Hello. I built a new computer and everything is okay but yesterday I put my head close to the case and heard this "buzzing" sound coming from the motherboard. I googled a bit and learned about coil whine and the noise is kinda similar to that. It doesn't come from the GPU and it's not from the PSU (the PSU does another sound and I'm awared of that). The sound doesn't distract me at all, it's not loud and I can't even hear it over the noise of the case fans. It comes from the area near the top sink of my motherboard, very close to where the CPU is (as you can see in the picture). I also think that it can be something called VRM that is making that sound. So I wanted to ask what do you guys think? and if it is common and I should not worry about it. Can it damage my computer? The motherboard is a MSI MAG b650 Tomahawk with wifi. Thanks! EDIT: forgot to mention that the sound changes a bit everytime I move my mouse which I find strange.
