Hey there - just finished a build and noticed a repeating buzzing sound. In about six seconds it switches from silence to a clear hum and back again. It's quite unusual. I changed all the parts, reset everything, and even unplugged/reconnected it. Still puzzled, so I reached out for advice. The machine is running smoothly with no other issues. I can now play Shadows of Mordor in 4K Ultra at 60Hz and it works great. Thanks a lot for your help!

It seems coil whine is present, but a visual or audio clip would clarify its exact nature.

Coil whine is a high-pitched sound often heard in motors or electronics.

I left the machine running for half an hour and noticed the humming when I returned. I captured a short clip of one of the cycles. At first it was just the fan's sound, then the buzzing grew louder before fading back down and repeating.

I think I might have heard that before, but it doesn’t match the whine I’m used to. It could be related to the hard drive, though I’m not sure.

The power supply is likely around ten years old. The PCI-E connector suggests it's compatible with modern systems, and it should still function well for your current build.

Hey everyone - I figured out my issue and thought you might want to know. I found that touching the tempered glass panel helped reduce the noise, and then I noticed I could tighten the screws even more than before. This should quiet things down. Short version: tighten those screws and it should work. As for why it was a buzzing rather than steady, I don’t have any idea.
