Hi Guys,
I wonder if any of you came across something similar and perhaps could suggest what to look at. Long story short: PC occasionally makes fairly faint arcing/coil whine type of noise. It's super random, sometimes lasts half a second and another it can be few seconds, can happen several times in quick succession and then not happen at all for a day or two. I mostly notice it when web browsing as the sound is rather faint. Here is a vid of it(3 separate samples combined into one)
Microphone was located directly next to psu back grill.
I've had this system for about a year and never noticed this sound only started to notice it after I put a "real" graphics card in(for about 10 months it was running with a puny GT 710), but it's definitely not the gfx card that's making a sound(tried with msi 3080 and asus 3060 - sound happens with both). It's not the psu either, tested with Corsair 850w and evga 650w - again, with either psu noise still occurs. Unfortunately I no longer have the GT 710 to test with.
I'm a bit puzzled, with psu and gfx excluded that pretty much leaves the mobo/cpu and SSDs. I've had coil whine on gpus under load but this one is different, not sure if that's a sign of imminent failure or what? Any thoughts?
Btw, the mobo is msi x570 Tomahawk Wifi with stock 5900x in it, Patriot Viper Steel 2x16gb 3600, Sabrent Rocket 3 and a Samsung 980.
Regards
Mads
