I assembled my PC four days ago and this sound has never occurred before tonight. It’s a whining noise from the GPU when it’s under stress. The sound stops right away when the GPU workload drops. I inspected the cables, confirmed everything is secure, and checked that the fans aren’t obstructed. Anyone know what might be causing it or if it’s something to worry about?

You might be dealing with Coilwhine. It’s a harmless phenomenon where coils vibrate due to power flow, causing a mild noise. It’s not harmful to your GPU or its lifespan. Does it sound similar to what you heard?

This seems like a minor issue, just a small annoyance. It helps the performance when the frame rate is stable, so I'll try to keep it under control during intense gaming moments. Appreciate the update!
