Question Static Noise from either GPU or CPU

[Jack Ross]

Hi there,
I have been having some issues with a fairly loud static noise emanating from my pc. I have taken the front panel off and I'm fairly confident it is coming from either the GPU or the CPU pump however its hard to tell them apart. It isn't usually there when I start the PC but is usually triggered when I play a game or if I am drawing on OneNote. This leads me to believe its the graphics card but I'm not sure. Does anyone have any ideas on what may be causing it / possible solutions?

Specs:
AMD Ryzen 7 5700 G
Asus TUF Gaming B550 motherboard
Gigabyte Radeon RX6600XT
Team TForce delta ram
Asus ROG Strix Gold 750W power supply
Deep cool Castle 360EX ARGB AIO liquid cooler

Cheers

Might want to roll up a sheet of A4 paper and then place one end of the cylinder on your ear and then use the other end to look for the source of the noise.

Yeah I’m pretty confident it’s the graphics card now. It looks like coil whine is the most likely culprit based on what I’ve researched. Any suggestions to minimise it.

You can try and undervolt it with MSI Afterburner, see if that helps, make sure the gpu stays stable so test. Enough vids online which go into undervolting by using the MSI tool.

If it's really loud and annoying could you try an rma.
