Question Coil whining in something

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
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.
