  1. I did some research after I saw your replies; I think you're right and we can attribute the noise to coil whine. Thanks for the help guys!
  2. I upgraded my PC for the first time in 7 years and just built it yesterday. Here's the part list: CPU: Ryzen 7 3700X AIO: Corsair H100i RGB Platinum 240mm AIO RAM: Corsair Vengence RGB Pro 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4 3600 MHz SSD: ADATA XPG SX8200 Pro 1 TB MOBO: MSI MPG X570 Gaming Edge WiFi GPU: Asus Geforce RTX 2080 Super PSU: EVGA Supernova G3 850 W PSU The issue I'm having is that when I run a game there's an audible buzzing sound coming from the case. It's only present when a game is in focus - even having the game running and just opening the Start menu causes the buzzing to stop immediately. It's not loud but it's very noticeable and seems to be directly tied to having a game in focus. I can rule out the fans on the video card and the fan on the mobo. When switching focus back to a game, the buzzing sound will start before the fans start spinning. My suspicion is that it's the AIO pump. I downloaded the latest NVIDIA drivers and mobo drivers. iCUE is running the latest version, and from within it, I can verify the AIO and RAM are running the latest firmware. I enabled XMP in the BIOS and ensured that all of my fans were recognized. Any thoughts?
  3. Hi everyone, I work from home and am provided with a work laptop, a laptop docking station (laptop connects to it via USB-C), and 2 external monitors. I will be upgrading my home PC soon and will be purchasing a 1440p ultra wide monitor to use with it. All 3 monitors would be used at the same time (all for work or all for personal use). I'm looking for a way to switch between laptop and PC input to the 3 monitors, while using 1 keyboard and 1 mouse to control whichever is the active input. Is there a KVM switch or a video splitter (or some combination of both) that is capable of this?
  4. Based on my personal experience - yes, 2 GB of VRAM will suffice. I've been playing with a Radeon HD 7850 2 GB and the game runs surprisingly smooth. Yes, obviously, my graphics settings are turned down a little bit but I am able to play just fine with my available VRAM. Also, according to their website, the minimum required AMD graphics card is a Radeon HD 7730, which has only 1 GB of VRAM. Edit: Sorry, you'd care about the NVIDIA card... The minimum required is an NVIDIA GeForce GT 640.

  6. I stumbled across the LinusTechTips YouTube channel while browsing r/pcmasterace. This channel is exactly what I've wanted!! My favorite videos are the product reviews and the Handy Tech under $100 (because I'm poor haha). I will definitely be becoming a member here as well. Thanks for the giveaway Linus!
