Powersupply causing GPU to whine

[ethebigd]

Could it be possible that my Antec HCG-850m cause whine in my graphic card? I isolated the noise and it's cleary comming from the graphic card.

 

My graphic card is a gigabyte G1 gaming 980ti.

that's definitely possible. even the best psu line-up can sometimes cause a gpu to coil whine. it sucks, but the only way to fix the coil whine is a completely other psu. But i wouldn't take the risk of the other psu also causing the gpu to whine.

 

also, do you have speakers connected to the pc? the speakers may also make the frequency of the coil whine, making it even louder. (i have that with my screen integrated speakers, but not with my "big" set-up)

I've got logitech 5.1 surround ... I might try unconnecting them... its kinda dumb if it's that because I play mainly without headset

its possible

its 50/50 either your GPU or your PSU

 

only way to know for sure is to test with another power supply

Should I try with a cheap psu just to see ... I dont want to spend like 120-150 on quality psu to test it (ive already paid mine like 150 CAD)

that might not be beneficial 

although a good cheap power supply would be something like this https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/product/nB3RsY/seasonic-power-supply-s12ii620bronze

A Seasonic S12 is essentially what OP has, bar he has the higher-end version that isn't quite as bad. That said, your PSU is definitely not the thing causing your GPU to coil whine. It's luck of the draw with GPUs how much coil whine you get. My 970 has the worst coil whine of any GPU I've ever had. You can hear it through my O2/ODAC which is plugged into the USB upstream ports on my Dell Ultrasharp. That's just crazy

 

You're gonna have to live with it man.
