Hey everyone, first of all sorry for the long read
I just built my PC this week, and while it runs great during usage, I’m experiencing a very persistent and annoying high-pitched noise (I know can be coil whine) that seems to come from the PSU/GPU/MOBO area, even when the PC is completely powered off - THIS IS THE STRESS PART AHAHAH
The sound is very high-pitched, similar to a tinnitus-like frequency, and continues as long as the PSU is connected to the outlet. When I unplug the power cord, the sound stops immediately.
Here’s a video showcasing the noise:

My Build:

[li]CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 7600X 4.7 GHz 6-Core Processor[/li][li]CPU Cooler: Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 White[/li][li]Motherboard: MSI B650M Gaming Plus WiFi Micro ATX AM5[/li][li]Memory: TEAMGROUP T-Create Expert 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6000[/li][li]Storage: WD Black SN770 2TB NVMe SSD[/li][li]GPU: XFX Speedster SWFT 319 Radeon RX 6800 16 GB[/li][li]Case: Lian Li A3 mATX[/li][li]PSU: MSI MAG A650GL 650W 80+ Gold Fully Modular[/li][/ul]
What I’ve Tried So Far:
[ol]
[li]I’ve already RMA’d my PSU and received a new unit of the same model. Unfortunately, the noise is identical, so I’m wondering if the issue might not be related to the PSU itself.[/li][li]I disabled Global C-State Control in the BIOS to rule out idle power-saving noise, but this hasn’t fixed it.[/li][li]The noise happens even when the PC is completely shut off, but stops when I unplug the PSU.[/li][li]Also I attached the spectrum of the sound is from the same spot and you can see a spike near the 10K Hz, one when the sound is off (ORANGE) and the other with the sound ON(RED)[/li][/ol]
Questions:
[ul]
[li]Could the noise come from another component, such as the motherboard or GPU, even when powered off?[/li][li]Has anyone experienced this type of issue with similar components?[/li][li]Could this be related to the power strip or wall outlet? (I’m using a surge protector.)[/li][/ul]
I’m at a bit of a loss here, so any advice or troubleshooting tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
