Hello,

Sometimes when I boot up a game and the GPU utilization goes higher(80-90%) GPU starts making weird noise. When I alt-tab out of the game and back in the noise dissappears(not always).

GPU: EVGA RTX 3080 XC3
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7800x3d
CPU cooler: Deepcool AK620
RAM: G.Skill Flare x5 32gb ddr5
MOBO: MSI MAG B650 Tomahawk WiFi ATX
PSU: Seasonic Focus GX-850 850W 80+ Gold fully modular
Chassis: Corsair 4000D Airflow




I have ran all my fans including CPU and GPU and then there is no noise like that.

EDIT: Ive done some researching and find some similar noises/probles coming from PSU. Could that be? Because I also encountered a situation where there was no noise and once I put back a case part(it rattled the case a bit) the noise came back.

When posting a thread of troubleshooting nature, it's customary to include your full system's specs. Please list the specs to your build like so:
CPU:
CPU cooler:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:
Monitor:
include the age of the PSU apart from it's make and model. BIOS version for your motherboard at this moment of time.

What game(s) are you taxing the system with?

My GPU is: EVGA RTX 3080 XC3
Is it the Ultra version? What VBIOS version are you on for the card?

Moved thread from Components section to Graphics Cards section
