[SOLVED] Weird sound Cpu

[FredIsAverage]

Hey

Today noticed something strange while i was gaming. My pc made a weird sound every time i went into a game, in like any game. Based on what i can hear it comes from the cpu area. Its like a squeeky sound. Sounds kind of like electricity. The pc is only two weeks old. The cpu is a ryzen 3700x, with the stock cooler. The mobo is a msi b450 pro carbon ac.

If anyone have a clue on what this could come from, i would really like to hear it.

Squeeky sound will most likely be the psu. I would replace that psu. That kinda of sound it not a good sign for the psu. I would if possible replace the psu see if the sounds disappears.

The CPU doesn't make noise.
But that doesn't automagically indicate the PSU is the culprit.

Any moving part in the system could do this.
The CPU cooler fan, case fans, PSU fan, HDD...

It also could be could coil whine since it only happens when you play a game.


Here you can read about coil whine in the event you never heard of it.

Thank you guys so much, it seems like its coil whine. I capped the fps, so now i the sound is gone.

I really appreciate the help.
