TwiztedDerp Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 So I have been trying to figure this one out, only happens when in Warframe, but I get this annoying buzz noise from my PC, seems to be with the graphics card, does anyone else get this, and does anyone have a fix for it? I have tried messing around with VSync settings and no improvement there. Any help is appreciated. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[DE]Xander Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 If it's not coming from the fans, I've heard of some power supplies causing extra strain on the graphics card and creating a similar noise. Do you happen to be using a Corsair CX series power supply? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solstrome Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Is it physically comming from your graphics card or are you hearing it through your headphones/speakers whenever the graphics card is in use? If it's the latter then I think I know what the problem is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coatduck Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 I had this for a while. What was happening was when my CPU fan cranked into high gear, it started vibrating my case, which was rattling my expansion slot covers against my PC case. I just pulled them out, wrapped them in electrical tape and stick them back in. I still get rattling from time to time but honestly I just punch my PC case a few times and it knocks it back into place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwiztedDerp Posted September 24, 2015 Author Share Posted September 24, 2015 I do not have a Corsair CX series power supply....I have Thermaltake 850w modular, its a beast....its like a static noise coming from my case when I go into game.....when I exit out, the static goes away.....If I alt tab out of game the noise is not present either.....its really strange and annoying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DecapitatingJim Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 (edited) That might be coil whine. I had the same with my GTX 970. It's very noticeable in Wf if you have your frames unlocked because they run so high. Is it anything like these? If it is those there's not a lot you can do to get rid of it apart from capping your frames or "burn the card in". Ie let it run something intensive for a day or so and it might get rid of it. The second video has a lot of info about it. If your mobo has an on-board graphics chip thing though you should take your GPU out, run a game off your Mobo and see if it makes the noise.

TwiztedDerp Posted September 25, 2015 Author Share Posted September 25, 2015 Not quite as high pitched but sorta like that......I did cap my frames to 50 and its not as bad......if i cap my frames any lower it affects performance.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it similar to the last video by any chance? That one was pretty much the same as I got. If lowering your frames helped then it most likely will be coil whine. Try running some benchmarks or take your GPU out to pinpoint it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwiztedDerp Posted September 25, 2015 Author Share Posted September 25, 2015 Yup, just like the one in the last video is it..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solstrome Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 If it's coil whine then there's a much easier way to check than messing with settings or taking apart one's PC. Just plug your headphones in elsewhere. Coil whine typically only causes problems if your ports for audio equipment are poorly shielded against noise. For me it was as simple as plugging them into the back of my tower (into the motherboard) rather than he front as most case manufacturers skimp on that feature.

Uh...Coil whine is a physical noise, it has nothing to do with where the headphones are plugged in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though USB headsets and low fidelity headphones don't have this issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
