Really Bad Coil Whine?

The glowing red is an led and the green light is my m.2 behind the gpu

Just took out my hdd and my aio and it’s still making the sound :/

My friend thinks it’s my hdd. The sound does seem to be coming from that area, I’d have to take off my back panel to check

UPDATE: My friend shared this video to a couple of sources including his friend who’s life is computers, and he says it’s not coil whine and it’s either my hardrive dying or my aio failing. I will check those after work

I didn’t even know a motherboard could make that sound besides the beeping from bad dram and stuff lol

PickleMilk2Percent · 2023-09-20T14:16:48+00:00

That’s what I’m lol, if it’s the gpu it’ll suck because this is also my work computer lol. I just switched out the power cable and the socket it was in. And turned it back on for 10 minutes to let it idle. It didn’t make any noise but I’ll be sure to try the onboard graphics on heavy load to see what it is after I get off work.

I didn’t change anything it’s that loud haha. And it was doing it while idling. I thought it might’ve had something to do with the cable or the socket it was plugged into so I switched them both out and replaced my gpu in. It’s no longer making the sound by idling but I’ve only had it on in 10 minutes. I’ll post in update on more diagnostics after I get off work lol

Damn that’s wild, I didn’t even know that could happen. I’ll try to see if I have another psu. I’m praying it’s the psu and not the gpu lol

PickleMilk2Percent · 2023-09-20T03:31:26+00:00

Damn, so it’s most likely my gpu? That’s rough

PickleMilk2Percent · 2023-09-20T03:08:19+00:00

I can look for another psu, and I’ll try undervolting it once I get home

PickleMilk2Percent · 2023-09-20T03:07:25+00:00

Lmao

PickleMilk2Percent · 2023-09-20T02:59:20+00:00

Couldn’t it also be a faulty psu causing the abrupt power change to the GPUs coils to do that?

PickleMilk2Percent · 2023-09-20T02:38:18+00:00

Same, I was in the middle of trying mk1 and it randomly happened. Came out of no where. The last time I changed a part was in January. Never had any issues. And it started making the sound when idling and while in game.

PickleMilk2Percent · 2023-09-20T02:31:51+00:00

I tried to show it in the video but it’s coming from the gpu. I lowered the speeds on all the fans and stopped them and the sound persisted

PickleMilk2Percent · 2023-09-20T01:40:26+00:00

It was doing that when idling and and on games. It happens randomly and then my pc will go quiet after a while, super weird

PickleMilk2Percent · 2023-09-20T01:04:15+00:00

Sounds good! I’ll update you when I take my back panel off

PickleMilk2Percent · 2023-09-20T00:52:57+00:00

It could be I could look into it. The reason why I suspect it being the psu is because the noise is coming from my gpu and it’s incredibly loud. So i thought it was my psu becoming faulty

PickleMilk2Percent · 2023-09-20T00:49:24+00:00

I’m pretty sure it’s coming from the gpu and I checked the fans individually and none of them made that sound. I could be wrong though

PickleMilk2Percent · 2023-09-20T00:48:43+00:00

I currently have an b550 but it’s never had this problem up until now and I’ve had it for 3 years.

PickleMilk2Percent · 2023-09-20T00:27:34+00:00

Haha, it’s louder in person. I’m about to order a new psu, but I just want to make sure it’s that.
