Do you have any idea if this sound is typical? My 990 Pro 2TB SSD is installed on a B650E-E Asus motherboard. At first boot, I heard an unusual noise and silenced my fans using Icue to pinpoint the source. Even without considering the pump's sound, the issue seems linked to the SSD slot. I've tried various games and the noise persists. It's also present during system startup. The Samsung Magician shows a steady 50°C.

Verify the temperatures of the SSD.

Isn't that just the pump sound? It has no moving components or resistance inside an NVMe drive.

You can disconnect your pump to determine if the issue originates from it.

Yes, it's about how the information is presented—software or bios.

Software from the AIO creator of FanControl should be used briefly only; otherwise your CPU may overheat within 30 seconds.

To prevent overheating, you can connect a paperclip between pins 3 and 4 on the lockclip side of your 24-pin plug. This stabilizes the power supply once you flip the switch. If you still feel the noise, it might not be an NVMe drive but rather an issue with the pump power. Remove the pump power connector, disconnect it, and see if the sound stops. If it does, replace the pump; otherwise, it may need repair.

I'm exhausted and can't pinpoint the source of the noise. I only notice it during gaming, and the temperatures look normal. It might be best to accept it right now.

I discovered it was coil whine. I just realized this issue exists 20 seconds ago. Linus even posted a video about it back in 2013. It bothers me, but I can’t do anything about it—it doesn’t harm the GPU. As someone who built my first PC, I know not many people are aware of it, though even older graphics cards can make this annoying and unsettling sound. Hope this helps someone. PS: It’s definitely coil whine, not just because the noise sounds similar to other clips I found online, but also because it happens when the GPU is using a lot of power.

Coil whine is a common issue that varies between brands. You can't really fix it except by returning the faulty component and getting a replacement from another manufacturer. Parts with coils will naturally produce more noise, which is why PSUs, GPUs, and mainboards tend to have it. NVMe drives are less prone to this problem.
