My Gigabyte B650m Aorus Elite AX has insane coil whine when it is running in benchmark or demanding program. It so high pitched it literally hurts your ears after a bit, its been this way since I got it. Most games don't trigger the coil whine, its only synthetic benchmarks and very demanding games. Even with that though, there is a low barely audible coil whine running at all times.
I read review for this mobo on Amazon just now and on Microcenter and both of them stated motherboard coil whine as a problem as well.
The 6800 XT has not even had a tiny amount of coil whine, in my previous build or this one, so I know it is not gpu coil whine, I had that in my old like 7950 card once, so I know what that is like and that is not what is happening here.
This is my first experience with coil whine on a motherboard, I didn't even know it was a thing until now. Any advice welcome.
I just turned on Spread Spectrum in BIOS to see if that might fix it (it was a hail mary pass, I had no reason to think it would) and it did not fix it. So, I am going to set that back to auto.
