[SOLVED] Msi Gtx 1050ti coil whine

[Andrew 3584]

My graphics card outputs a fairly audible coil whine noise on idle from around a meter away. What would be the cause of this? poor quality components on the card? or just age?

My psu is the super flower leadex III 550 watt gold. I'm certain that I had the same amount amount of coil whine with my old bad quality psu, just that the old psu masked the gpu coil whine sound(the coil whine used to be audible with my old psu when the system was underload).

Besides updating drivers and the BIOS of the motherboard, you could try to undervolt the GPU

It´s hardware related and only replacing the card could really help.

I guess i'll upgrade to a gtx 1660ti or something later this year.
