You're experiencing coil whine on your PC, despite trying various power supplies, GPUs, and even replacing the motherboard. The issue seems to originate from the VRM under load and possibly the GPU. It might be worth considering upgrading to a B560 model or selling the current one if the problem persists.
Coil whine originates from coils that are common in many places. They resemble small doughnuts encased in copper wire. Identifying the source of the whine is the first step. Replacing parts only when necessary would be pointless if the whine isn’t present. Coil whine itself doesn’t perform any function, but it can be bothersome. I’ve heard about creating field serviceable ear horns and stethoscopes for directional purposes. The most straightforward idea I’ve come across is a rolled piece of paper shaped into a cone. Another suggestion was a rubber hose with a tiny funnel at the tip.
