A bit worried about my rig?

[R3dAlert93]

My computer keeps making strange noises when playing F4, like a random scratching and screeching sound now and then coming from my rig.

If so, enable V-Sync or lock your frame rate.

The coil whine in my graphics card right?

If that is the noise you are hearing. Try more Youtube videos of coil whine and see if it matchs the screeching noise you are hearing. GPU's tend to make that noise when working to max capacity (like rendering unlimited fps without V-Sync on).

Yeah, my evga 980ti ftw 6gb card has been around about 60C when playing fallout 4. Thinking of getting a evga 1070 ftw 8gb card and see if that improves it.

It can happen in any card. Most GPU manufacturers don't even consider it a defect. I have two GTX 970's. One I bought for myself, the other for my sister-in-law. Mine had coil whine and hers did not. My current GPU, a GTX 1070, has coil whine. The coil whine however, only occurs when V-Sync is off.

I have V-Snyc on, it happens now and then when in settlements or Diamond city and the fps drops then goes up to 60 again. Not sure if its due to over building my settlements and thats causing the fps and ctds?

10 hours? Damn.

my rigs quiet even when gaming. my MSI Armor 1070 is just amazing adjusted fan curve can hit 100% fan speed and it will still be quiet while keeping my temps under 60c all the time. and 27c on idle. sounds to me you have a low quality power supply thats probably coil whining. it wouldnt surprise me. also other sounds could be from your hard drive.

unless you have a ssd, its probably your HDD going out, or your dvd player is crappy on it and you have a disc in it thats currently spinning up.

Yes, i do have an SSD and a HDD i did an error check and there were no issues with both. Its likely to be my gpu or one of my fans i have noticed thats making a noise when i turn on my computer. Im not really an expert on this stuff but i would like to get it solved. Things or always fail even if they are top of the range or not.

Might just be clogged up and need a cleaning, do you have your comp in open space where it won't get overheated and full of dust. i had an issue with mine a while ago where the molex cord was knocking against the fans of my gpu and wore away the molex cord so i had to replace it.

Yes, its in open space and in a good place for air flow.

Its usually Fan bearings, easy to check, open case and spin all the fans.. if any stop dead or are hard to spin you've got a dying fan.

Also, a bearing going bad can be checked by simply giving the tower a "shake". However, if it is a bearing issue, it is only a matter of time. My CPU fan is starting to act like Vault 13's water chip.

See what i did there, tied it back to the Fallout centric forum!

However even good hardware can go faulty, its just on of those things with electonics. best thing would be to take the side off your case and hear where the noise is coming from.....

Uninstalling Fallout 4 should fix it.
