The results in the video speak for themselves, and the process itself is as simple as ticking a box in the game’s display settings.

As detailed by popular tech Youtuber JayzTwoCents, applying some sort of FPS limiter, such as Nvidia GSync or Radeon Freesync, could potentially reduce the load on your graphics card-thus preventing the coils from excessively vibrating. In some cases, users have reported that replacing the power supply can help reduce coil whine in other parts, as the variable power flowing through the coils is what causes the oscillation in the first place.Īlthough coil whine is a physical phenomenon, there are a few situations where software tweaks might solve some of the underlying issues when it occurs in your graphics card. As described in the video, the most common producers of coil whine are the graphics card, the power supply, and the area around the CPU socket on the motherboard. A video guide on Youtube shows desktop users how to isolate which part in your system is causing the coil whine.

Before requesting an RMA, make sure to narrow down the specific part that is producing the noise. While the manufacturer may not grant a return or replacement simply based on coil whine, it should be considered as an option. For example, in our testing of the Dell Latitude 7480, we found highly audible coil whine, spiking as high as 4000Hz. If the coil whine is substantial, it may warrant an RMA from the manufacturer. Alternatively, while plugging in a pair of headphones may not seem like a solution to the problem, this could be the simplest option for many users. Since the problem is the result of a physical process that occurs during the normal use of the device, there are unfortunately few ways of preventing coil whine outright. If the coil whine is coming from parts in a desktop setup, the best solution can often be to put them in a noise-isolating case.

On the side of the manufacturer, coil whine can be reduced by using specially designed noise-reducing coils or through a process called damping, which inhibits the degree to which the coils can oscillate.

Although the phenomenon can worsen over time, the build-quality of a device can impact the amount of coil whine the user will experience - even with brand-new devices.
