#PC sounds like a plane trying to take off

Upgraded my gpu today, ive not paid much attention to it. But I am now, and I cannot tell if it is the CPU or the GPU... or the case fans.
I changed bios settings for case fans to be powered from DC to PWR. But it hasn't helped. I've no idea how to fix it, if I can even do that.

Ive got a H510, Ryzen 7 5800x3d with an aftermarket cooler, 4070 Ti Super Inno3D 2x fan and 3 stock case fans.

#

I don't think it's the GPU, it couldn't cause this much noise, and on the otherhand if CPU is 1200rpm what the hell is causing it.

molten valley
#

Cleaned the CPU and case fans

#

Still sounds like shit

#

Fuck this

molten valley
#

any idea?

#

i honestly cant tell what to do here

#

it's too loud

#

gpu stays at like 60c max

#

so i dont understand why it goes batshit crazy

#

cpu too

stiff sable
#

You could try tuning the fan curves, or seeing what temp probe is being referenced for the fans

molten valley

#

If there is one thing I DONT recommend doing, its opening those.

#

that thing can easly shock and kill you

#

you can blow off the fan, but I highly advise against any contact with any of that

molten valley
#

i used some compressed air

stiff sable
#

well it isnt just stupid, accidents happen even to the smartest.

molten valley
#

anyway. it seems quieter. but coil whine is crazy

#

coil whine and the cpu i think

#

which i just dont understand

#

it's like a buzzing sound like it's hitting something but theres nothing there

stiff sable
#

coil whine you cant exactly help, the cpu, see if you can turn the fan curves down in the BIOS without temps getting too high

molten valley
#

the temp of cpu

#

is like 51c

#

well. i got a different issue to diagnose now, one monitor doesnt turn on anymore... i plug in 1st displayport, 2nd one turns off.

#

This coil whine stuff is just new to me

#

I had a 1070 ti before the 4070 ti super, and ive never heard it before

#

never mind

#

i think it's not any more quieter

#

was wasting time

#

well, the worst part is

#

i cant possibly know

#

whether its the cpu or the gpu or the power supply

#

and it could just be that the power supply is too weak to handle a 4070 ti super, ryzen 7 5800x3d, 2 m.2 ssds and 32 gb ram. 735w raidmax psu but i have no idea

stiff sable
molten valley
#

no signal

#

it seems to be

#

i plug in monitor 1 dp

#

that works

#

monitor 2 dp that is already plugged in and works turns off

#

so i dont know.

#

weird

#

maybe i need to clear cmos

#

also, thing to note is that

#

the gpu blocks the pch fan entirely

#

in bios i remember that being at 3000rpm

#

at idle i dont hear it so i dont know maybe its not it

#

Yeah

#

This is nothing to do with the gpu or cpu

#

This is all PCH

#

I am almost positive

stiff sable
#

thats highly strange... does windows display report a second display being connected at all?

molten valley
#

as for the noise issue

#

i am almost certain it is caused by the pch fan on the motherboard. it is blocked by the gpu, and that maybe causes it to go lunatic mode.

#

cause as you suggested

#

i turned down the cpu

#

it's currently at 790 rpm

#

gpu at 1300rpm

stiff sable
#

there is a chance. can you open the case and listen closer?

molten valley
#

disregard the display issue

#

just fixed it switched ports around a few times

stiff sable
#

alright

molten valley
#

i honestly cant tell

#

it's just too hard

#

while i hear it loud and clear from my table, i come down there i cant tell what it is

#

the gpu, pch, or the cpu

#

my bet it's the pch.

#

Yeah

#

it's quite warm

#

even hot

#

the pch part

stiff sable
#

by pch you are referring to the south bridge yes?

molten valley
#

Yeah i think

#

It's just flawed design

#

I cant believe it

#

It's so mind blowingly stupid

#

The board is literally camed

#

TUF GAMING

stiff sable
#

the south bridge making that much noise is strange...

molten valley
#

yeah but the gpu's blowing at it

#

ive checked mobo temps

#

they are all normal

stiff sable
#

do you have space to install the card in the bottom pci-e 16x slot?

molten valley
#

wouldnt that decrease performance, to be installed in the slot below.

