My power supply is producing loud, rapid clicking noises specifically when I play "The Finals" with intense visual effects. I managed to reproduce the sound by using many grenades and triggering simultaneous explosions. Listen to the video—it only happens in this game and not in others. No performance problems were observed (no crashes or anything). Is this something you should worry about? Appreciate any advice! System details: self-built PC OS, Windows 11 x64, AMD Ryzen 7 5800X, Radeon RX 6700 XT, Asus Strix B450, 750W PSU (2.5 years old).

It seems the audio isn't quite like what you expect. The video should provide clearer feedback. Have you considered using a different file type? After testing several benchmarks, the results didn’t match the desired sound.

Consider installing MSI Afterburner if you lack a GPU tuning tool. Gradually lower your GPU voltage until problems appear, then restore settings after restarting. Keep track of temperatures before and after adjustments to see any decrease in power usage. Also check your UEFI settings to adjust CPU voltage, test stability, and note CPU and GPU temps during idle and load conditions. Turning off certain CPU cores may help, and listening for clicking sounds can provide additional insight.

I'm having trouble getting the noise back, even when using the same setup as before. I've tried several benchmarks, different games, and nothing worked. I ended up lowering the GPU voltage with the default AMD tool. I think I'll stop playing "The Finals" and see if it returns, but thanks for trying!
