[SOLVED] Coil Whine on multiple B550 AORUS Elite Motherboards - Help

[Rogurzz]

I have tried multiple B550 AORUS Elite motherboards and I still get coil whine on them despite changing it.

My specs are:

• Ryzen 5 3600
• GIGABYTE B550 AORUS ELITE
• ASUS STRIX GTX 1070 8GB
• Corsair RMx 650W PSU

I have tested the system with a different PSU which is an EVGA SuperNOVA GS 550W Gold and the problem still persists.

I am out of ideas. Should I worry about it?

That board has no fan thus cannot cause cool whine.

Surely the VRMs have coil whine?

No they should not.

Coil whine is typically due to a fan going bad or of cheaper quality.

You sure it's the board and not the video card?
A fan has nothing to do with it.

I noticed my GPU whines under load, but its not the same noise at idle.

Do you think my GPU could be messing with the power delivery on my motherboard?

I would not rule that out electronics can do funny things. I would get a empty cardboard roll from like paper towels put one end up to your ear and stick the other end inside the PC move it around till you find exactly where it's coming from.
