Coil whine? maybe. 5700xt pulse

[jamieyeung0310]

something goes wrong last night. Do some research on linus site. Some 'eeeeeeee' sound when i scroll my mouse.

What's that??? coil whine??? any solution???

Annoying me badly.pls help.

It's basically something you deal with or you RMA your GPU.

That is assuming this is coil whine of course. Coil whine occurs on a component level, when certain components draw a some more power, so could occur at any time (usually people experience it games with high fps for example).

 

I have some people online suggest to use hotglue to insulate whatever is making the noise, but I can't imagine that is good for the component. 

Perhaps downclocking can help too, but have not tried that, so I'm not sure.

[jamieyeung0310]

TUVM for those usefull information.

If that 100% sure coil whine. then nothing i can do for it.

5700xt reference even worse.

does the sound come out when you put the GPU under heavy load?

Not heavy load. only web. when i scroll down

[jamieyeung0310]

Heavy load wiredly quiet. no clue.

then that I dont think is coil whine of the graphics card, graphics card's coil whine scales with power draw and frame rate. In your case it's basically keeping the same frame rate and power draw is nowhere near as high as in 3D load.

so... PSU problem???  550w for 3600&5700xt bit low?

where is it coming from?

GPU

and its not doing it under load?

Maybe that 'eeee' sounds is coming from your mouse's scrollwheel? ;DD Had this with one of my razer mouses, but I could clearly hear it was coming from the mouse and not the PC.

np, define gpu i check it over and over.

mouse moving 'eeee' 

mouse stop quite

[cole0622]

sure its not coming from the mouse or signal propagation from the mouse through speakers?

Yup! no speakers new mouse & old mouse, everything out of case. pretty sure it's GPU.

yup

[cole0622]

did you remove the gpu to see it it continues?

Uninstall GPU driver. sounds gone. pretty sure it is from GPU

[cole0622]

that's bizarre does it wine in a different system?

yeah, so wired. win10 1909 & win10 1903 & win10 1809 & archlinux every system 'eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee'

This behavior makes sense according to what I’ve been told about coil whine.

My understanding of coil whine is that all coils whine.  They’re just tuned to be out of human hearing. (Unless someone messed up and they’re not) Not animal hearing usually.  Coils change the noise they make based on what they are doing.  Very occasionally one can setup a sub harmonic that drops into human hearing range. Then humans hear coil whine.  

It may be that that particular action sets up a particular harmonic on your coil that you can hear.
 

I don’t particularly like the hot glue thing either. You would be changing the harmonic of the coil and you could make it effectively whine more.

well not 100% sure but coil whine is caused by the ferret core or wiring of an inductor fracturing and vibrating (like others said) if you can isolate it to a handful or even one inductor you might be able to put some epoxy on it and let it sit for at least 48hrs (like I said haven't done it) also a brand new coil doesn't whine even outside of human hearing.

I don't know the 'glue' work or not. but pretty sure when use it, warrenty gone.

TUVM, gonna try warrenty tomorrow.
