The B650m Aorus Pro can produce power section coil whine.
Hi, I’m experiencing some issues with my new motherboard. I’ve noticed unusual noises coming from the back near the CPU socket, especially when Windows starts loading. I recorded these sounds and saved them as longer audio files. Over time, the noise becomes less obvious but still present. It matches exactly what I hear in my PSU Corsair CX650M, while it’s silent in the BIOS. When the CPU is under load—like during Prime95 tests—I’m completely quiet. I checked some forums and disabled all C-states in the BIOS, which reduced the noise significantly. Now it seems to disappear. Should I consider sending the motherboard for replacement? I’ve also reset the C-states to AUTO and tried some tests, but the sound still occurs when scrolling or moving the mouse. The audio files I recorded are available for download.
