hey guys so my machine had a circa 2010 setup for ages. i7 2600K, GTX680(bit newer), P8P67 pro, and my power supply was a PC power & cooling silencer 750w. everything was water-cooled. It had a reasonable coil squeal/cricket on speed noise but nothing really noticeable. I'd say it got worse at the years went on.
fast forward to this decade and I've swapped my motherboard, cpu, ram and gpu. I now have a Ryzen 5 3600, B450F strix, and an RX5700XT anniversary. Everything is still water cooled including a back-plate on the GPU. I still have the PCP&C 750w PSU.
I still have the squeal and the squeal is pretty bad. it's noticeably loud actually. I haven't yet tried to figure out which components are emitting the sound but it is in tune with game performance and sounds like like sqealing coils / vrms etc that changes tone with FPS.
My question is, could this be the PSU? perhaps the sound isn't emitting from the PSU, but could the power that the PSU is serving then cause this issue down the line? it's the oldest part of my system now and it's never let me down but i'm thinking it's dated now.
cheers
