Buzzing GPU

[LukePiewalk3r]

Hi All, fairly new to all this (about 2 month in from my first build)

when I fire up a game i am getting quite a loud buzzing noise. it seems to be coming from my GPU (2070 super Gigabyte OC)

 

thanks in advance.

You aren't mistaking this for coil whine by any chance? Here's an example of coil whine. 

 

 

But effectively, when a GPU is under load, there can be "whining" or a "buzzing" sound coming from your gpu. If it is coil whine, there's not much you can do about it. Maybe if you contact Gigabyte, they might (but I doubt it) rma it for you and maybe you'll get another card that has "less" coil whine.

thanks for the reply but no. its a constant frequency and settles down if i touch the backplate.
