When the GPU fans start at 30% speed, a subtle low-frequency buzz appears. Once the fan speed climbs above 35%, the noise diminishes and stabilizes around 71-100%. This isn’t a problem—just background sound. It shouldn’t affect performance or cause damage.

It’s not necessarily an issue; some players experience unusual sounds within specific noise levels, appearing as pulsations, especially when playing at certain speeds.

The problem seems to be related to fan coil whine. Before I had a GPU, I experienced fan sounds around 40-50%, which didn’t bother me as long as temperatures were normal. It doesn’t appear to be a major concern.

It’s not the whine from coils, but the fan’s vibration. A certain frequency can make the noise worse if the fan isn’t perfectly balanced. It’s not a big problem now, but it may eventually damage the bearing. You’ll notice it gets much louder when the bearing fails.
