hey, man did you figure this out? I got the same thing. Its coming out of my corsair psu. Oddly enough, i can replicate it by stressing the cpu. I wonder if it is because of power draw or shielding. I'm thinking about putting a wire mesh over it just to see if it does anything.
@MrLuke314 No i can not get the noise by just stressing the cpu. I have test it with prime95 and the noise is not there. I have it only when I load up games with high fps...
@christeribaren I just spent two hours removing my corsair PSU and switching it with an OCZ PSU. I've swapped them from two seperate builds. I can say definitively now that it is the TX650's fault. I am not sure about your problem as it is graphics related... have you tried an integrated solution, just to see if it is the card?
@MrLuke314 I have tested with an XFX 850watt PSU and with an 650 watt coolermaster PSU. And they sounds exactly the same as the TX650. That is why i suspect the GPU (XFX HD5870)
The sound claerly comes from the PSU. But it is the graphiccard thats generates it... I changed from an 1366 board to 1155 board with an 2600k cpu. The sound is exactly the same...
@christeribaren YES its PSU, i bet U have CORSAIR, ALL CORSAIR have the same stupid FABRIC problem. Turning off VSYNC, C1E and bla bla, U buy system for your own goods and now u have too take all off CARDS and staff like that becus of a PSU that cost half of your PC. This is not the way...
@Prison2010 Yes i have one corsair TX650. But i have tested the system with two other brands (coolermaster650 watt and XFX core edition 800 watt) and the noise is still there... strange
@christeribaren Hey! I bought Corsair 650TXV2 (i5-2500k, asus p8p67, 8Gb kingstone grey, WB black sata3 1GB, 560 ti SOC 1000ghz) and is silent:) really, no coil noise, never! i only hear my hardrive only. All staff like C1E is on, Vsync off and is quiet.
Ive started many threads on forums but no real solutions cept ditch the SSD. Im pondering on changing CPU the only thing I havent tried. Goodluck & keep us updated. Can find my thread on Overclockers forum
I ordered a new mother from another manufacturer, and i bought a new XFX 850 watt power supply. And the squeeling niose is still exactly the same...
What is going on here??? I have tested. 3 different PSU from 3 differrent manufacturer. 3 Motherbords and 2 graphiccards. Its just cpu and ram that is the same in all configurations. Dont think it is the Cpu, sounds nothing when i stress it with prime95.
@Hydr0X7 It is my powersupplay that generates that noise in the video. I started up my PC outside the chassi, just so i could hear exact where the noise came from. It is clearly the PSU that generates the sound. And yes its souns only in games...
@christeribaren same here i wonder ... if its the new cpu state c3 c6... things that make the noise ... shuting it off not helping either but still. replaced psu Gpu MB and still same noise in games i have a feeling its the i5 engineering system has a flaw :s not seen same noise in i3 or i7 systems i wonder if the new i5 sandy bridge till suffer from this not that rare illness .
Have you checked the Video card? I heard from bad coils on ATI 4000 and 5000 series and the GTX200 series Especially when in some game menu and VSync is off as standard. In some game menu(e.g. Crysis) you get more than 3000FPS and the coils of the video card went noisy.
Its not the motherboard. Its the powersupply thats generates the high pitched noise. Never the less. I returned my motherboard and PSU. And got two new units. And can you belive it is exactly the noise. Two brand new components. And the sound is the same.
Yes movieclipp I took is in the menu of "stalker call of pripyat" and I belive i got over 1000 fps there. V-sync helps alot in games that have it...
I had exactly the same problem, same PSU, I RMA'd it and got a TX650M back, no noise now

From another video someone said it was the do with the power supply to the harddrive that it wasnt volted properly or something.

Im pretty sure its the gpu. It does this sound in game when there are high FPS (mostly in menus, loading screens etc)
Try to turn on Vsync and you will see that i am right

Try to disable the enhanced halt state C1E from the bios, it solved this problem on my gigabyte x58 board

@christeribaren next bequiet PSU (after computex)
is study to have a very low electrical noise well maybe you can try a bequiet E8 80+gold (not already out but soon)

glue ing the coil stops the noise, but mine has a case covered like yousr, anyone know how to stop the cased ones?

@christeribaren why only in games?
Hydr0X7 1 year ago
@Hydr0X7 probably because the power supply needs to draw more energy in game

Jocarl1215 1 year ago
@Jocarl1215
I have done some research and some people say the noise is related to the power supply.
I tested with another PSU in my computer, the noise did not go away....
I still think it is my motherboard,
