High pitched noise

[lullemannen90]

Hello!

 

As of today my computer has started to make a high pitched/wailing noise when I do something "intense" like playing Battlefield 4, or even when I quit the game. It souns like it's coming from the PSU. I have had trouble with it making making weird sounds before. Can it be that it is failing or can it be something else? I tried to disable some settings in the BIOS, because others have have had similar problems, but with high pitched sound coming from the MOBO, but that did not work for me. Any ideas of what it can be and how to fix this? Computer specs listed below . Some parts are kinda old, so it would not suprise me if something is failing. 

 

 

 

• CPU
  Intel Core i7-860 @3.60Ghz
• Motherboard
  MSI P55-GD65
• RAM
  8GB Kingston ValueR DDR3 1333MHz
• GPU
  Asus GTX 770 DirectCU II
• Case
  Antec Nine Hundred Two (midi tower)
• Storage
  Western Digital Caviar SE16 500GB
• PSU
  Chieftec Super Series 650W PSU

I'd buy a new PSU, that doesn't look safe to me. But no it's probably just coil whine.

I would try a different psu and see if the problem persists (If you have one available to you to use)

The lesson here may be to never cheap out on a PSU

Probably the GPU who exceed the frequency of your monitor try to activate the V-Sync on your games.

Enabling V-Sync did not help. I tried to locate the sound when trying V-Sync and it mostly sounds from the PSU, but yet a bit like it's coming from the graphics card too. But what kind of PSU would you guys recommend? I've been looking on the Cooler Master G650M, might it be any good?

Probably better to cheap on well known brands.
