change psu to stop coil whining?

[yuky]

I've recently bought a gigabyte gtx 760. And I've been experiencing CW when playing intense games or having high fps. I'm wondering if it can be the cause by my psu. I have the enermax naxn 500w. If anyone could help it'll be great

If you're getting coil whine from your PSU the only real solution is to replace the PSU - is it in warranty?

Alternatively ou might try a PSU that is designed to be silent - Corsair RM series for example

Hi
You need to be certain where the whine is coming from before you change anything.
GPUs can produce whine as well.

As other said, try listening to your card and psu when the coil whine happen..

its the gpu for sure. And does all gpu have coil whining?

only can by replacing the card with new one, but it's also no guaranty that u get the one that doesn't whine...
(looks like coil whine is acceptable according GPU standard)

The other thing u can do is increase the video/graphic quality..
because coil whine usually only happen in very high fps (100+), so by giving it more work and bring the fps down could helps..

I haven't try applying v-syncs helps or not since i never tried (I live in noisy environment)
