Hi guys,
last week, I build up my new rig:
Case: Fractal Design Define 7
CPU: Ryzen 9 5900X
Mainboard: MSI MEG X570 Unify
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB
PSU: Seasonic Prime TX-1000
Graphics Card: Radeon RX 6800 XT
HDDs: 3x SSDs (only thing I re-used from my old computer)
Unfortunately there is coil whine when the computer is under heavy load, e.g. when playing games or running a benchmark (3D Mark).
I changed almost all components (with completely different models/manufacturers) step-by-step to identify the responsible hardware, but without any success so far:
The only two components that I did not change were the CPU and the case. Since the case can probably not be responsible for any coil whine - I am wondering:
Could the CPU actually somehow cause this? So would it make sense to RMA it?
Or is some degree of coil whine even normal nowadays on modern systems?
It is not that bad actually, i.e. I barely notice it when the case is closed, but it's still a minor annoyance when the room is very quiet.

I changed almost all components (with completely different models/manufacturers) step-by-step to identify the responsible hardware, but without any success so far:
- First I changed the PSU, but this didn't fix it, so the Seasonic PSU seems to be ok.
- Next I changed the graphics cards, but this didn't have any effect either.
- Finally, I changed RAM and mainboard, but unfortunately the coil whine is still there.
