The other day i bought a used PowerColor Red Devil RX 6800 XT. When playing games, especially at high frame rates and in game menus i hear a coil wine coming from my GPU and it's really annoying. I tried lowering the voltage to 1060mV and capping the frame rate to 140fps (bellow my monitor native refresh rate) and the noise does get lower but i can still hear it to the point of it annoying me just enough. The only culprit for this problem can be my PSU which is Chieftec ECO 700W GPE-700S https://www.chieftec.eu/products-detail/118/ECO_SERIES/122/GPE-700S It's an European PSU that focuses on power efficiency and saving energy and it's a brand that hardly any Americans have even heard of. I was thinking of buying a new more expensive PSU like the Corsair RM850e, which is not only Fully-Modular, but also has two different PCI-E cables unlike mine which only came with one. I've heard people saying that plugging two (6+2) pins from two different PCI-E cables does help with lowering coil whine noise. Also on the PowerColor website it does say that the "Minimum Recommended PSU" for their RX 6800 XT is 850W. So it's maybe mine fault for not talking that seriously. So, what are your thoughts? I don't want to end up buying a 100$ more expensive PSU just to have the same coil whine noise again. That's why i need yours reassurance!

I swapped my components put recently and after getting them working I have noticed a very annoying high pitched buzzing noise coming from the top left side of my motherboard. I had 2 different boards and they are both making this noise and i was wondering if its okay or what i can do. The noise gets pretty loud when putting more stress on the cpu and its kind of driving me nuts as im right next to my pc. Anyone know if this is okay or if I should/can do anything about it?

Hello guys, recently, i have noticed that my 16 TB HDDs (which I cant backup at the moment), make this really strange noise, always when booting up the PC, and sometimes, randomly while its on. When it happens while its on, the file explorer suddenly stops working for a few seconds, doesn't respond, and then, the sound stops, and it starts working again with no problem. This happened with just one HDD a while ago, and then, after I had to change the PSU for another unrelationed problem, the other one started beeping, as well. The only thing that they both have in common, (aside from the brand and storage, two Seagates IronWolfs Pro), its that I noticed that the SATA data cables, dont get completely plugged in the HDDs, both of them are a little loose, even when they have those metal plugs that should make them get stuck when plugged correctly (they are pretty stuck in the MOBO), but not in the HDDs. Maybe that could be a problem of the space of my case, which is a bit small, but the SATA power and data cables arent really the most flexible, and the usual slot which are in cases for the storage isnt always the most comfortable for the cable management, but i would like to know if someone knows what could be causing this noise and the stuttering. I took some videos to catch exactly the type of sounds they produce, and i will share the links to YT, to provide a better understanding. I already did some basic tests with Crystaldisk, which told me that the HDDs were in good shape (they have a little over one year of use). Also, I must clarify that I'm using the Y-splitter in the SATA power cable for the connection to the PSU for both HDDs. PD: Sorry if the question isn't that well redacted, but my english isn't pretty good. PD2: I already created this same thread in Tom's Hardware, and while they gave me good advice, the guy who answered also couldn't diagnose the exact cause of the sound, and while I think it could be an issue of the connection, I don't know any way of truly verifying it. HDD sounds while booting:

Hello everyone, So recently I've built a new pc from scratch, like a few weeks ago, everything was just amazing, and now these past few days the PC has been making some weird sounds from inside, my guess would be that it's coming from the motherboard, but can't tell where exactly. I have not picked it apart yet, will be doing that tomorrow, so I wanted to ask for suggestions here, maybe there is an easy fix, or no fix at all? Please let me know, I would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance. PC : https://pcpartpicker.com/list/cnD428 IMG_2748.mov

Fish gills work in a funny way, the water flows from the more oxygenated area to the less oxygenated end. This means that the difference in oxygen between the water and the gill is at a consistent and low gradient instead of a big spike and then a loss of efficiency. I'm looking into water-cooling my next build, not because I want it to be colder but because I want it to be quieter. To that end I imagine if you had double the rads you could run the fans at half the speeds to make it very quiet under long term load. I also very much enjoy making compact builds that can sit on my desk and not take up a huge footprint, but water-cooling is very much the antithesis of that, especially with any case that supports more than one rad. To bring all that together, what if I stacked multiple rads (like 5) together in a chamber not side by side but with the vents end to end, and placed fans in-between them. Running in series with the hot water into the last rad and running the cold water out of the first. This should like a gill let heat transfer consistently through the whole stack at low fan speeds and also be very dense. I could laser cut a case where the pc components are in a compact stack in the top with no fans, and pipe the cpu and gpu coolant into a different chamber with one intake and one exhaust opposite. My question is would it work or just be a waste of money?

