My current motherboard (MSI Z590 PRO WIFI) has coil whine even under modest load (for example, scrolling in Chrome). The noise definitely comes from the VRM area.
Compared to some of the more expensive MBs, my MB has rather modest VRM (12+2 virtual phases, 6+2 real phases, RT3609BE PWM-Controller) and MOSFETs CPU (12x 55A AOZ5516QI).
I understand that it's essentially a lottery and that even high-end MBs might have coil-while. But would buying a MB with better VRMs substantially reduce the chances of getting one with coil whine?
