Hi there is it possible to have coil whine coming from psu and gpu at the same time as I think this is what I got. It only happens when I play games but I got fps looked at 60fps. Also I notice that it buzzes a little when idle. Is there anything I can do about it?

It's theoretically possible yes. Whine is just a 'resonance' in the circuitry (if I put my ear to my G500 it's whine becomes barely audible). For the GPU you can try a burn in period. PSU I don't think you can burn in. Is coil / capcaitor whine something you get during normal gaming?

The whine from psu is there it's impossible to hear it only when I'm like 10cm away from it at idle. When I only play game I get some could from Gpu and a little from pau but it can be hear from around 30 cm when pc is under load. Gpu is almost a year old so I think it burn in already.

I think it coil whine as it sound like one on videos but it's just quieter compare to some on YouTube. But sound doesn't change much when I move mouse etc

Okay I'm not 100% I get what you mean. I you're saying it's only audible from 30cm away in game, simply move more than 30cm away

Whine in and of itself isn't indicative of a deeper problem. If the GPU is louder than that and is a year old I don't know of an easy solution sadly...
