3: So I'm sure its the fan but I wanted a second opinion.. Its only when I start using Boinc at anything higher than 50 percent usage, it starts to make a whining sound that almost.. It kind of sounds like bad brakes on a car? Its only when I do that though. When I play an intensive game it doesnt make the noise. Should I be replacing the CPU fan soon? (Its stock) It does not make the noise at any other time.

Specs? AMD or Intel?

Intel i5 3570k owo

 

 

Try connecting one fan to 4 pin molex from your PSU, then boot up to UEFI/BIOS. Do the same thing with other fan. It doesn't look like it could be a coil whine or anything like that...

I-its only one fan. ;w; The stock..

;W; Noone has any ideas?

You game on it at all? My PC made terrible whining noises with the stock CPU cooler whenever I would start folding. Those little fans try so hard but they really dont cut it

Or run benchmarks. Make the little guy scream, then buy a new cooler

It wasnt as bad, but still present. I dont wanna say its coil whine from the graphics card, since its a 760 xD Can I have them cranked reasonably.. The CPU fan at full tilt doesnt seem to make the noise.. can the CPU make a coil whine? Owo

Download a GPU utility like MSI Afterburner and set a custom fan speed to 20% and run something. That way we can single out if its the GPU or CPU whining.
