Why does my computer buzz when I play games?

If your PC is making an audible buzzing noise, it might signify that something is wrong with the internal hardware. A computer buzzing noise is due to obstructed case fans, loose screws & cables, damaged DVD/CD-ROM

CD-ROM

An optical disc drive is a device in a computer that can read CD-ROMs or other optical discs, such as DVDs and Blu-ray discs. Optical storage differs from other data storage techniques that make use of other technologies such as magnetism, such as floppy disks and hard disks, or semiconductors, such as flash memory.

, failing hard disks, CPU overload, coil whine, or an overworked power supply.

How do I stop my computer from buzzing?

If they are vibrating against the steel case of your desktop PC, some rubber dampeners may help stop the sound. Your fans may also need lubrication, so a small drop of sewing machine oil in the bearing of an old fan can make it run like new again.

Why is my computer fan so loud when I play games?

Your computer fan gets loud because of high internal temps caused by 100% disk usage, high RAM usage, dust and dirt in the vents, or lack of airflow. It's normal for your fan to get loud sometimes, but if it makes a loud rattle for a while, you should investigate.

Is it OK if my PC is loud?

Loud noise is generally a very bad sign and should be dealt with immediately. Computers can also make noise if any components have come loose and are vibrating against the frame of the computer. If the computer is in the wrong area, any noise from inside the computer can become amplified.

Why is my PC making a whirring noise?

By far one of the most common noises you'll hear when using a desktop PC is the internal cooling fan inside the computer. This sounds a lot like a soft whirring noise. Much as the name suggests, this fan cools the internal hardware and central processing unit (CPU) and is there to prevent overheating.

Why does my GPU make a buzzing noise?

Too much dust and debris building up inside the GPU fans and heatsink can cause the fans to spin abnormally and project a buzzing noise. Disconnect your GPU from the motherboard and clean it with a brush or some compressed air.

Is graphics card buzzing normal?

It's probably coil whine. It's normal and does not damage the card. If it gets worse when playing higher FPS games (CS:GO for example), it's almost certainly coil whine.

Does coil whine go away?

It is possible for coil whine to either reduce in intensity or completely disappear over time. Sometimes this happens within days of getting the new GPU/PSU that causes it, other times it can take longer. But there are also cases where it sticks around and does not disappear.

Is GPU coil whine harmful?

Coil whine is in no way harmful for your card, and does not affect performance or longevity. Coil whine is simply the vibration of the coil in an inductor as the power passes through it. On a high end graphics card, ten or more large inductors would help provide power to critical components on the card.

Can GPU drivers cause coil whine?

If you don't use your PC with headphones or your speakers aren't loud enough to drown it out, you'll very likely hear some amount of coil whine when your GPU is put to work.

Is coil whine a defect?

Users may experience electrical crackling or high pitch noise issues. In many cases, these issues will be related to "coil whine", which is inherent in the design of today's high-power computer products and is not a hardware defect.

Does the CPU make noise?

The CPU itself cannot generate any noise because the hardware and compoments on the CPU are not capable of that. This is called "Coil Whine" that comes from the inductor on the motherboard or graphics card, or in the power supply.

What should a gaming PC sound like?

Is a gaming PC supposed to be loud? When idle or during regular use, an optimized PC build should be near silent. The only time excess noise is normal is during a period of intense gaming. However, some gamers overlook silence to keep the PC's internal temperature as low as possible via the fans.

Are gaming pcs noisy?

This depends largely on the quality of your components, especially your case fans (and the fans of the PSU, GPU, and CPU Cooler). If you get cheap fans, they'll make a lot of noise, but they'll generally operate "fine".
