Hey guys!
So lately i've been benchmarking my GPU - an Asus GTX 770, 2GB version - and everytime i closed my Benchmarking software (Valley 1.0 in this case), i'd get a high-pitch noise from my PC. I later identified it as a noise coming from my 770. It's not OC'd more than Asus has on the stock 770. The high pitched noise isn't very loud, but it can be heard nonetheless.

It doesn't happen very often, like every start up or such, but seems to happen at special fan speeds. I found this happening a LOT when playing Ghost Recon: Future Soldier at the, pretty much, highest settings my card could run it at, and sometimes also when playing Black Flag.

I was thinking of doing an RMA, but if anyone here has a tip or two to fix it, it'd gladly appreciated.

Thanks!

It's probally coil whine, nothing to be scared of as it's normal on gpus :). I had it on my old pc aswell no way of really fixing it ( if it is coil whine ), you will just have to get used to it, or do a rma :)
