Hello everyone,
I'm a little worried by my pc's (ASUS M32CD - i5-7400 - GTX 1060 3GB - 16GB RAM) health and I'd like to ask you all for advice. Thanks in advance if you think you can help me.
A few days ago, I noticed my GPU temp were really high (like 70° idle). I decided to unplug it an clean it gently with a qtip. I removed tons of dust from the fan and proceeded to put it back into place. When I started my computer, it booted and shut down immediately. I started it again and everything went fine.
But now, whenever my GPU is under load (playing 3D games like Bannerlord), I hear a distinct high pitched sound that is exacly like the one in this video :

I tried to locate it in my case and I'm still not sure if it comes from the PSU or GPU but it definitely seems to be the GPU. Lowering framerate under 60FPS or enabling VSync makes the sound weaker but it's definitely here. As soon as I enter a menu, it disappears, and it comes back as soon as I'm back in the game.
I underlined the fact that at first, my computer didn't go past the BIOS step, then rebooted successfully to windows because i was thinking... maybe something changed in the BIOS settings ? Maybe it's a dumb hypothesis, but I thought it was worth mentioning.
HWMonitor gives me the following values while ingame (for my GPU) :
Voltage : between 0.810V and 1.063V ;
Temperature : between 50 and 70°c ;
Fans : between 1800RPM and 4100RPM (mostly sitting at 2000 RPM)
Clock : between 1506 and 1800 Mhz
As for my MB, all seems well except I'm not sure about the VCore value (between 1.040 and 1.096).
I wonder if it could be coil whine. Can it suddenly appear after cleaning ? Any other lead you could think of ? Do you think this sound and these values could mean my rig could be damaged or taking damage ?
Thanks in advance ! If I should give more information, i'll definitely do it.
