Hello forum,
I built my buddy's computer a couple years ago and have been his personal tech support for a while now. I've also given him hand-me-down parts that I no longer needed and have installed them for him.
Over time, he has been having a handful of strange issues and complaints with the system, one of which are strange noises. He claims that there is a dog-whistle tone coming from his GPU while under load, and he isn't convinced that it is coil whine.
Another problem he has been having is experiencing lag-spikes while gaming. I have been trying to fine-tune his system, and to no avail, none of it seems to improve his performance.
I would appreciate any help from the true professionals here, I really am still learning, but I am determined to get better at this. Thank you.
Specs:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 3700X
GPU: Nvidia RTX 3070Ti
RAM: 16GB DDR4 @ 3200MHz
Motherboard: B450 Aorus Pro Wifi
PSU: 750W Thermaltake SMART Non-Modular
OS: Windows 10 Home, 21H2
