Hello Tom's Hardware community. I just recently finished building my first computer and after a series of frustrations with installing Windows I got everything finished. However, the first thing I noticed after completing everything is that there is this weird whining/squeaking noise coming from what I guess is the GPU.
The noise is apparently one of the high pitched sounds that older people cannot hear but younger people can hear. I'm assuming this is true because I told my dad about the noise and he couldn't hear anything but my sister and I could hear it.
I have no idea where to begin and I would greatly appreciate if someone could give me some guidance/insight into this problem. I'm thinking about trying to return the GPU for a new one or something like that. Again, sorry if this post doesn't make any sense, I'm just really frustrated right now. I'll try to provide any information that is needed.
By the way, my build is this:
CPU: Core i5-3570k
GPU: MSI R7850 Twin Frozr 2GD5/OC Radeon HD 7850 2GB
OS: Windows 8 64-bit
MOBO: ASUS P8Z77-V LK
RAM: G.Skill Ripjaw 16 GB (2x8) <-It was on sale so I got it even though I know I will never use so much .
CASE: Rosewill Blackhawk Mid ATX
PSU: Seasonic X-series 80 Plus gold 850w
I'm hoping I didn't bottleneck anything like a noob =/. Again, if any more information is needed just ask and I will try my best to provide it. Thanks again!
