Ok so a little backstory,

I have had a 1060 6gb for 2 years now and upgraded today to a rx 590 fatboy, ever since i plugged that badboy in my psu (i think) makes a terruble noise when gpu usage is high. So this is not the fan of the gpu, since putting gpu fans to 100% did not produce the same sound.

What i think the problem is is that the PSU is 520 watt and the rx 590 is as the name sugest a fat boy and needs alot of power, wayy more than the asus gtx 1060. But i dont know for sure because i dont experience any graphical issues or crahses.

What do you guys think is it the PSU, is it the lack of power and should i upgrade to a 600W psu? Or is it somthing different like a half broken fan?

Thanks a lot for the help!

Could be coil whine, which generally happens under heavy load.
You can either request a replacement unit from seasonic, or upgrade the PSU.

Mhh.. that could be it. But its really really loud. You can hear the pc in the next room. I thought that coil whine was more of a anoying thing than really loud?

Coil whine is usually fairly quiet and ignorable, which is why something this loud would warrant an RMA. (Assuming you do isolate the noise to the PSU)

Ok, thanks you. Il try to get a replacement. But if i dont get a replacement and il end up upgrading the psu, should i then go for 600W or higher. My settup is:

RX 590 fatboy (hoge powercosumtion onder ''high load'' iets van 240 dacht it''
ryzen 5 2600
2x8 3000mhz ram
2 fans
1 ssd and 1 hdd

Thank you

A solid 650w unit would be a decent choice, gives you some headroom which improves efficiency and wont break the bank.

I have just done a GPU and a CPU stress test at the same time both 100% usage. And the sound wasnt nearly as bad as when i was playing overwatch. I cant figure and why this is. Temperatures where high gpu 80 cpu 75 and worload was both 100% but there was no weird ratlling sound... Do you have any idea how that might happen?

 

[Gam3r01]

From what Ive read, coil while (assuming it is) can vary with load, since it was consistent it might not have been as severe.

It definitely won't hurt to replace your power supply. And then you can evaluate if that fixes the issue.

After doing the stress tests it has gotten better. But i might just replace the power supply anyway, but my budget is not that big at the moment. Would somthing like this do the trick? https://www.amazon.com/Seasonic-S12...07MWHRG99/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8
Or is that to cheap and would this be a better option?
