kredes Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 So, earlier today.. i suddenly hear Coil whine / noise from a hardware component in the PC. i wasnt quite sure if it was the graphics card or the PSU. There is no noise at all to hear, when i have my system running idle, but if i were running a game, i could suddenly hear low noise / coil whine. i was reading the sticky post about noisy PSU's, and i tried forcing V-sync on in my 3D graphics settings. THis helped totally, and 100% stopped the low coil whine / noise. So, does this mean that there is something wrong with my current graphics card? or could it still be the PSU, im a bit confused, since my PSU is not older than 2 weeks, which i got after my last was send to RMA. My PSU is a Corsair TX 650w V2, and my graphics card is a GTX560-ti HAWK, from MSI, which is about 2 years old. Im worried since i want my system to run as smooth as possible, and im gonna replace the part that causes this, and it's not all games i can force V-sync on, like fps games. I filmed this short video, when idling in windows, and my PSU makes very low electronic sounds, is that normal? does all PSU make that low electronic noise? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EL9Nyx5L50E&feature=c4-overview&list=UUWa4AuuWxUhZBe8riEjCPKw the first few noises, is from my cellphone... maybe you can't hear anything, and it's just me. but there was something when running in high graphics load EDIT: i will try to take my PSU out tomorrow, and be sure to see if it's the GPU or PSU which makes the low Coil whine noise, i really don't hope it's the PSU.. the graphics card i can live without a couple of weeks, but not the PSU again :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
