hd 7850 noisy gpu

[nicopucho]

i bought a used hd 7850 and it makes a noise when it goes under load, it isn't the fan, i changed the fan speed manually and it works just fine, the noise is coming from the gpu itself.

PSU: NZXT 750w 80+
GPU: HD 7850 XFX 2gb

Sounds like coil whine-it's usually a high pitched whistle or 'chirrip' sound that changes pitch with frame rate in games and is usually constant on the desktop.

i can barely hear it on the desktop, didn't even noticed until now... and the sound increases when the gpu load increases

Yep, it's coil whine and, sadly, there's nothing you can do about it other than put up with the noise.
