I've very recently begun to hear my GPU whine, 99% sure it's the coils. Only starts under load, I can dampen it ever so slightly by underclocking, but it's still quite irritating. Anyone got some advice? Is it normal that this has onset after a few months of use? It is a slim possibility that I've just never noticed it before, as I've recently moved the build and haven't gamed in a while. Still, I dread to think I'll have to put up with a gerbil screaming at me while I professionaly game. Cheers.

B550s are not much extra cost for some room for expansion. There are definitely B550 boards that are a little cheaper than that too, if you can find them.

Not quite sure your PSU would be the problem, a 2070S is rated to draw 215W and I doubt you'd be drawing over the rest with system. Have you tried stress testing and seeing if that gets your resource usage up? Checking your drivers would probably be the case if not. This might seem obvious, but have you unlocked your IG framerates?

If it's one of the pins around the golden triangle, you might be in luck. Otherwise, try your best to bend it back into shape without breaking it off. Good luck!

Prawn cocktail, easy.

See how you perform. If not, pray and grab some tweezers.
