Numerous issues arise from using a fully assembled computer.
Numerous issues arise from using a fully assembled computer.
You're experiencing unusual sounds coming from your GPU and it feels warm to the touch. To install Windows, navigate through BIOS settings as needed. The video you mentioned shows the noise.
your .mov isnt working for me. for installing windows you need a boot usb, boot disk or be capable of PXI booting. If you have another PC download the windows OS and create a boot media. If you do not have another computer you will need to buy a copy of the windows you want which has a boot USB with it. to get to bios most computers use F2 during the posting process to reach that. Once you get the windows boot USB, there is a chance that after plugging it in that it will rifle through and find that in the sequence and boot to the flash drive, if not you will need to get into the BIOS and change your boot order to having the USB being the first stop on the list. As far as the weird noise goes, you can upload your video to a site like Vimeo and post the link from there to the forum so we can get a better idea of if it something to be concerned about. Past all that, please include your PC specs so the hive mind here can get a grasp of what we are dealing with when responding to your specific questions. (for example your Bios key being F2 vs. something else)
Here’s the information you provided:
The system includes an Asus TUF z690 plus with Wi-Fi d4, an Intel i5-12600k processor, an Evga 1080ti sc hybrid (previously used for mining), Corsair Vengeance 2x8, Corsair RM850X, and Corsair H150i Elite Capelix. The GPU doesn’t output video signal; instead, the CPU connects to the monitor.
It seems like you're trying to identify whether your system uses an AIO pump, a fan, or possibly an HDD with a spinning platter. A simple way to verify is by feeling each fan—if the noise disappears when you press your finger against it, it's likely a fan issue. The PSU has a warning label, but I wouldn't recommend removing its guards just yet. Are you using a new AIO?
It's conceivable the AIO isn't the issue, yet you'll need to do even more testing to confirm it.
I focused on the GPU. Removing it resolved the issue, but plugging it back in caused the same problem. I’m certain it’s not the fan on the radiator since unplugging it didn’t fix it. What should I do next? Also, during startup and shutdown, the GPU fan spins briefly before stopping.
GPU fans are easily swapped out. You can order a replacement or bring it to a repair shop for a fix, perhaps using a service like microcenter. A full diagnostic at the shop would also be wise to confirm everything is in good shape. Mining cards usually experience minimal stress, so problems shouldn't arise from that. The fan might just need cleaning; a good clean can often resolve the issue. From what I've seen, once a fan starts making unusual sounds it tends to lead to bigger problems, making replacement a smarter long-term choice.
This seems really frustrating. I thought I’d give it another shot but ended up taking it out and putting it back in—still no noise, the fan isn’t working, and the pump is shaking. It’s weird whether this is typical behavior. During a stress test on a fur mark, it averaged about 173 frames and settled at 49°C. Also, I’m not sure if my CPU was idling properly since I don’t think I connected the cooler correctly. How do I run a proper stress test?
