Psu coil whine is there a way to stop it?
Hello, So my desktop computer is from 2009 its now 4 years old, lately i started investigating why this super high pitched noise keeps whining in my ear, so i opened my computer and started listening on some of the parts, i found out that it was the psu, The coil whine only comes up when the computer is in windows and while gaming, But when its starting up or shutting doen its quiet, I think this is becouse im almost overloading it or something but i really shouldnt, its using an 90W amd cpu and a engt 430 gpu, it draw's like 150-200 watts at its max and i bearly pushes it that much, even with gpu and cpu at max the computer is running fine,
the psu is 300W so im almost maxing it but still, it should not whine like this. Can i fix the whine in some way? i heard you could put nail polish on the capasitors to stop the vibrations and the whine came from vibrations or something...
