Buzzing noise

[SIRtaco]

So, recently this morning I have come across a rather strange issue (i swear its one thing after another with this pc). I was playing battlefield 1 with my speakers on, and I noticed a buzzing noise, I then turn down the volume and here a rather bothersome buzzing noise. I thought that it might have to do with my case/pc fans being a little dusty and I dusted everything, even made sure if there was a fan cord hitting anything to trigger that noise, but nothing. After I dusted it off, I gave the computer a rest. I was hoping it would fix the problem but its still the same problem. While im typing this topic, there is no noise. it only seems to happen when I play graphically intense games, everything does seem but I just wanna know exactly whats going on, before I actually wind up having to replace anything. My speculation is that there is something going on with my graphics card, but I just dont know whats going on (I swear this computer is gonna be the death of me). heres my specs just in case

CPU: Ryzen 7 2700x

Ram: Corsair vengeance lpx 3000 16gb ram (currently running at 2933 because i cant get it to go to 3000)

GPU: MSI gtx 1060 6gb

Storage: 3TB WD purple hardrive

PSU: EVGA 650 80+ gold

Monitor: MSI 1080p 144hz monitor

That would be coil whine. It happens mostly in Graphics Cards during intensive usage, like gaming.

It is also perfectly normal and nothing to worry about.

im not entirely sure if it was always there since i just noticed it today. Is there anyway to reduce the sound? because idk, it doesnt sound normal to me

Just because it wasn't there before, doesn't mean it won't stay.

And there are only two fixes: sound-proof the case or try a RMA. But not all companies do returns due to coil whine. 

 

And it might not sound normal, but it is. Coil whine, simply put, is the vibration of said coil on your GPU caused by passing electrical current. The more current, the louder it gets.

 

In a way, be glad your PSU is not having coil whine as well:)

Sometimes changing PSU could fix it so if you have a spare you could try it.  

 

Some run run GPU intense benchmarks like unigene heaven for 24 hours.  They call it "burn in" method I believe.

 

Limiting fps can keep the noise down.  I'd get whine if fps shot over 150 so I limited fps to 120 and that quieted it down.

 

Search around and try testing these out. Good luck
