Unfortunately i have yet to figure out how to lock my FPS globally, it certainly doesnt work for every application using just Radeon Settings

Greetings LTT Community, I've recently upgraded my system completely to a Ryzen 3000 build, including a brand new RX5700 XT from MSI (The mech Armor model, since I wasn't able to sell a kidney for my PC this time around XD). I noticed that in some games, especially the super old MMO i occasionally play with my friends, I get CRAZY loud "squealing" noises from my GPU. I am suspecting Coilwhine but it is REALLY loud. I can hear it through my headphones sometimes especially when it changes in pitch and it makes my otherwhise pretty damn silent build really annoying when playing these older game. The issue ONLY happens when I start a game that causes m FPS to completely go through the roof, starting at around 300 ish up into the multiple thousands, depending on the game I play. The noise also changes in pitch and immediately goes away if I change to desktop or another application. I am very sensitive to these high pitched noises and they cause me headaches over prolonged times or really tire me out. I have tried to use things like FRTC and such, but some of these games are literally so old that Radeon Control Center doesn't even pick them up. Or they just plain up ignore the settings(in the case of Stellaris e.g. but this one also ignores the Vsync flag entirely for some reason THX paradox!) Ive been reading up a bit and discussing this issue with some colleagues at work and they recommended me to check my PSU for issues. I have to admit that my PSU is a bit on the older side, a Be Quiet! Straight Power 11 at 600Watts that ive used since... 2014~ish(I actually have no idea when i bought this thing). Its never been a problem before though. I noticed SOME coil whine on my old GPU, an Asus RX480 Strix but with the new GPU its CRAZY. If you guys have some tips as to how I could maybe hard-enforce a limit on my FPS or otherwhise reduce the noise level in low load high fps scenarios short of buying me two Freesync monitors (if that'd even help), I'd be super glad. Thanks in advance, SotS

So that Video DrM posted actually shows the use of that R9 290 cooler. Only that i will be getting the 140mm cooler variant. Ill try it out in a week when im back from vacation and let you guys know how it went!

Thanks for the quick responses guys! Thogh the G10 is just a adapter/case for an extra fan cooling the VRMs right? What actual closed system, aka Pump and radiator is recommendable?

Hi, So i recently bought the new RX480 and i wanted to ask if someone could suggest a compatible, closed system, GPU-only Watercooling solution i could use to get my Temps down a bit while gaming so i dont have to deal with thermal throttle and play w/o having to listen to a hairdryer. Ive seen a GPU only solution for an R9 290 available for a good price and i wonder if that one might do the trick for me... Really hope you guys can help me out! Thanks in advance, SonoftheStars
