Hello! I'm getting coil whine on my brand new Asus z170 Pro Gaming board. Booting with only the barest components, I located the noise. I'm 100% sure it's coming from the CPU-socket area on the board. It happens whenever the CPU is under the slightest bit of load. It's not loud, but it worries me since the components are freshly bought.
No HDD or GPU installed. I'm using only the following components.
- Intel i5 6600k (stock settings)
- Samsung EVO 250gb SSD
- Corsair RM650x (brand new today)
I've also tested with the following PSUs:
- OCZ ModXStream Pro 600w
- Corsair RM550x
Lastly, I've tried disabling the following (both singularly and in combination):
- Intel Speedstep
- C-states
The noise persists under the slightest bit of load.
Should I RMA my board?
