Video card squeal

[Ruger22C]

in menus of certain games etc, as normal.

However, I can hear it when I move my blasted cursor in firefox and it's a tad annoying.

How do I fix this?

Capacitor whine, usually means nothing. I have had older cards and even motherboards start to squeal before failure. Is the card brand new or older?

 

[Ruger22C]

It's pretty new.

I didn't think it was something to worry about - I want to know how to stop it. 😉

My old 285's squeeled like no one's business; drove me nuts...

From just moving the cursor?

Change your PSU or replace your graphics card to a MSI one. The power circuits on recent graphics cards seem to make certain PSU squeal.

Though i dont know if this applies to the north american products, it doesn't say so on their page.
