3500X OEM replaced with a brand new Ryzen 7 5800X; on a Gigabyte X570 Aorus Ultra rev. 1.2 F30 with Windows 10 Enterprise 20H2 19042.746 x64. End everything seemed to be A-OK for 3 days But then I also have replaced G.SKILL Ripjaws V DDR4 DIMM 3600 Mhz CL16 16 GB...

New builder here, rx6650xt hellhound My GPU started making weird electric buzzing noises when idle, it's not coil whine that happens at high fps, this is kinda lower pitched. I should also mention that the GPU has a zero fan mode (not the sound of fans hitting anything because they're not...

Hello. I own an Aorus 2080 TI Xtreme. The GPU is 3 years old. There was some itchy / buzzing sound in the headphones when GPU is loaded in games. I found that the same sound comes from the GPU and only when the GPU is loaded. And the sound is heard only in the left earpiece. In rest mode, when...

Less than a month old all new pc build makes extremely loud high pitch noise. I assume it's coming from my gpu as it goes away when closing a game. However, lowering fps doesn't make it go away. Can someone confirm it's coil whine? From what I've seen, this seems quite a bit louder. Also, can...

Hi, im new here on tom's Hardware. I've come here to ask about a problem I have currently on my pc system. I built my rig using: Intel i5-12600K RTX 3070 Gigabyte Gaming OC 16Gb Kingston Fury 3200mhz Gigabyte Z690 Gaming PSU: MSI MPG A850GF and ever since I built it I've had an issue with the...

As the title says my GPU an Nvidia 3090 FE is making very loud, very rapid clicking noises sometimes when it is under load. It does not crash but the noise is extremely unpleasant and I want to know if there is a way to stop it or at least what's causing it. If not I may have to claim warranty...

Dear Gaming community! I just built a new pc, and unfortunately something happened that I am not very happy about: Coil whine (Or something like that) Videos: View: https://youtu.be/4_dOPq70E_0 and https://youtube.com/shorts/NY78fSTKmZ4 The noise around the CPU only occurs when the GPU is...

Dear reader, I have just recently replaced my old gtx 970 by a 2070 super, everything seemed great, until i fired up a game. When in game, i can hear a slight buzzing sound coming somewhere from my pc (I think from the middle). When I alt-tab out of the game, i do not hear the sound, but when I...

For a while now, I've had this strange static noise coming from my PC, I've avoided using it due to the sound. Today, I tried to diagnose it. Firstly, I cleaned it with compressed air, fans also. I thought it was my case fans but I unplugged each one separately and tested it to see if it was...

Hi forum, Several days ago my one of my CPU fan making noises like a whistling sound (coil sound ?!). So I tried to stop the fan using my finger and the noises stops. I decided to replace the fan, I got the new one, replace it, and the noises still there. I stop the new fan using my finger and...

Good day everyone! I need your help. My PSU is making weird noise only under heavy loads - when gpu wattage is up to 300w. It is like that from the day I bought it. I recorded it: Video (google disk) Is that coil whine? Or should I swap it asap? Everything works good, voltage is normal and...

Hey guys, I'm getting some clicking noise from GPU randomly (not constant) while idle. When I increase the fan speed to 60% or above it is gone or very rare. It is a HP Prebuilt and It has been just over a month getting the built and experiencing the issue for the past two weeks. When I...

Hi all, I'm hearing strange noises from my RTX 3060 I believe, at first I thought it might be coil whine but I couldn't confirm it. Changing fan speed doesn't seem to affect it either and it emits the winding, high pitched noise (last 6 seconds of the video below) every minute or so. What do...

Hi! I recently built this PC in November of last year and always noticed this buzzing sound. It never really bothered me as I thought it was just coil whine and only happened during intense games. Now it’s insanely loud and just idle, also tried to listen and doesn’t sound like it’s coming from...

Hello there! I am not quite sure since when this sound started but I am pretty certain that it wasn't always there. No matter if my PC is idling or under full load, there is almost always this constant chirping sound. Since my case (cm nr200p) consists of mostly mesh surfaces, this sound...

It happened after I changed 2 case fans yesterday. I thought it was the PSU, but I replaced it today, along with every cable from the PSU, and it still makes the noise. Also, when I am gaming, the pitch will sound different depending on what way my character is looking. Is this something I...

Hello, I had to replace two case fans today and when I started it back up everything was running fine. When I started up a game, a buzzing noise started coming EVGA 1000 G+ PSU. The noise instantly stops if I pause the game in Far Cry New Dawn, but instantly starts when I unpause. I did have to...

So recently I've noticed that some noise been coming off my PSU (Thermaltake Smart Series 80Plus White) with 13 Months of usage.The noise sounds like a coil whine but could also be the Fan bearing although the noise goes off when the computer goes into high load (Ex: Playing a game) and only...

So this has been occurring for a few days by now, and it would happen on/off for about 20 minutes interval. The noise is consistent and doesn't pitch up/down corresponding to what's on display which is something I've read in regards to coil whine from the GPU. So which part is it then? Got a...

Hey everyone, I think i did something really bad and it damaged my gpu. I struggled to remove it from the slot and it took awhile before I could actually push the lever on the pci slot. Now I got quite rough with it to the point my whole motherboard was bending(slightly). I then cleaned it with...

On my PC I can hear a very faint static noise that is tough to pinpoint where its coming from. It's almost like the noise you hear when you put a disc in a games console or hard drive trying to read data. A small "zzz-zz-zz" noise. I would post a video but its not audible through phone. Could...

My PC has been suffering from coil whine for some time, but it's very loud. I have tried multiple PSU's (2x System Power 9 600w, 1x RM650x 2018) which made no difference. Tried multiple GPU's (Palit 2060, Sapphire Pulse 5500 XT, MSI Gaming X 5500 XT), which all had different coil whine but...

Hello, Just built myself a new watercooled system in a Lian Li O11D XL case, AMD 5950X, Asus Crosshair VIII Hero MB, Asus Strix RTX3080 OC GPU, etc. And a Corsair HX850 Platinum PSU. Ever since the first power on, there has been a high pitch noise, which I can only attribute to being Coil...
