Right just disconnected all fans and there is a slight noise from pump like a faint hum but thats it this cant be heard with case closed and fans spinning
Ahh thanks... Ya wish the mb was ok so I could just concern myself with the aio... Sounds like the other guy had issues with coil whine also.
Ya the lowest setting the pump goes at 2300ish rpm, nice the fans can go 0rpm but it's the pump making most of the noise.
The mbs I had in my top list were the asus b550-e (numerous issues as told on the forums, usb mouse keyboard issues to ethernet issues)... Msi gaming carbon maybe its back to this one - vrm heat was a bit high

Yes said hed tried 2 boards and gone back to his origanal im using a gigabyte x570 elite no coiil whine weve got 3 of them in family and non suffere with coil whine and fans dont spin up
Oh I think this was the motivation for a b550. Away from a chipset fan but yours doesn't spin huh?
That is exactly what I had, and if I would stress the PC (or play a game) it would get very loud. If you check, you can hear it clearly from the capacitors behind the motherboard (little square where the CPU goes).

Not at all, it would make noise from the moment you turn the PC on, on a stock BIOS. You could leave it on Windows doing nothing and you could hear all the "electricity" noise from a few feet away.

No you will find once pc is on it doesnt spin theres 3 options in bios aswell including silent but mine never spins my wife does photo editing i just game got 2 nvme drives in and it doesnt spin at all i know msi had a problem with there fan spinning because the 4th pin was bent but havnt heard of this on gigabyte boards
Really good to know, my pc hasn't been stressed at all and I still notice it. Btw did you purchase this from the company that sounds like 'slam'? I have a feeling they are going to charge me a restocking fee but I'm going to mention the coil whine also...
Yeah, same place. I think I have called them at least 10 times for this and the agents were always were cool about it and happy to help.

Have you decided what your going to do mate
Not sure, I spent a lot of time deciding on the b550 unify, from the black look to the heatpiped heatsinks, to the thermal padded m2 drives to the way they set up the m2 drives and you have access to all the usbs.
Anyways...
My 2 second choices were the msi b550 carbon which funny enough I bought but sold it because it was taking me so long to decide/gather parts I thought I'd go with an Asus b550-e, which is my other pick... And I was almost going to get it but the asus/reddit forums have many people talking about ethernet issues, usb disconnects etc...
To be honest the rgb and software compatibility played a roll also. The unify doesn't have any rgb but to be honest looks beautiful.
Oh the vrm heat on the carbon got some bad marks...
So atm, leaning toward the asus b550-e, But...
I'm thinking about getting the phanteks aio and retesting the aio sound and coil whine from the unify. Before deciding.
I'm going to need to send this unify back anyways, its if I want another or different board. I like my current aio but my wife wants this case right on my desk (other was on the ground a few feet from my desk) - so quite is important.
I'll test more once wife and kid are in bed.
Just to make sure, did the board make that noise with only with the rx850m psu ie yours or other ones too? Ie that the tech people had?
I havnt lput mine under load yet but may try it tonite just to see, hmmm I forgot is prime95 a little program to ramp up that stresses you think?

Prime will stress your cpu
Ahh thanks, want to stress it a bit see if that buzzing increases in intensity.
Soldato
Let us know how you get on
I didnt try it with another PSU model, but I did try 3 different RM850x. Two of then had coil whine on the the Unify boards and my Taichi, the 3rd one I received only had VRM issues on the Unify board, my Taich was fine. I was 1 month without PC due to all this so I decided to stick to the Taichi that I had.
Thanks good to know.
Well I have some interesting news...
https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/nv-uefi-update-x64/
I've never heard of it but I posted something on the msi forums and someone mentioned this (luckily).
It's a display port firmware updater, and this fixed my issue with my dp And... My hdmi. I just booted up in dp and hdmi in bios and windows.
For some reason in my mind I thought if I had access to a new gpu I wasn't going to have issues booting...
I assume the firmware updates your gpu?
Oh I was going to say monitors 2 and 3 the difference is - both 4k but the Philips # 3 has hdr and I don't know it looks prettier
So get this, this same gpu runs the same monitor on an old 2700k no problem before this update, dp or hdmi meaning I could play cyberpunk if I wanted 970gtx frame rates.
I was really close to tearing my system up and taking the mb out too.
I don't know if that fixed issues with the dvi cable monitor... Geez... I should have kept my 5700xt gpu and I would have saved myself 30+ hours of 'guess what the problem is'.
Now... I can focus on the aio noise or the static noise, I tried prime for a little bit and the pump is hard to hear over.
I may grab that phanteks aio and with that I think I can turn the pump way down (right Alex?) to determine the mb VRM noise then and if I can accept the capellix constant hum. I sit here right now in windows and its bothering me. 0 fans spinning and it's a hmmmmmmm sound.
Nightmare curious what would be the easiest/smallest thing I could run to stress the system to check for VRM noise? Gave prime95 a go. Want to try something else. What about one of those gpu ocing programs that ran a 3d object and tested the gpu speed for problems? (you can tell its been awhile since I used those type of things).
