Question Strange noise emanating from the CPU or GPU.
Question Strange noise emanating from the CPU or GPU.
Hi. I noticed an unusual buzzing or beeping noise you mentioned. I've attached a link with the sound. When I opened the backplate, it seemed to come from the processor area. The noise only happens when the PC is idle, and it disappears during gameplay. What could be causing it? Is this typical?
Sounds like the VRM area of the motherboard, but it's an assumption with what limited info you've provided. Roll up a sheet of A4 paper into a cylinder, then hold one end to your ear while the other end is used to probe for the source of the noise.
We're also going to need your system specs. Please list them like so:
CPU:
CPU cooler:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:
Monitor:
include the age of the PSU apart from it's make and model. BIOS version for your motherboard at this moment of time.
I5 12600kf model
First player uses mothra mt240
Aorus b760 elite ax with DDR4
32gb RAM
2tb SSD
Rtx 4060 Ti from MSI Ventus 3x
Corsair cv650 (1 year)
Operating system: Windows 11
Bios version not confirmed
Audio source appears to be from the CPU area
Many watts in processor, graphics card ++, for the specific power supply, which is bronze and is not one of Corsair's best.After a year of operation (and you certainly play games, it probably needs a change)
*** Put your ear to the water cooling pump, there is a chance that it will make noise