Hi everyone, just wanted to know what pump rpm is good for an AIO bc my new Lian Li GA II sl-inf makes a lot of noise the only reasonable amount is the minimum 2200 rpm set on L-connect. PWM mode is good if im gaming but when im idling i dont want to have a nuclear reactor next to me (exagerating its like 40-50dB ~2800rpm), I didn't see a lot of complaints online and it didn't do that noise the first week so it might have a problem but i already RMAd my psu for coil whine and i dont want to do that process again...

I’m sorry for the wall of text, it’s complicated. On my desk I have: two monitors (it happens with both), a laptop (+ dock), a desktop, and a mixer (and some other stuff but I don’t think those are relevant? feel free to ask if you think they might be). Whenever I plug a monitor into the laptop (or rather, its dock), the audio from that same laptop gets noisy, regardless of which monitor, video in, video out, or audio out. The desktop has no such issues, by using my mixer I verified it is only the audio from the laptop. That being said, if I unplug the monitors from the desktop the noise goes away. So, both computers being connected to a monitor (can be the same or different ones) creates the noise. Bypassing the mixer has no effect Now to make things more complicated: I have earbuds with a mic, I use those old school audio Y-spitters to separate the mic from the audio, one at the earbud end and one at the other end to plug into my iPad (that way I can still pause by using the button in my earbuds and put my mixer in between on the audio side so I can listen to my desktop, laptop, iPad, etc. all at the same time), whenever I unplug the mic side the buzz goes away and returns when I plug it in and it does not need to be the iPad, I can also plug the mic into the laptop or desktop, it creates the same noise, it can even be plugged into just the splitter without the iPad. Furthermore, to make things really weird, I can unplug everything (even power) except the video cable from the monitor while keeping the noise (though it is stronger with power connected). The noise could probably best be described as a whine, similar to coil whine, but less stable (it varies in pitch and volume). Here, have a listen: Weird noise.m4a So, to summarise, both computers being connected to a monitor (can be the same or different ones) AND connecting the mic from my earbuds to anything creates the noise, bypassing the mixer does nothing, the noise is only present from the laptop, it happens regardless of power to the monitors and desktop (laptop can’t be unplugged because the dock only works when powered) I’m at a loss, if anyone could point me in a direction where it starts making even the slightest bit of sense, I would be very happy... perhaps interesting: Laptop: HP ProBook 6560b Dock: HP 2012 90W Docking Station Monitor 1: LG 27GP850 Monitor 2: HP Z23 G2 Mixer: Behringer Xenyx 502 Earbuds: Apple EarPods Desktop: Custom

For the past 3 days, with only 10 hours of sleep, I’ve been trying to solve a problem with my PC. Three days ago, I replaced my B350 board with a Ryzen 5 1600 with a B550 board with a Ryzen 5 5500. A quick note: The B550 board and the CPU come from my sister’s PC, which she no longer uses. The problem I’m having is audio cracking, and in some games, it even sounds delayed. My sister had no problems with her PC, and I had no problems with my parts. The intensity of this problem is also not uniform, with Spotify and GTA V being strangely not as strong, but with sudden sounds like Win notifications or when changing songs, it’s always audible. The worst example is Fallout 76, where the crackling is continuous and the sound is delayed or rather distorted quite strongly. Here is a list of everything I have done and tried. I’m sure I’ve forgotten many things that are not included in this list. OS level: Clean Win 11 installation, which I tried 6 times with a new installation medium to rule out installation errors. Installation of the latest drivers. Reinstallation of drivers. Installation of various drivers. Test without drivers. Checking the audio settings in Win and Realtek. Latency test performed (no problems). Hardware level: I have tried various audio devices, from USB headsets to 3.5mm headphones and Bluetooth. I completely disassembled the PC and rebuilt each part. I checked every cable. I unplugged all devices and connections that are not necessary. The temperatures are very good. No benchmark problems or crashes, also applies to games, the performance is good and stable. Bios level: Latest Bios version. Downgraded Bios. CMOS. XMP on/off. PCIe 4/3. Resize bar on/off. Various RAM speeds. Strange case: I removed all 4 RAM DIMMs and only inserted one 8-GB DIMM, and it got slightly better, the crackling was less and in some games it was almost gone. So I tested each individual RAM DIMM, and the result was identical. But as soon as I insert a second one, it starts again. I tried this with channel A and B.

