Coil hum or something more concerning? Random sounds from your computer.
Coil hum or something more concerning? Random sounds from your computer.
I’ve been using this PC for a few months now, but recently the GPU or PSU has been making static sounds when under heavy use. Should I be concerned or is it just a minor whine? The PSU you have is a Super Flower Leadex 850 Platinum and the GPU is a Gigabyte 7800XT IMG_6940.mov.
It might sound like coil whine, but it's unfamiliar and definitely not pleasant. It's also quite loud. Could you remove the side panel and pinpoint the exact source of the noise?
I'll attempt it once more tomorrow, it's quite late up there :,)
I'll be there then as well, I think. That tone feels electronic, but maybe it's just a fan moving something?
It appears to originate from your PSU, but I'll look for any loose cables near it tomorrow.
Stay informed regularly. Handle the PSU cautiously, even when powered down—it poses a real risk of injury if mishandled.
