Not sure if PSU or GPU causing the noise issue.

Hi dudes, hope you are having a good day.

Bit of a backgroud, my power supply used to squeal and whine hell which started a couple of months after upgrading to a GTX 1070, it did this for the past year but just today it seems to have gotten a little quieter and I don't know why.

Excellent news! but now the noise is quieter I have noticed that the noise from the PSU seems to corrospond with a noise that the gpu is making, if I uncap the frames in certain games the psu noise would get a lot louder and in other games with the frames capped at 60 the power supply will can still make the same electrical grinding type noise.

Now I know what coil whine sounds like on a gpu but my gpu doesn't seem to making a coil whine noise and the noise it is making seems to be be in tandum with the PSU noise and the noise level will change with the PSU noise level despite being a lot quester thn the PSU.

The PSU is a Be Quiet! CM BQT L8-730W Pure Power 80 Bronze.

Thank you for your reply, well the noise is coming from both but the louder noise is from the PSU and certain forced situations makes the PSU really whine over anoy other nosie. I was looking to upgrade to the Straight Power 11 750W.
