Hissing Noise PC

[razorthekid]

I started hearing a slight whistle noise coming from my PC a few seconds after it boots up now. I dont believe its a coil whine, or the cpu fan. I have only had my gpu a few months and my cpu cooler for a fee months as well. I have had my power supply for about 3 years maybe longer. Is it the power supply most likely? What should I do. I havent used my pc since cause I dont wanna ruin my build with a faulty power supply.

Record it if you can so people can understand.

Not expert here but that does not sound like my whiny PSU, if I am not wrong about what I am hearing, it sound like a fan problem, wait for the experts

Sounds like steam coming out of a pipe, it might also be from air rushing in/out of the case through some hole.

What are your specs? Are you water cooling?

When did this start?

How are your case fans configured? (inflow/outflow)

 

 

 

If you listen closely, it sounds like a kettle boiling water.. maybe your PC was just making tea.

The fans are in the standard places where case fans should be installed. They running at default as well.

Check that nothing is rubbing against the fans. With all your cables hanging all around the place, it might be what's happening. If it isn't it, try to isolate the noise by turning on and off each fan. It sounds like coil whine to me.

Which ones are pull and which ones are push?

This is a possibility as well, try to identify where the sound is most prominent, that should help narrow your field of view

Sounds like coil whine to me. Nothing to worry about, also nothing you can do except maybe exchange the GPU if you can.

Is coil whine just more of a pet peeve? or does it affect performance?

Yeah it's just an annoying noise, it doesn't affect performance. In fact my GTX 1080 that has coil whine vastly overclocks higher than my friends 1080. I eventually put the 1080 in my work pc and put a 1080ti in, but I still game on it occasionally, no affect at all.

Nope, it doesn't affect performance, it's just irritating as hell. Best to make sure it's the GPU that is making the noise though, sometimes fans also do produce coil whine. I won't recommend messing with the GPU to remove the coil whine unless you do know what you're doing, but if it's the fans, it's easy enough to remove.

Could be one of the fan bearing is faulty .
