While gaming hearing a soft humming noise
I recently upgraded my set up everything is new got a liquid cooler better psu,cpu,gpu,motherboard, and ram and I notice now mostly when I’m gaming I keep hearing a soft humming and it’s very annoying to the point it drives my attention so much but I can’t figure out what it’s coming from its not my fans I tested it and they are silent while gaming idk if it could be the psu or what just stumped rn I don’t think it’s cool while it’s not a buzzing or rattling just a soft humming

Can you start the computer without the side of your case on and listen to your parts, If you have 3D mark it would be great to have that going to make the hum happen... if possible.

coil whine is very high pitched

soft hum is more likely to be an unbalanced fan

either is fine as long as fan is still moving air

If you swapped to liquid cooler then could be cooler pump noise.
