Gpu: 6700xt red devil
Cpu: 5700x3d
Psu: Montech century II 850w
Motherboard: MSI Mortar b550
Memory: G.skill Trident Z RGB 32gb
Storage: 2tb samsung evo 980 pro
Additional features: Asia horse cable extensions
My 6700XT Red Devil is producing a clicking sound when idle on my desktop. I think it might be coil whine, though I’m not sure. After removing the card, the noise disappears, which suggests it’s not coming from the fans. The card performs well in 3DMark tests. I’ve attached a video of the issue while idle.

Also, the fans aren’t making noise since the card is running in zero fan mode on the desktop.

I wasn't able to detect any clicks directly.
Coil whine isn't a click sound either.
Consider using a cardboard tube or a rolled-up sheet of paper to gently "listen" around the inside of the case and various parts of the GPU.
Focus on identifying where the noise is coming from.

I can verify it originates from the card; it's extremely weak... observe at 0:03 in the video, it becomes more apparent there.