I built my PC 4 days ago and this noise has never happened until tonight. A whining noise from my PC that only occurs when the GPU is under load. The noise instantly stops when GPU load is decreased. I checked the wires and made sure nothing is loose, and the fans are not blocked by anything. Does anyone have any idea what it could be and if it’s a concern?

Hey guys. I replaced my Lian Li Galahad Trinity AIO with a replacement AIO that’s the exact same, because it made a swish/bubble noise every time I turned on my pc. However the one I replaced it with is doing the same thing but louder. If I leave my computer off for like 8+ hours, I hear the air bubbles when it turns on. It doesn’t occur when the pc restarts or turns off for like an hour. What do I do? My pump running 80% speed and I’ve tilted my case over and over…. It’s super odd that multiple units do the same thing. The sound goes away after a few seconds and then I hear the pop or little tiny bubbles getting pushed out of the pump for the next 20 seconds….. it makes no sense. I asked a few people, and one said to move the tubes on the AIO block itself to the top. So like if i rotated my pump 90 degrees... I can try and do that, but i might make a mess lol. I don't know if that will fix it or not... I also set my pump speed lower than normal, around 2700 instead of the 2800-2900 the Lian Li Trinity 2 AIO allows. The picture below is my computer, and the video below is the video of the OLD pump. You can hear the noise, but on the new one it's a whole lot louder than that. I probably should've stayed with my old pump... video1.mp4

The top fan, as in the one on my backplate on my 4080 has this sort of medium-high pitched hum when its running, even at the lowest possible speed at 1100rpm. It bothers me a lot as it causes the card to be louder than any other card I have recently owned including my ventus 4070ti by a decent amount. My case has all bequiet fans and otherwise makes 0 noise so it really stands out. I tried replacing the fan. After some research I found it's normal for these cards as the fan is pulling air through the heatsink and causing turbulence. I wanted to know if anyone else was bothered by this as it seems like a big issue to me. The founders edition cards shouldn't make this kind of noise. I tested every founders card from the 30 series and none of them made this sound. I found a German youtube video where one person tried installing 4.5mm m.2 standoffs under the top fan to minimize this noise. I only had 3mm on hand and it helped but only a little bit so I will try 4.5mm when they arrive. Anyone else with a 4080 or 4090FE have a problem like this? Attached vid is my card (with 3mm standoffs applied) running at 33% or 1100rpm and the noise from the top fan. Only the top fan makes that noise, when I stop it with my finger the bottom fan sounds totally normal. After releasing the fan with my finger the fan also kicked back on super loud, so the sound can be heard even better there. It is evident in that video that at the lowest possible speed before 0rpm that top fan is by far the loudest thing in my pc. I had to use Imgur to upload the vid: https://imgur.com/nGyxH3b

I've very recently purchased the MSI MPG A850GF and since I started using it I noticed a weird sound coming from it. Looking it up on the net I found various people with the same issue and their video proof had the exact same sound as mine does. Is that sound normal for this specific PSU? If not should I return it or will it be fine? I don't want it to damage anything as everything is practically brand new and expensive.

