Buzzing noises from components in new computer

[Steve_5.3LS]

I recently put together a new computer to replace my old one as my flagship gaming computer. Once it was all set up I started hearing a buzzing noise which seemed like it was coming from the gpu (rx 6700 xt. Thinking it was coil whine I sent back my gpu for a replacement and temporarily replaced it with my old gpu (gtx 1660 ti) Then that card started buzzing in the new computer. At this point I was stumped and put my 1660 back into my old computer to just play some games for the night when it started buzzing. So, chain of events: 1660 has no buzz, goes into new computer, buzzes, goes back into old computer, still buzzes. I’m thinking my new computers psu is bad so I’m scared to hook that up in case it causes further damage. And input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

How about you start by mentioning the parts you have?

coilwhine can be caused by mobo, gpu, psu... usually its the psu...

also this is not a defect, according to manufacturers,  point is you need start changing out parts if you want to fix it, id start with the psu, because its also kinda random and hard to diagnose the actual cause.

Ok I can return the psu and get a new one. Can psu’s cause permanent coil whine in a gpu? Cuz now my 1660 is buzzing even after switching back to the old computer. Also the buzzing gets louder when fps gets higher but it doesn’t change pitch like I’m told coil whine usually does so idk what’s up with that. Thanks for the help so far!

Can you see if there is something caught in the fan of the GPU, maybe a wire got moved when you were swapping parts? It's a long shot, but if it works it will save you a lost of hassle.

i never heard of this but i guess its possible.

yeah, that seems a little weird ... but it can really differ depends on the application and fps.

no problem.... your best bet is really a new psu, but i cant really give a good recommendation because every system (and part) is different,  hence its a bit random and not guaranteed to fix it at all.

Was a good idea but no luck. Everything looks good there.

Well what I’m confused about is currently I have my old system back together and now it’s buzzing with my old psu and it didn’t used to. Only did it after i briefly swapped my old card into my new computer. I have a new ex 6700 xt coming but honesty I don’t wanna hook it up in case it gets a permanent buzz. I’ll start with the psu regardless. Do you think it’s worth returning and replacing the motherboard too just in case? Either way I’m waiting.
