Windows 10: PC buzzing noise when playing GPU intensive games.

Now, when I play a GPU intensive game, the buzzing noise starts when I lag. The buzzing slows down the laggier I get, but it speeds up when there is less lag. The noise is almost completely gone when the game is not lagging. I am pretty sure it is also the game, called "War Thunder", that if I alt tab to lets say Edge, then the noise completely disappear. Its always the GPU intensive games, for example I also have a game from Steam called "Sprocket, and when I lag on it, it produces the same kind of noise and with the exact frequency based on the lag I am receiving. I am led to believe that it

New PC build, buzzing noise when playing game


I finished building my first PC, and it seems to be doing pretty great for the most part. But when I was playing a game, I noticed a light buzzing sound coming from my PC after a while. I then closed the game and the noise went away after a couple of seconds. A little while later I restarted the game, and after (if I had to guess) 15-20 minutes, the buzzing noise came back. It's not super loud or anything, but definitely noticeable and kind of annoying, and so far only seems to be coming up while running a game.

(updated my PC specs on my profile to show what I'm using.)

 

New PC build, buzzing noise when playing game


Hello,

Since the noise seems to only appear during game play, I'd first check the GPU fan/s. Looking at your build, you've got a few moving parts that can all rattle or buzz. Have a friend or family member monitor the inside of the opened case to try to pinpoint the noise source. Taking a wooden or plastic ruler or the like, apply some light pressure at different points when the noise starts. The noise could be a fan, a drive, or case rattle. Eliminate case rattles by removing both panels, and front bezel. Disconnect case fans and remove optical drive. This will leave HDD, GPU fan/s, and CPU fan, to examine independently; Make sure all are firmly secure in their mounts.

PC Buzzing Sound After Playing Game

Hello, I posted another question about some weird issues I was having with my alienware pc I bought a few months ago. But this one is an entirely different problem. I know this isn't technically a "windows" issue, but I am just trying to get any answers I can from anyone who might know what is going on.

Every time I play a performance-intensive game, my pc will start making this low, rhythmic buzzing sound, which will persist indefinitely. Even after I exit the game and leave it idle, this noise will continue. Restarting the pc will not interrupt the noise either in any way. The only thing that stops the buzzing is turning the pc off completely, and then booting it back up again. The noise will stop after this, until I start up one of the aforementioned games.

I thought one of the fans might be having an issue, but it seems strange to me that the noise would *only* start up at the beginning of the game and continue in the same manner after the game's termination until the pc is completely shut down. I am trying to avoid sending the pc back for warranty repair, because I have heard dell will keep them for several weeks, or even more.
