coil whine PSU noise

[razihun]

Dear Community!

 

Im facing a really weird issue. Before I start my rig would be

 

PSU: FPS Hexa+ 85 550W

CPU: Intel I5 7500

MEM: ddr4 2133mhz 8gb

OLD GPU: GTX 1050 ti 4gb asus rog

NEW GPU: GTX 1060 3gb gigabyte windforce

 

Now my problem, is that I got a new GPU. There is not much of a difference concerning power but a couple of FPS matters isn't it? As soon as I installed my new GPU i run couple of games most of them on high/ultra settings and had no issues.

The part where I had the issue (for instance on PUBG) my PSU started to make a really weird noise. And it was really loud too. So it is not doing it all the time and its silent while im using the PC like for browsing or movie or anything.

It's so loud it scarres the s** out of me so basically i cant play with those games because Im afraid its gonna ruin my hardware.

 

My PSU has still warranty on it, however I might need to upgrade to a stronger one. Does anyone else has/had similar issues like this?

 

Thank you for your answers in advance. If i havent shared any information I can detail it even more. And sorry for my english it's not my native

 

Have a nice day,

Well your PSU isn't great, but 550W is plenty.

 

Replace it with a better unit. Check the PSU tier list in my signature and get something T3 or higher.

Thank you for your quick answer.

 

Yes, I was actually checking the Corsair RMx Series 650W PSUs. At my vendor it has 10 years of warranty and no guarantee for no coil whine.

 

And also thanks for sharing this list with me.

 

Have a nice day.

Yeah... That's common for the topology that PSU uses and 1060 and higher graphics cards.  If it bugs you, you really should get a better PSU.
