    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 sound now as shown in this videos: https://drive.google.com/file/d/19CzUe437akxT7to9oHAMsAWjoonl5Y1g/view?usp=share_linkI thought it was coil whine since it sounds like that. I am getting coil whine, but I'm just running at idle in this video, so it shouldn't be coil whine. Additionally, the sound goes away as soon as I tu

  2. My GPU fans are making a grinding/vibrating sound. How can I fix this?

    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:

    This vide has me check if any cables are stuck in the fans, and it doesn’t seem like any of them are based on that:

    This is definitely coming from my fans since the noise only starts happening if I raise my fan speed above about 60%. I thought it was coil whine at first, but it’s definitely related to the fans, especially since there’s that loud noise that starts as soon as I raise the fan speed. Could this be caused by improperly seating my GPU? It seems to be working apart from this fan issue and some coil whine, so I’m not sure if that could be causing it. Or is something just wrong with the fans themselves? I’m not really sure though what’s happening, so any assistance would be appreciated to troubleshoot before I have to return this and just get a new one. In terms of my own troubleshooting, I tried to lift up my GPU to see if GPU sag was causing it to hit the case or something, but that just made a cracking sound for some reason which did not sound good. There is a case cable behind my GPU for one of my case fans; could that be causing these sounds? I don’t think it’s possible for me to move that out of the way though since it’s too short.

  3. Is this coil whine ?

    That doesn't sound like coil whine, coil whine is high pitch noise.


    Check all of your fans for obstructions to include the psu and gpu fan, clean them too.
    Check for loose screws in fans, psu, gpu.
    Check for wires hitting the case sides. If you have an hdd ensure it is fully mounted in the rack, same with optical disc drives.

    Coil whine fix

    The coil whine when idle makes the noise but when at 70 or 80 it stops but what i don't get is why is it when the backlight is on the coil whine stops
