Sometimes different combination of GPU and PSU can lead to reduced coil whine. I tried 3 different PSUs and 2 different GPUs ... any combination I made, coil whine was always there.

My "solution" was, to move PC in room below mine, and simply buy 5M displayport/USB/HDMI cables. Now noise can't get to me and I can sleep peacefully.

What about changing clock speeds? 

I've heard that certain power supplies combined with certain graphics cards can reduce the sound of coil whine but which psu to choose? Can I also lower the clock speeds on it but not so low that it will perform way worse?

what is considered good quality?

good looks?

good speeds? 

good build quality?

I want it to look alright, I don't care too much about speeds unless it bottlenecks an ssd (so around 500mb speeds) and I prefer it to be made out of metal and not plastic or something. (doesn't look and feel cheap)

Looking for a good quality docking station for around 50$ that can fit two hard drives and can support 2.5-inch drives. I live in Australia so I'm limited to stores like amazon, newegg, mwave and Pc case gear. Any recommendations?

Yes you are in the wrong section. Over unity isn't discussed on this forum.

I mean if you completely sealed off your case(so no air escapes through any gap besides the exhaust fan) and have several intake fans, and an unpowered exhaust fan (which would spin slightly due to air pressure) it could generate some electricity, but the electricity generated would be a tiny fraction of what's used to power the intake fans.

Technically yes, but the amount of power you'd generate would be in microwatts -- not even enough to power an LED.

Alright, thanks guys!

Crazy idea but is it possible to generate electricity just like wind turbines? Only the air would be from the exhaust fan of a PC. Am I in the wrong section to for these types of posts? Lol

I was wondering if I can buy a Dell Optiplex 990sff and transfer the motherboard and CPU into a new case.

I don't think it will be enough, and if you link your cpu cooler I can tell you because frankly sir I don't believe you

I think my panel fans are crap. If i buy decent quality fans and replace these crap ones then  then maybe the temperature will lower.

If you want to be extra, extra safe you can download Anti Malwarebytes and run the trial period for the full version and make a full scan.  Afterwards just delete it.

Ran the scan and nothing came up :D. Thanks!

Okie then. Going to do that right now.

Its very unlikely after the steps you've already taken  

Ok then. Thank you for validating my steps. I can sleep well tonight lmao.

If you restored your PC to before you got infected, it shouldn't really be present anymore.

 

Then again, part of me wonders why you would even consider downloading a shady file from a Russian video tutorial? You set a restore point, so you were even anticipating things to go south.

I just wanted apex legends to work on my phenom cpu. I saw the guy in the video run some virus check and i got sketched out. So thats why i set a restore point. Lol

Alright so, I found this Russian video claiming to fix the unsupported cpu fix for apex legends a lot of the comments said it worked so i was naive and downloaded the file. I set a restore point just before i opened the file and thank god i set a restore point because as soon as i opened it Windows defender notifications were popping up saying "Windows Defender Antivirus has detected malware or other potentially unwanted software.

Straight away, i ran system restore and deleted the download file as soon as i got back into windows. I also ran a full scan of my hard drive using windows defender. Do i still have the virus somehow?

what you have told me means nothing, a proper statement that gives me information that can help me determine if your fan or cooler needs to be repositioned is

 

"it is sucking from my exhaust fan and blowing air into my case"

 

or

 

"it is sucking air from my case and blowing air into my exhaust fan"

My cpu cooler exhausting air from its fan going into the back exhaust fan. Going to add a side fan to my side panel that exhausts the air out. I think that we'll work 

Just now, SigmaDire said:

if you see this

 

its blowing away from you

 

 

otherwise

 

 

so you tell me

Exhausting I think. Okie ty 

10 minutes ago, SigmaDire said:

if you can't add fans or change case(for a gpu lol) then you should run it with the side open and to be honest that case is just shit going into the future if you can't improve the thermals it's going to have to go sooner or later anyway

Is my CPU fan exhausting or intaking? 

1 minute ago, SigmaDire said:

I see two fans and no information about the way your cpu fan is going so I'm going to assume that your case only has 2 fans and you don't know which way your cpu cooler is going so I'm going to go ahead and diagnose your problem and that is it.

 

You're welcome

Ok. My case has only two fans and no I don't know the which way your cpu cooler is going. Let me go try the other way now lol.

amd cards are great for winter

 

that being said is your CPU heatsink pulling air against the exhaust fan or pushing air out of it?

 

and it would be more important to know how your case fans are setup my friend

There's the inside of my case. Should i turn my cpu fan to the right side?

hard to tell but you might as well try it

I tried the thermal paste and it didn't lower the temps at all. In fact it made it go up by 4c from 87 to 91. Great...

Just double what CPU-Z reports

ok

16 minutes ago, Jurrunio said:

CPU-Z reads the actual frequency of the memory (I/O bus clock) while the speed we typically talk about is the data rate, which is twice the I/O bus clock. You're already getting 1336

Oh, so I'm just an idiot..... lol. So where can I see my ram frequency in windows? 

9 minutes ago, Jurrunio said:

DRAM voltage, should be somewhere near core voltage setting

I applied 1.65V but the Dram frequency is still on 668  

5 minutes ago, Jurrunio said:

DRAM voltage, should be somewhere near core voltage setting

OK I'll try that. But you see how it's set to 1333 in the bios but in windows the ram is at 668. Does the pcie frequency do anything too because its set to 100. 

Just now, Jurrunio said:

but is it actually running 2000?

 

and that's normal to not work. Drop that a bit back. OC voltage for DDR3 is 1.65-1.7V so you can try them if you're looking to overclock the memory anyway

No, I had to reset the CMOS again to get a display. where do i put those numbers though? 

1 minute ago, LuckyAsFox said:

I did lol. That's the result. Hold up, let me increase the Dram frequency from 1333 to the max number and see if that makes a difference. 

Increased the ram speed to 2000mhz now I have no display. I think i need to increase the voltage but i don't know what numbers to put in.
