Graphics Cards

[j0bas]

Hi, today I went to upgrade my drivers for my rx 6800xt and when i went to download the drivers, I noticed a really weird chirping sound coming from my PC. I haven’t noticed anything wrong with my PC recently and I am just curious why this is happening. After I pressed install on the driver screen the chirping instantly went away. I appreciate all the feedback I can get, thank you! https://imgur.com/gallery/urCvh1J

Can't hear it too well in the video but my first instinct is coil whine.

Try cleaning out your case and making sure that the fans are spinning correctly. If the problem persists, you may need to replace the graphics card.

Here are some additional things to try:

1. Try connecting your graphics card to a different power supply cable.
2. Try running your graphics card in a different PCIe slot.
3. Try updating your BIOS.
4. Try reinstalling your graphics drivers.

If you've tried all of the above and the chirping noise is still happening, then it's likely that your graphics card is defective and needs to be replaced.

Here are some additional tips for preventing graphics card overheating:

• Make sure that your case has good airflow.
• Keep your case clean and free of dust.
• Make sure that your graphics card fans are spinning correctly.
• Use a GPU monitoring tool to keep an eye on your graphics card temperature.
• If your graphics card is overheating, you can try reducing the clock speed or voltage.
