Alright well I figured out it was my hard drive after all!

 

Seems to be running fine though so far...

hard drives are not supposed to make that sound....

Back up your data ASAP and replace it.

And since the problem is solved mark the topic as solved please :)

Hi,


mostly just curious than anything and figured you guys would likely know.


What are these sound effects you can hear at 0:02 and 0:07

Thanks


I should have stated that its a gtx 970 strix so there are no fans noises as the fans do not spin until above 65*C (which isn't a requirement for this sound).


 


 


I don't think it is coin whine as it isn't consistently doing this. Only does it for the tiny bursts that you can hear.

It isn't coil whine.

 

It isn't a constant whining sound. It is a very short sound that occurs randomly and has no correlation to what I am doing on my PC.

Hmm. When I have compared it to other sounds of coil whine they always seem more prolonged than this.

I would return it if it's still under warranty. No reason to stick with a card like that even if it performs well.

that sounds like a hard drive clicking.
Are you sure it is coming from your GPU?

The reason I don't believe it is anything but the graphics card is because whenever I switch it out for troubleshooting I don't hear that sound.

I have the exact same problem with my 970 msi gaming card. When I first got the card it would make the sound a lot, specifically in the Rome 2 TW built in benchmark the card would consistently make the whining sound. However now, about a week later, I hardly ever get the noise anymore...

My problem is not that he saying Linus is wrong its that the video is terribly made using a text to speech program and is just bashing him for being wrong. and its not like all the things in that video are wrong like changing your power supply can help. that legitimate can help.

I  have GameServer`s And VOIP servers the only price is that you have fun on them.

I has some old corsair fans that came with an H100i that sounded a little like that.

i just got a replacement fan from corsair because mine was making a similar noise.

However, it is far more often, and louder.

how about both of you learn the English language.

Then, and only then, can you have a public argument in a thread that has almost nothing to do with what you are bitching about.
