Unusual humming sound coming from the air cooler.
That sounds familiar! Coil whine refers to the buzzing noise you hear when power flows through an inductor and capacitor. It’s completely harmless for your graphics card and doesn’t impact performance or lifespan. This sound comes from the vibration of the coil during operation. Many graphics cards and power supplies produce this noise, though some are more noticeable than others. It tends to increase when the system is under load because more power passes through the GPU’s capacitors, and it diminishes when you’re not using the system as intensely. It’s just a minor annoyance, not a safety concern. Hope this clears things up and eases any worries! The latest video features my MSI RTX 2080 Super Ventus running Mafia 3... that was pretty loud!
