Hello, everyone,
I feel it is necessary to point out that this is my first time PC gaming, only having recently (around a month or two ago) received my custom built PC from Centrecom in Australia.
My problem is my MSI GeForce GTX 1060 OC V2 6GB is very loud. It becomes loud when my PC is turning on (though that is quick) but also when steam and Discord load. I have only played a few games (Max Payne 3, CS:GO, etc.) during this time, but the sound didn't occur whilst gaming. However, I recently started playing the Prey demo, and I assumed everything would be fine on ultra, since weaker graphics cards have reached 60fps. Whenever I use the keyboard to move, the loud sound occurs and stops if I stop. I have messed with lowering the settings and only seems to not make a sound when EVERYTHING is on the lowest, even AA off.
I don't believe it is coil whining because I have heard coil whining if I don't have V-Sync on, and it goes if it is.
This has been going on every time I turn on the computer, and I have the latest drivers updated. It may be important to point out I did have no monitor, but a HDMI TV native 720p, but I used the Nvidia control panel to resize it to around 1080p.
I also doubt it is dust, since it is new, but since I am no expert, I shouldn't be jumping to any conclusions. This is something I do hope is not the result of a faulty card.
I would gladly appreciate any advice, and I thank everyone bearing with this bumbling fool, yours sincerely.
