Hi, i have a problem i try every configuration possible but after some time (variable time) my graphic cards begin to do a strange electrical noise. I did not try to keep playing after that, i never heard that sound and i am afraid it could create damage to my graphic cards.

I am a programmer, i use Unreal engine 4 for hours, i play a lot of game maxed out and never heard that sound. It seem to happens only with Fallout 4. Could you help me to understand what is it?

Basically i start palying and everythings goes fine, after an undefinited time it start with single electrical noise and become more frequent if i look around into the game. It slow down a bit if i stay still for a while..

I did not use the card too much with that noise so i don't know what happens later.. Without last patches i could only play for 10 minutes and i get a crash on nvidia kernell.

Msi said that it's not theyr fault and that they cannot do anything about it.

My specs:

Windows 10, 16 gb Ram, Msi Nvidia 980 gtx gaming, latest Nvidia driver, latest graphic card bios and latest Fallout 4 patches..

PLEASE PLEASEE!!! I waited this game so much, i wanna play with it!

P.s.
It's also my birthday today!

Download a program to stress test your GPU. They will run the card more than Fallout 4 will. Keep your eye on temps and fan speeds. Could it be the fan hitting something? Listen out for anything unusual.

Also check you're using the latest Nvidia driver released in the last day or two.

Also happy birthday!

Can you identify the origin of the noise?

Open your case, and play that way. It will be easier to pinpoint what component makes that sound.

Could it be a vibrating wire or an out of balance fan.?

...and Happy Birthday. May all of your wishes come true. !!!

It could be coil whine. Does it change in frequency depending on framerate or amount of stuff onscreen?

Coil whine doesn't indicate damage it is just annoying. It is not covered by RMA because it doesn't affect performance or reliability.

If you want to return the card, make another excuse for the return.
