A beeping sound is heard when gaming on a 9070 XT, need a fix (not a coil whine)

[Lesha]

For context – I have helped a friend buy components for his new PC, he bought a Sapphire Pulse 9070 XT, Ryzen 9900X, MSI X870 Tomahawk WiFi, Corsair RM850x, Kingston Fury 32GB Beast EXPO DDR5 6000MHz CL30 Kit, LG 27GS75Q-B monitor (180 Hz). Every time he starts a game at some point the beeping starts. I am not sure where does it come from, is it the mobo?
The temporary solution was to cap the frame rate to 90 fps and then the power draw is around 80W instead of 300.
So the question is – how do we fix this? Has anyone had the same problem?

Here is how it sounds:

Thanks in advance!

EDIT: It is not a coil whine.

Usually, sound coming from the GPU while at high FPS is "coil whine"... But this is really loud and sounds a bit different.

Nevertheless, how is his GPU power connected? Is he using 2x8-pin PCI-E or is it 1x8+8 pin PCI-E? Usually coil whine is very obnoxious when using a splitter cable. Speaking from personal experience.
I have an XFX Swift 9070 XT, one of my friends has an XFX Merc 9070 XT and another friend has the Sapphire Pulse 9070 XT with the fire hazard conector... None of us have any coil whine issues.

No, this is not a coil whine, it sounds like a mobo when there is some kind of error. He is using 2x8-pin PCI-E cables.

Oh, so the sound is coming from the mobo and not the GPU?

Sounds like it is coming from a speaker. I can not check it as the case is enclosed in his desk, the only way to check is to disconnect all cables and connect them outside of the desk which is a pain in the @ss, but we will have to do that eventually to be certain.

His mainboard has:
4x EZ Debug LED
1x EZ Digit Debug LED
So no speaker attached to the mainboard by default.

I've tried to listen to the sound on a laptop (with crappy speakers), but to me it sounds more as a microphone that picks up sound (certain frequency) of the speakers and amplifying that.
If he has a microphone connected, simply disconnect and check if this solves the problem.

No microphone. I come from using PCs in the 90's and this sounds like a mobo speaker. We will have to open the case when I go to his home and listen for the beep source.

Ok, it seems everything is fine now. We reset the BIOS to default values, it was probably due to the all core undervolt.
