Hello! I'm just getting started with PC systems. You mentioned hearing some noise from your PSU after installing the RX 6600. It sounds like it might be coming from the power supply, especially when you're using demanding tasks like gaming. That's understandable—noise can be a sign of potential issues. Here are some videos you recorded that show what you're experiencing: [link 1] and [link 2]. The third one isn't very loud, so you might need to increase the volume to hear clearly. Your system setup includes an i3 10100f, RX 6600, NVMe SSD, H510M-A Pro from MSI, Power 9 500W, and Be Quiet! PSU. It's good to be cautious about possible damage if something fails.

Coil whine is a guaranteed feature. Industry requirement. No exceptions. Apologies.

The coil noise is probably due to the graphics card you just put in, not the power supply. Avoiding it is nearly impossible except by trying homemade fixes to reduce vibration in the coils or inductors.

Adjust the frame rate in games or increase graphics quality for better visuals. If top FPS matters, prioritize performance over graphics.
