GPU Weird sound

[iBot]

Hi all,

 

My brother recently purchased a RTX3060Ti OC Edition.  When he plays games and the GPU is under load, it makes a loud buzzing sound.  I've attached a video of the sound it makes when switching between different graphic settings in Borderlands 3 from Normal to Ultra graphics.

I've tried to update all the drivers, downloaded NVIDIA GeForce Experience and updated the GPU.

Re-plugged all the GPU connections to the PSU.

 

Not sure what else I can do to fix this one?  

 

The CPU is Ryzen 5600x

8GB Corsair DDR4

MSI X570 Motherboard

Thermaltake 750W PSU

Most GPUs have coil whine. Some more. Some less. How much your GPU has is pretty much dependant on luck. Even 2 exact same GPUs will have a different amount of coil whine. Most of the time though the fans are louder than the whine. If it's really bad you can send the GPU back and get a new one or contact the support. But most manufacturers won't send out replacements because of coil whine.

It also depends on how your board deals with the whine.

 

My old, H97 board was almost silent with my GTX 980, but my new X570 board... Well, the coil whine is almost a scream with the GTX 980 in this board. Even an external DAC didn't change much.

 

Weather effects it, too. If it's about to rain, its worse. If it is raining, it's almost silent.

 

I might also have a ground problem with my outlet...

Thanks for your guys inputs!  I'll see if changing the voltage to the GPU changes anything.  It could also just be a crappy PSU, that was my initial thought since it was a cheap Thermaltake PSU my brother bought.

PSUs can also have coil whine so there may be some of both going on.
