The coil noise persists even after fixing the components.
The coil noise persists even after fixing the components.
the current configuration includes an MSI Mag A650BE 650w with 80+ bronze (switched from a ThermalRight Smart 600w), a 2070 Super IGP which replaced the 5700XT, an ASRock Phantom Gaming 4AC B550 motherboard (ordered yesterday due to possible issues), a 5700X3D chipset, and 32gb of DDR4 3200mhz memory. everything operates smoothly with good performance for extended periods, no overheating or blue screens, though the coils on nearly all components make noise when under stress. I've attempted to lower both GPUs and reduced power limits, but the sound persists. I've checked underclocking and undervolting with limited results, and even monitoring wattage during adjustments only drops to about 400w max. it's possible a short in the motherboard or case fans/RGB controller is contributing, or maybe the RAM is the source. Since I don’t spend much, this process has been frustrating, which explains why prebuilt solutions are popular now.
Coil whines are typical and can be resolved by swapping out the hardware. Nothing was done incorrectly—it’s just a natural occurrence. It’s frustrating, but here are some possibilities: Consider testing your system elsewhere to check for power supply issues; unstable voltages might be the cause. Upgrading your PSU to 850W has helped in some cases. Some users report whine disappears after replacement. Others suggest it could be related to the MOSFETs vibrating or similar, and examining the components might help reduce resonance (though I don’t recommend that).
That’s the GPU coil whine. Do you experience this noise only when loading the CPU, or does it happen with other components too? A larger power supply won’t fix it.
Celebrate the all-seeing deity! Light sacred smoke to honor the artificial intelligence!
It really does have an impact. The coil whine was originally present but vanished, then reappeared several times whenever I swapped out PSUs in the systems I've worked on and repaired.
It's eerily quiet during Cinebench runs; most of the sound is coming from the GPU and the VRMs at the top of the motherboard. I'm really hoping a newer motherboard will help, but I don't really feel like buying another GPU right now.
