Question Coil whining in something

[Rock900]

Short story, i bought a new MB, switched to amd rather than intel, and now i got some "coil whining" which i simply call angering noisy sh**...

Most of the people say the GPU will cause such noises when playing games with high fps, and yeah it occurs when i play some older games on 300-1000fps, the thing is on intel's platform it didn't happen, same gpu, same ram, same PSU, same everything except the cpu obviously cause of the socket, and the MB.

I got another cpu, same one to test, and same issue, i tried to stress out the CPU in cinebench, both multicore and single core, to check if somehow it's still the CPU, but no noises.

Then i tried to swap the PCI slot on the mb, same issue, the GPU i had for 1 year and i never heard anything like this, so the criminal is obvious to me, it's the MB, aorus master specifically which i ordered few days ago..

I have no plans to play with such noises, especially that it have never happened ever before, not only that but the placeholders for screws are a bit crooked so when i screw to MB to the PC case, i had to spent a ton of time to screw them straight because they were tilting, and at least 1or2 are tilted a bit, i tried to remove them but as well it didn't help(That's on a side note, if i order a MB for that price, i want it go STRAIGHT to my case, not that clearly there's some 1-2mm gap and the wholes are on the side rather than in the center).

Playing high FPS in games is not an excuse, so the question is since people sometimes say these issues with this coil whining are specific to some component models, i was wondering if i should try to replace the MB for the same model, or swap it to some MSI or Asus, AND if perhaps it could be somehow the CPU, during gameplay the cpu load is from 10-20%, so not that much, but i guess since i did all that testing, and swapped for another one it's obvious that it shouldn't be the CPU.

which pcie gen were you using before?
is the bios up to date now?

which motherbiard and cpu did you use before?
which PSU are you using

if screws aren't fitting to your case in my experience it's the case's fault

It can't be the case fault, cause it's the same case i used with my intel system(ATX, i used as well aorus but for intel), with my older amd system(ATX), and it fitted well in both cases, so idk, i don't care much even, but the noise, i have no plans to deal with it. I would add that i tried to check with my ear close, where the noise is coming, but it doesn't sound like it's coming from the GPU, it's like in "the center", can't tell....

I was using PCIE ver. 5 in my intel CPU, in my older AMD for AM4, i think it was PCIE ver. 4, but maybe it was 5.

No, the bios is as it was before.

I don't remember which PSU, some bronze 80+ probably 750w, i used it before with my i9 13900k and there were no issues, the GPU i got rtx 4080, the i9 13900k should draw more power than the ryzen 9, that intel series as well as the 14'th they steal power , and they had some issues with power management which was causing blue screens, but that's another story, still no weird high pitch noises, that's the point.

try updating the bios

try updating the bios

Didn't help at all, there's 1 more update which i can try, but i doubt it will help. I tried furmark and the same thing, except it's not as loud... Not sure why a MB would do this, but i already did the research and yea, MB can be the cause especially that all other parts are older and no such thing occurred.

It's the GPU.... God damn this crap, i remember some noises, i thought it was the pump from the new liquid cooler i got(it was for intel sys, now i moved it to the new amd one), but i didn't rly play that much games on that intel where i get that many fps, i was playing more on the older amd system and now switched, when i get like 400-700fps it's not as obvious and it could be mistaken for HDD work cause i got 3 in total before and some were making noises and vibrations, and next thing, the intel system is noisy and loud as hell, it causes the cooler to do much more noise, even the liquid ones...


The noise mixed up as well the fans and the HDD's, i didn't notice it, it got mixed into a soup of noise, i didn't bother cause that how it was... But now i swapped my HDD's for new big nvme, i got the new amd 9950x which if configured well is quiet on the cooling system i have, even on 100% load on all cores, and there you go... That pitch noise now got noticeable, i will try undervolting later, and cap a bit of fps to 700 reduces a bit the problem...


I was more bothered that perhaps the MB i ordered was faulty or something, that rly made me angry otherwise i wouldn't bother as much tho the noise isn't that cool, but you don't hear it that much in headphones, the GPU i got is factory overclocked so maybe they pumped stuff a bit too much, in any way good i checked it before i was going to return it and say it's junk...


At this point i will keep it, since it works, the holes not matching perfectly the screws are not a problem, cause you can still screw them straight, it's perhaps some "faulty" assemble of the steel part on the square, where you get all the usb, and other ports on the MB perhaps there's some 0.25-0.5mm of something which makes it unable to fit the case perfectly, but it's very very minute, tho i lost some time in the 1 try to figure it out.