Today my PC started to make a whole lot of noise. Sounded like a fan spinning at full speed, but none I had heard before in 2 years of using this system. I also didn't put my PC under a lot of load, just the browser and a very simple game. I checked every single fan in my system and concluded that it's most likely the PSU. So I monitored the Wattage and System Temps, everything seemed fine, nothing above 50°C or 40W. Restarted my Computer because I got quite worried. Opened it up to check all power connections and the GPU's cable wasn't properly plugged in. I restart, thinking all is well and after 10 minutes the fan spins up again under low load. Monitored the system - still nothing out of the ordinary. After 3-5 minutes the fan powered down. Right now I am unsure if this is anything to worry about. My PC had had some hiccups in the last days (freezing, blackscreen probably caused by a broken clamp on the GPU's PCIe Slot. Moved it to the lower PCIe Slot, now it's fine) but I don't think the issues are connected. Here are my specs: CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X RAM: 16GB @3600mHz; DDR4 Mainb.: MSI B550 A-Pro GPU: GTX1060 6GB PSU: Corsair RM750 Any advice is appreciated

I mean before purchasing, one option is to look it up on YouTube, but is there any other way? So far, with my next to zero knowledge I've come to the following conclusion: Less than 50 bucks = microphones pickup background noise easily Higher than 50 bucks = microphones do not pickup much background noise I highly doubt this is accurate, but it's what I have seen from videos

this is currently on sale for 500 Euro. Is there something equally good? I dont need the touch screen, I dont need the yoga flex option. I only need the lappy for surfing and youtube, and g suite in the cloud. I am very sensitive to noise levels, can this cpu be tamed with software? i think it is not underclockable undervoltable, right? so given that I dont want fan noise and I only do light surfing, is this good for me for the price? thanks for all help! 5 PRO 5675U ThinkPad L13 Yoga Gen 3 21BBCTO1WWDE3 1 € 498.96 Product Image Processor: AMD Ryzen™ 5 PRO 5675U Processor (2.30 GHz up to 4.30 GHz) Product Image Operating System: Windows 11 Home (64 Bit) Product Image Language of the Operating System: Windows 11 Home 64 – WE (EN/FR/DE/NL/IT) Product Image Microsoft Software for Productivity: None Product Image Total Memory Capacity: 16 GB DDR4-3200MHz (soldered) Product Image Hard Drive: 512 GB SSD, M.2 2242, PCIe 4.0, TLC, OPAL 2.0 Product Image Display: 13.3" WUXGA (1920 x 1200), IPS, matte, smudge-resistant, multitouch, 72% NTSC, 500 cd/m², 60 Hz, ePrivacy privacy filter

hi I bought this mic (HyperX Quadcast S) a year ago after I bought an i9 13900KF and changed my motherboard to Asus Tuf Z-790-Plus Wifi I encountered some weird thing happening to my computer for example, my monitor sometimes goes black and it seems like it turned itself off, after a few seconds it comes back on by itself (Asus Tuf Gaming VG27AQ1A) and most importantly, my microphone it sometimes disconnects and reconnects by itself in half a second, but everything seems fine until my friends in Discord say my voice became froggy, and I have to disconnect the mic entirely and reconnect it to fix it. now every time it disconnects and reconnects I need to unplug and replug it in. I'll upload an example that I recorded from this situation. And we are not even talking about the worst part yet! sometimes my mic changes my voice to a weird loud earsplitting noise that gets louder every time I speak, this one happens without disconnecting and I can tell when it happens but my friends get jumpscared every time. I'll upload this too. I have to mention that I record gameplays a lot and these happen more often when I'm recording, I don't know if it's because of the CPU or motherboard and the game's high load but it has to be connected to that I connect my Logitech Brio webcam when I'm recording, and I'll unplug it after recording, keep in mind that it also happens when I'm not recording, its just less likely to happen froggy voice.mp4 loud noises.mp4

I'm building a new PC today and halfway through I powered it on to test that everything was working properly (at the advisement of the Linus Tech tips guide) and it worked fine. Temperatures were low and it detected all the devices. I proceeded to finish the build, powered it on and POP... I sat there in shock for a while, but the computer proceeded to open the BioS like nothing happened. No weird smells or anything. I had a feeling it was the HDD because that was the only thing that I plugged into the PSU the second time but not for the test run. So I unplugged it from the PSU and booted the computer up a third time and it worked fine; no pop. However, I'm scared to try anything else because I don't want to risk breaking anything. My PSU is a SAMA 850W and my HDD is a 2018 WD20EZRZ from my previous build. The HDD is the only thing that isn't brand new. What should I do?

