Strange buzzing from CPU socket

Hello,

 

I was wondering if this is anything to be worried about, it's hard to hear when the case is closed but noticeable when looking inside.

 

Seems to be a strange buzzing coming from or around the CPU socket, I have the MSI Krait Gaming 3X motherboard and an I7 6700K non overclocked. Video link below

 

CPU Buzzing

 

Thanks :D

Just as you installed the CPU a fly must have flown inside the socket. Rookie mistake but don't worry, happens to the best of us.

If it's coil whine, you can't really do anything about it.

Try removing the gpu see if its still there, if it really disturbs you then RMA the mobo or Gpu dpending on what makes the sound

When I put my ear to the GPU it doesn't seem to be coming from that and it not audible outside the case, the vibration of my hard drive is worse. it's loudest at the cut out behind the CPU.

Probably the power delivery system near the cpu causing coil whine.  There isn't much you can do about it and most manufacturers wont accept an rma for it. You can try though. 

 

But at least coil whine can't really be used as a measure for quality.

As long as it's nothing going to cause me problems on the long term it doesn't concern me greatly but I worry about a lot of things and the PC is only a week old so just wanted to make sure to put my mind at ease :)

You're fine.  It might even go away on it's own.  My 290x was very whiny when i bought it,  but has no issues now.

I know this is old now but the sound goes away if I disable Intel C State, So maybe something to do with the power changing?

It's coil whine, sounds exactly like it. No problem, no danger. I would run a fan to drown out the noise if it bugs you, otherwise, it's no problem at all.
