Hey all,

My card makes a high pitched buzzing noise when under a certain graphical strain. The noise pitch is related to whats going on on the screen. It rarely happens but is especially prominent in some pc game load screens and cinematics (the most severe case is in Lego marvel superheroes).

Is anyone else experiencing this? Is it a card fault or just the natural whine of the electronics on this model?

Any help appreciated,
Thanks
Val

It sounds like coil whine. Keep an eye on the GPU fan speed when it happens. If you figure out it's doing it at a certain fan speed, you can adjust the fan curve to exclude that particular range.
