Hello! After a year owning a GTX 660 Ti, it didn't have any issues so far until now, i started listing some whistle/buzzing noise coming out of the GPU, it only happens when i'm running Battlefield 4, Advance Warfare, Starcraft II and some others demanding games, but not in the game menus or even in cut scenes. Already tried in my sister rig (4690k-8GB RAM-Corsair 650W), re-installing drivers and same result.

My current PC:
AsRock Z68 Extreme3 Gen3
i5 2500K @ 4.5 Ghz
8GB RAM
Corsair H100i
Corsair 650W

Is it normal that my GPU may have the "coil whine" effect after a year of use? Also a just saw that GPU Memory Clock goes full load at 1502.3 Mhz (stock clock) when playing Battlefield 4, don't know if that's normal thought?

GPU temperature goes at 50-60 while playing, Core Clock, GPU Load and Fan Speed are running fine. All the games mention goes at 60 fps with no stuttering or frame drops. I'm a little worry that my gpu could die any day, never had any hardware issue before. Should i start saving for a new graphics card?



 
Solution
Lots of GPU get coil whine. Especially when the card is loaded. Some people try to fix the coil staking eg hot melt glue. Others put up with it.
