It's been making this noise since I built it. Sometimes it disappears and other times it goes loud that I can hear them through my headphones. It also does react "sometimes" to anything I do with my mouse and keyboard by clicking/pressing.

If anyone has any idea what is this please let me know.

Google Drive link for the audio recording: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1L89pcucAdsqeCH9Zoq-8yBOxpdkrrY2o/view?usp=sharing

Your sound clip is wanting a download to be able to play it and that isn't going to happen.

If the computer is a desktop can you post the brand and model name or number of the power supply (PSU).

Download then run Speccy (free) and post the resultant url for us, details here, this will provide us with information about your computer hardware + any software that you have installed that may explain the present issue/s.

To publish a Speccy profile to the Web:

In Speccy, click File, and then click Publish Snapshot.

In the Publish Snapshot dialog box, click Yes to enable Speccy to proceed.

Speccy publishes the profile and displays a second Publish Snapshot. You can open the URL in your default browser, copy it to the clipboard, or close the dialog box.

thanks for letting me know. Is there anywhere I can upload the recording?

Can you just provide the requested information, diagnosing static sounds over the internet is like trying to stop the rain from coming down, the quality of your hardware and any voltage readings Speccy provides will tell us all we need to know.

Here it is: http://speccy.piriform.com/results/zc3v3mglPJtBBrHoERA1m1f

My PSU unfortunately is not 80rated, it's a Bosston EK588

The CPU temp is high rn because I'm running a game

You without doubt need a better quality PSU :eek:

There is one thing that is possibly worse than using a known poor quality brand of PSU and that is using one that is unheard of, for brands of PSU to trust and brands to avoid please refer to the links in my sig.

Power Profile
Active power scheme: High performance

While we look at the Speccy report, one thing I will suggest is that you change the Windows Power Plan to Balanced, High Performance is a form of overclocking that is known to cause stability and overheating issues and a weak PSU such as the one that you have will get hotter and weaker the more that you use it, if not real careful it will go bang and take out all your hardware with it.

Edit to add: Other than overheating and Windows being months out of date there is nothing wrong with your hardware so swapping in a better quality PSU and better case cooling looks to be all that you need.

You are welcome :)

One other suggestion, check the minimum required spec of any game that you would like to try and play, only having the Vega graphics is contributing to your overheating problems, see info here
