Coil Whine?...
Coil Whine?...
Hello! It looks like you're experiencing a coil whine in your new build, likely originating from the CPU area. The VRM AIO fan has been stopped manually and still produces noise, and disabling BIOS options didn't help. Since no GPU is installed yet, temperatures seem normal and the AIO fan appears to be functioning. You have another PSU planned for testing this week. Any other ideas to investigate or should it resolve on its own? Given the new components, you might want to consider returning the affected unit for an RMA.
This occurs mainly when the load is applied. Coil whine is more common during operation.
I usually notice it during idle or light tasks (like opening a web browser and Discord). It becomes apparent only when running Windows and not in the BIOS. It doesn't show up at all when things are under heavy load—my stress tests with prime95 didn’t detect it.
I don't think your CPU is overclocked. You can use hwinfo64 to check its status and share a screenshot if needed. When you start it, just select the sensors option in Hwinfo.
You may attempt to upload the file by clicking "add files," though I’m uncertain if it accepts .mov formats.
@Levent - No need for overclocking. The system is operating smoothly with only a 3% CPU usage at the moment. Here are the details.
err, yeah... it seems to be coming from the cpu or cooler? i was just asking to see / hear if its actually coilwhine...and im not sure, it could be though. kinda seems coming from the motherboard, vrms maybe (not sure if thats possible? ) but it could also be the fans tbh... i never heard coilwhine from a motherboard, so its difficult to judge for me...
Updated my Windows power plan to "High performance" and turned off C-States once more, but it didn't make any difference.
