Motherboard crackle and whistle

Good day everyone!

Recenty I have assembled a new pc and faced one problem.

Setup:

MB - MSI B450M A Pro-Max

CPU - AMD Ryzen 5 3600

POWER - AEROCOOL Lux 750W 80 Plus Bronze

GPU - ASUS Dual RTX 3060 TI GDDR6x

The problem is that under the pressure (games, tests, apps) my motherboard's power supply section is dynamically cracking depending on the CPU load

I've come through a huge research process and found out that this issue is caused by BIOS power supply settings, but in my BIOS (3J.0) the needed options (CPU 6 report/ 1CE) are absent, that's why i am struggling thinking how to fix those uncomfortable sounds.

Could you please help me to figure it out.

Have a good day, looking forward to hearing from anyone)

You're experiencing dynamic cracking sounds from your motherboard's power supply section in your newly assembled PC. This issue could be due to power delivery settings in the BIOS, but the required options are missing in your BIOS version (3J.0). You've researched the problem and suspect it might be related to power supply settings. You've considered options like updating the BIOS, checking for physical damage, verifying thermal management, and potentially contacting MSI support or seeking professional help. It's important to address this issue systematically as hardware-related problems can be complex.

I recommend getting a quality power supply from a reputable brand for starters .. something 80+ Gold or better rated

Check hardware review sites before purchasing anything
