There is this loud buzzing sound coming from the PC, apparently the sound appears under high load, im guessing its the PSU. It has an electric sound so i don't think it has to do anything with the cooling fans.

In the audio im Alt-Tabbing into a game to show the buzzing noise.

My build:

Asus Rog Strix RTX 3090 24GB OC
i9 12900k
ASUS Z690 MAXIMUS FORMULA
Corsair Dominator Platinum RGB 32GB 5600Mhz
Asus Rog Thor 1200w Platinum
Corsair 5000x
H150i Elite Capellix

Not defective. High frequency noise from the voltage regulation modules / chokes (ie coils)

Almost certainly the GPU. Pretty much all the GA102 cards have coil whine that I have come across.
Its coming from the GPU, yes. I made my research, looked at other people videos and the sound is identical to mine so its a relief to me, was worried about defection.

Asus Rog Strix has the loudest coil whine from what i see, if i would've realized that before the purchase would've definitely went for the Suprim X since its more silent in that sense.
