[SOLVED] Electrical like buzzing noise coming from GPU

[stinto112]

I recently bought a second hand GPU (GTX 1060 6gb) and I am noticing a weird electrical like buzzing noise which only occurs whilst playing games. Whats weird is that stuttering seems to occur in many games and when it does the sound cuts out and then happens again once the fps is stabilised. My 1050 works fine with no issues so it must be the card. My PSU: be quiet! system power 8 400w 80+ power supply.

Are you sure its your gpu? It could be your gpu or your psu I recon, but either way what you are experiencing is called coil whine

Its not something to worry about as it doesnt really affect your performance although it doesnt sound the best.

That is likely coil whine.


Here is a video of a GPU with coil whine.

Mine sounds nothing like that... more like an electrical buzzing noise which stays at the same volume and frequency. I've returned the GPU to the seller and am buying one new. Thanks for the reply anyway.
