My current build
CPU: I5-3570K @4.2 GHz 1.130v
GPU: Gigabyte AMD Radeon HD 7970 OC Edition
Memory: 2x4GB Corsair Vengence DDR3 1600MHz
Storage: 1tb WD Black HDD
CPU Cooler: hyper 212 EVO w Noctua fan
Case: CM Storm Scout 2 White Fans: 2x Cooler Master stock 120mm fans in front and 1 120mm Corsair in the back
PSU: Corsair CX750W
I have had coil whine or certain games it seems to be random which games from what I can tell some games do some don’t. I was advised that it could be the gpu if you’ve ever had a strange noise coming from your pc you’d know it can be hard to pinpoint exactly where it’s coming from. I ran furmark to stress test the gpu and after a few minutes there was no noticeable coil whine so I assume that it is the power supply. I always use headphones so it doesn’t really bother me it seems to be in some games the higher the FPS the louder it gets and vsync tends to help. I want to get an upgrade and was thinking about getting either an SSD or some more RAM but maybe a PSU would be a good idea anybody have any advice? By the way my system is about 4 years old and the only thing I’ve ever upgraded is 2 fans. Today I launched a game (Fortnite) and it started in Fullscreen Windowed mode for some reason and then I got greeted with a blank red screen and a reboot. Because of this I clocked down to 4.0Ghz and kept the same voltage. I ran prime 95 for almost 24 hours at 4.2 so I don't know if it's related I'm just sick of all these issues and don't know what it is.I also have an issue where when I put my PC in sleep mode sometimes it won't come out of it. It won't turn off it's just nothing will happen forcing me to switch it off with the power button.
