Sound during gameplay when using a coil only
Sound during gameplay when using a coil only
I see this sound occurred around 3-4 days ago. Interesting, the coiling noise disappears when I switch to desktop but comes back when I go back to my game. Is this something I should worry about? Built this PC about 9 months ago. No issues so far.
Usually the only issue you should worry about with a video card is if a fan is grinding. Even if it's a coil making noise and it's faulty, manufacturers won't cover it under warranty, and trying to replace a soldered part yourself isn't worth it financially. The fix will come later, but your ears might not be able to pick up these kinds of sounds anymore.
It's not necessary to worry about this. This process is referred to as coil wine and occurs when you achieve over 500 frames per second on an application. Restrict your overall FPS to match the refresh rate of your monitors. For Nvidia graphics cards, adjust the global settings in the Nvidia control panel. For AMD cards, modify the settings in their control panel as well.
