Taid1927 Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 I recently upgraded my GPU (from a GTX 560 to a GTX 760) and my PSU (to a CX750M) and have noticed what sounds like coil whine during video games. It is a high pitch squeal which changes pitch when you change direction/menu in a game, and becomes significantly quieter when V-sync is turned on. I haven't noticed it when not in game, and it disappears when minimising a game and reappears when maximising. I tested my GTX 760 in a friends computer (RM750 PSU, same motherboard, same CPU - conveniently) and did not notice this buzzing. Is this an issue with the PSU, or the graphics card? Additionally, is this a problem or should I just use my system with V-sync (as I would anyway) and just put up with the quieter noise? Thanks!

Archanfel Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 I had a very similar issue myself a while back. The noise was extremely high pitched whine/squeal that got worse the more intensive a game was. The problem only appeared for me after upgrading from a GTX660ti to an R9 280X so I assume it was down to additional strain on the PSU. I tried the same system using a GTX770 and the noise all but went away completely. My PC is still running with the R9 280X and although I can hear the squeal during more intensive games, I have had no stability issues so I am not very worried about it myself.

Faithh07 Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 It's the gpu because like you said the noise disappears when you minimize your game so the gpu load drops down to zero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
