As I previously remarked, my GPU runs at 1.185mV at stock settings 1260MHz/2000Memory. After looking it up, it seems like this is a very high stock voltage for stock settings for an RX 470 Sapphire 8GB. Lowered it down to 1.075Mv and coil whine is almost gone. Figured out that this is a very...

So I did some research for my GPU, and it runs at 1.185mV at stock settings 1260MHz/2000Memory. Figured out that this is a very high voltage to be running at for stock settings, so lowered it down to about 1.100mV, and coil whine is almost gone. Will try to get it lower, but afraid it will...

Any way I can confirm it's the GPU or CPU power throttling? Any apps specifically which can address this? I'm not running any kind of OC by the way. Everything at stock settings. SSD has latest firmware. Installed OS with the other HDD connected - any reason why this could have an effect?

Do you think the SF600 would make any difference? I opted for the SF450 because I thought it was more than enough power for this build. Also, if I turn the power limit down, the coil whine becomes less. However, the temperature go higher. Could it be an option to lower the power limit, put on...

Only the GPU clock or the Memory clock too? The memory clock is at 2000MHz. What would be a safe number to start with to test if that can have an effect? So I tried turning the GPU clock down. I can hear quite the difference in coil whine when I turn it down 600MHz or so, but that's basically...

Games is on the EVO 840 SSD

By how much would be a good number?

Makes sense. But why does it happen, and how can I fix it though?

The coil whine completely disappears during the micro-stutter. So the sound disappears for some ms at the exact time when the screen stutters, then keeps going when the micro stutter is over with the coil whine going at it again. In addition to this, it becomes less intense when I set the FPS...

My finished mini-ITX build works great except for this weird micro stutter going on when I play games. When I play games, I can hear coil whine from my GPU in sync with when it stutters. That is - at the exact point when the game micro stutters, the coil wine stops, then starts up when it's all...

Thanks everyone for helping me out with this build. I ordered the components today. One last question: will standoffs be included in the motherboard box, or do I have to buy these separately?

So I've more or less finished up my build, with the exception of the PSU. Some people have told me that the SF450 would be sufficient, as it's a quality SFX PSU to begin with (as you noted), even with the peak load of my build being 374W. Others have said the SF450 wouldn't be enough for this...

So reading through this it seems to me that it will only work if I specifically only change the motherboard of the build I'm using now? In my case, I'm building a whole new computer. Will it still work?

Could you elaborate on the Front PSU Mod? Interested in what you mean specifically.

Went with the SG13 for the size, because I'm taking it in a backpack with me when I move abroad later next month. Only one I could find to be confirmed to fit in a backpack. Do you have any other suggestions for RAM? Also, If I do go with the KIT I listed in the build - the worst case scenario...
