Just finished assembling my initial computer. It’s working fine, but when I launch a game it produces a high-pitched whine from the graphics card. Is this typical? TIA! FullSizeRender.MOV

It's perfectly typical and referred to as coil whine.

It's typical, but you can lower it by trying these approaches.

In PUBG I turned on the smooth frame rate setting, which appears to have resolved the audio issues. I plan to check other games to confirm the problem was with the frame rate. After confirming, I’ll post an update here.

The GPU coil whine came from rapid frame rates during certain loading screens and menus. Turning on the Radeon Chill feature reduced the frame rate enough to eliminate most of the noise.
