Coil whine

[Kamalraj07]

Recently, I’ve noticed high pitched noises coming from my system but can’t really tell if it’s my GPU or PSU. Is there any fix for this issue? Even with my headphones on, the high pitch noise pierces through it. Also if I managed to find the source of the coil whine, is that component eligible for RMA?

A bad PSU can cause the GPU / motherboard to whine

That's how electricity works.

Open up the case and put your master ears near the graphics card cos
100% noisy

if ur only using 1 pcie cable to gpu, try using 2 separate pcie cables to see if dat can mitigate the whine...

My guess would be those trail sockets you are using if any. Try plugging only your pc directly to a wall socket and check the difference.

I’m guessing this might be the reason too.. My wall socket is far away from my pc. I need to bridge 2 extenders to reach the wall.