For some reason my pc started making some weird 'electric' noise, sounds like a dog holding a bug in its mouth. Noise appears only during gaming and only if cpu or gpu is loaded hard, like when I alt+tab from the game noise disappears, and when I come back noise appears. I've run multiple different benchmarks and stress test (like stability test, cpu and memory in OCCT, cinebench and furmark, sometimes all at the same time) and noise didnt appear. The only thing I did is pulled out 1 stick of ram to test something. Now its making this noise regardless of what I'm using 1 or 2 ram sticks. The sound is seems to be coiming from gpu or cpu area.

Hi all, Using a new XPG Cybercore II 1300w power supply and having an issue where the ramps up really loudly every 5mins or so minutes then back down to normal again while gaming. Anything I can do to alleviate this or am I out of luck? If I need to swap PSU, could anyone recommend a good PSU that doesn't have the annoying "smart" fan curve... 13900k x 3090 (rant: I love PC building, but man it seems like never ending issues sometimes...)

K, so I've got this power supply with this insanely loud fan that goes to 100% pretty much all the time, it's a 120mm, 2-pin fan, and I want to replace it with one that I can control through the motherboard, but.. I'm pretty sure the PSU won't turn on without a fan (Also note that the connector on the psu for the fan is unplugable thanks to some wierd white stuff that's on it, so the only real way to "unplug" would be to cut the wires). And if you're wondering why I don't just get a new one, it's because I'm kinda low on cash ATM. 600Watts, System max cons. 250Watts

hello I built a computer on 23 June. and i noticed that euro truck simulator 2 has a strange beeping sound when playing the video card. my friend told me that it is coil whine. I don't know what to do with it. not sure video card gives but I think so. sometimes whines at low loads.

So today i heard weird noises in my pc case as if it's a fan making a buzzing noise showing that i thought a fan was being hit to a wire or something so i tried to see if the issue was any of the CPU, GPU, Case fans and no none of them seem to be the issue. One weird thing that happens is tho that when i put my finger on the side panel or unscrew one or two screw's of the tempered glass it's gone. when i take the temperes glass completely off and i shake my case gently it's back. but when i put my finger on the BACK of the psu or the area around it or even the top of my case when i touch it a push gently with my finger it's gone. and it also happens when my case has only 3 legs on the desk for example but the third one (the front one) is in the air loose. It happens when my pc case is in weird positions is what (like moved to the right a little bit or moved to the left a little bit or even tilted to the right i tried tilting it to see if the noise would be there with the tempered glass on and yep it was there. I tried taking all the cables off my pc and take it for a cleanup and now the noise is completely gone with tempered glass and side panel on or off. Is it my PSU fan? I mean would a bad fan noise go away just if i put my finger on the steel on the back of the psu or on the panels of the case? i don't get what's going on and i'm scared because warranty says it's not a PSU issue and they refused me to go get it checked because "There is no reason to" My PSU and case are coolermaster MWE v2 bronze 650W and gigabyte C200 tempered glass case. Update : I asked a computer shop near me and he said that the PSU fan won't calm down if i touch the case with my finger. VIBRATION does that but not a bad fan. So is it vibration ? i mean now that i took the cables off and reconnected them and the noise is completely gone i don't know what it is anymore..

Hello, I received a Fenda F770X as a gift. Sadly the noise is quite bad. At lower volumes it dilutes the sound and when nothing is playing it is more noticeable than my PC fans. As it is a gift and that the giver often comes around I cannot replace it - I would find it insulting and frankly I am grateful for the gift nonetheless. Can I somehow fix the noise? (by internal modding) I am willing to put the time into it... Thanks

Hi, I hope this is the correct topic. This is the sound my pump makes when I turn my pc on. It doesn’t do it every time sometimes it’s quieter. It’s really worrying me though as people are saying the pump is broke. I’ve ran cinebench and my temps are 60C and no higher. I’ve played games and it runs very stable. That noise goes after 2 seconds and then my AIO is pretty much silent. Is there a way to fix this or if not is my pc safe? IMG_3915.mov
