Power supply requirements for an XFX RX 7600 XT GPU.
Power supply requirements for an XFX RX 7600 XT GPU.
It's a good power supply unit. Your computer should use around 350 to 360 watts when it's running at maximum capacity.
And on the other side, is it typical for your graphics card to emit noise during gameplay? I found that such sounds are common when playing intense games with high or ultra graphics settings and fast frame rates, like the one I experienced at 144 Hz. When I switched to lower graphics settings in the game, the noise disappeared. Even after upgrading to a powerful power supply unit, the card still made a loud sound. I find it irritating because I worry it might cause issues or lead to a shutdown, which would ruin my gaming session.
The card does produce a loud noise, and in the photo you shared the temperature only reached 60°C without exceeding it.

In this video I captured the sound and it matches what you described, including the coil whine. I believe it’s related to the power supply unit as well; it seems the card is quite demanding in terms of power usage and generates a lot of heat. With my older graphics cards, the noise wasn’t as noticeable, regardless of the stress applied.

The higher the temperature of the card, the quicker the fans spin to maintain cooling.
Based on what you mentioned and the image, 99% of the video card with 137FPS means you set it to 60 now, so your card was only operating around 45%.
For coil whine, you can purchase two identical cards—one has it, the other doesn’t.
This suggests the game runs smoothly.
I'm really confused. Just a few minutes ago I was attempting to play at 120hz and the computer shut off, but everything remained on. Only the monitor displayed a white light showing VGA. I'm unsure if the issue is with the power supply not providing enough power to the graphics card or if the video card itself is failing. I'm about to discard the PC. I understand that higher monitor refresh rates require more power from the system, which in turn needs more power from its source to function better. This is the first time I've encountered this problem; it hasn't happened with my previous computer.
The power supply poses a fire risk in areas with numerous gigabyte PSUs that are prone to explosion. View: https://youtu.be/7JmPUr-BeEM?feature=shared I wouldn't rely on a gigabyte PSU if you were paying for it.
Turn off the pc until you swap the PSU. If you have MSI, it should work; it's not the best PSU, but better than a budget one.
I thought it could also be a driver issue, but it isn't. The same situation keeps occurring for me. I contacted the shop to verify the warranty and asked them to inspect the graphics card, to see if it's the card causing the problem. If I had another PC at home, I'd try to eliminate that possibility. I'm starting to think the graphics card might be the issue. I've looked at other cases online where people with the same card didn't have problems, even with a 650W power supply. Some users with an RX 7800 XT and 650W supplies also reported no issues.
the problem lies in the psu's unreliability, doesn't matter if it claims 650w—it isn't guaranteed.
7600xt isn't a high power consumption card, but if the psu is unstable and you power it up, it can harm components like the card or the cpu because these gigabyte psus lack proper overvoltage protection, potentially causing damage or explosion.
these units faced difficulties during the pandemic; gigabyte had to replace some parts due to shortages of standard components or cheaper alternatives available at the time.
that's why many unsuitable units remain in stock.
if you have a working pc with a good psu, try running the card on it.
but i suspect the psu is the main issue.
another option is to update your bios and verify that your cpu is fully supported, as some b550 models require updates.
