    Build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/yq4Mzf My GPU fans are making a horrible grinding noise when I increase the fan speed past a certain threshold. How can I fix this? If this can’t be fixed, I’ll have to return this to Newegg and look for another 6800 XT. I have an ASRock Phantom Gaming RX 6800 XT. Here is an example of the sound starting when my fans go to 100%: https://youtube.com/shorts/UqjJxO8DOOY?feature=share Here’s an example of the sound that consistently happens. The fan speed is at about 60% in this video: https://youtu.be/jWMSqFO-FGc This vide has me check if any cables are s

    Fan making grinding noise

    Hi rdldn

    If your fan is making a grinding noise, that would be an issue with the fan . . .

    If your fan is running at top speed, then something on your system s using up CPU or GPU

    Open Task Manager (Ctrl +Shift + Del)

    Leave that open on the Processes Tab to monitor your system

    When your fan is very busy, is your CPU or GPU at a high percentage?

    (GPU - depending on your version of Windows 10)

    If so, click on the relevant column header, so the arrow faces down

    What are the top 5 processes listed?

    Should my GPU fans be making high-pitched squealing sounds that sound like coil whine?: I ended up returning my ASRock Phantom Gaming 6800 XT and got a Sapphire Pulse 6800 XT instead since the Pulse was a bit cheaper. I'm not hearing those grinding and rattling sounds, at least, so I guess it's luckily not my mobo. However, I am getting a high-pitched squealing...