#

i know i tried to use it some time ago but it would never boot.

stiff sable
#

it is likely its a 8x slot, it shouldnt cause an issue unless its set to a speed the card isnt compatible with. I think single digit performance (%) loss is expected with higher end cards though.

molten valley
#

well

#

i just did that

#

still seems to ramp up

#

let me see if it continues

stiff sable
#

it would seem strange that the fan runs that high at all times

#

check board info and see if it has a means to turn the fan down in bios

molten valley
#

ive looked

#

it's a common issue

#

then again, it may be bad airflow. ive no idea

#

as for the bottom pcie, i think its 16x, ive read that before i did it. not sure

#

no difference in perf

#

so i dont understand

#

700rpm cpu

#

1500rpm gpu

#

auxfanin2 3245rpm

#

i would have thought that moving the gpu to the 2nd slot would have done some good

#

but it's actually no better

#

Disregard what i said again

#

Not the pch fan

#

just set it to 0 rpm

#

that thing can be barely heard at all

#

But I still can't tell what the hell it is then

#

It is not the PCH, and if the CPU is 779rpm then it shouldnt even be that.

stiff sable
#

can you stop the pch fan with your finger and see if its still making noise?

stiff sable
molten valley
#

its not the issue that i thought it was

#

turning it off and on makes no difference to the noise

#

If i were to put my money on it, it’s the PSU

stiff sable
#

you might be right then if everything else reports low rpm or you have verified is quiet

molten valley
#

I’ll do 1-2 more tests with gpu and cpu

#

But it must be the psu, i guess it cant handle the new gpu

stiff sable
#

have you calculated wattage of the system?

molten valley
#

It’s a Raidmax 735W, i hear not great things about it.

molten valley
stiff sable
#

yeah thats high

#

I think your guess of the power supply is fairly well backed

molten valley
#

Replacing it with this ASUS TUF Gaming 750 Bronze rated one

#

So this one is B tier

#

The current one I have is E tier (avoid)

#

Let's hope it works

#

But yes, it's almost definitely the PSU

molten valley
#

Okay so

#

It was the PSU

#

Still

#

it is the loudest component even after upgrading to the ASUS

#

Benefits are that the PSU is superior, it works much more quieter, preferably I would want to not hear it at all, but I guess that's not possible?

stiff sable
#

so generally, the lower the 80+ rating, the more energy you loose to heat in the AC -> DC conversion process, and the more the fan has to work.

molten valley
#

I guess you're right though

stiff sable
molten valley
#

Cant tell

#

why i went for that piece of shit psu anyway

#

I think it's because it was modular

#

But apparently it's absolute dogshit and is miracolous it hasn't blown up in these 6-7 years i've had it.

#

It is a shame though, most psus here advertised

#

are 2nd rate brands

#

This ASUS one I was quite lucky to get, as it was locally available. And it's B tier apparently, so mid range.

stiff sable
#

If it works, it works. I also advise if you can, move your rig away from directly next to where you sit if you are trying to dampen noise

molten valley
#

that caused performance issues

#

i didnt notice it when playing other games

#

but in last of us it was quite apparent

#

i was getting 66-70 fps andn that wasnt right

#

after moving it back it came back to 90-120 on average.

#

yeah it definitely wasnt pch fan

#

it's a lot more quiet, quiet enough that it doesnt sound like an engine.

stiff sable
#

strange that the card is experiencing such drops in performance in the primary slot though...

molten valley
#

no i mean

#

it was in the 2nd slot

#

and it was at 4x

#

now it's back at 16x when in primary

stiff sable
#

oh your wording made it sound like you moved it to the 1st and it started having issues

#

all good

#

thats normal then

molten valley
#

overall everything seems much better. gpu doesnt seem to whine as much either.

#

if i upgraded to the 7900 xtx that would have been probably the tipping point for that other psu.

#

i think anyways

#

was already the tipping point, but i never paid much attention to it. cause the silence is day and night when i turned it on today the first time after changing the psu.

#

it's barely audible.

#

only when gaming you can hear it

#

interestingly enough

#

space marine 2

#

30 fps 1080p lol

#

it was 2-3x before at the 4x slot

#

no idea why on this game its worse so much

#

40% usage

#

Thats really interesting

#

Just went back to normal all of a sudden

#

nvm disregard

#

2nd monitor causes 2-3x drop

#

if a video is playing
