Coil Whine after last "performance" update
Hello I'm getting heavy coil whine from my GPU/CPU after the last so-called "performance" update. I already limited my frame rate to 65-75 and still causing that annoying noise. I'm %100 sure this ...

ehhh quickly not caring.. as the 5 rigs here are fine.
Check your fan speeds if the noise changes when you increase them manually then the whine is from them, if it happens when your in a game then it is likely to do with your video card or cpu, both extremely easy to isolate ie: stress under load individually.
Do you have mental problems or something? I already said it suddenly started to happen, right after patching completed- this means it must be something wrong with the patch itself. my fan speed is normal, just like in other games it runs pretty normal. And no, I dont use any software like MSI Afterburner. I'm using GPU-Z only for check my GPU temperatures/fans and they normal while I'm running the swtor.
And sure, 5 rigs. I also have 10 rigs more in my house. Using them one by one LOL.
I have also a good graphic card and CPU.
You asked for any ideas to help fix it, he gave you ideas. It seems you've already decided what the issue is and that it's up to Bioware to fix. So I'm not sure what you want from anyone here.
This is clearly a "You" problem is what I am hearing along with a simple lack of manors; I guess your plan for the day is to sit there and stew. Vroom Vroom watch out for my lightsaber.. coming through.
First fact : Coil whine is hardware related (the inductors vibrate in their housings), typical for high-end products, more frequently and more intensely present on AMD products then nVidia.
It is also related to the vid card manufacturer.
Second fact : There were graphical improvements in the game that makes the GPU work harder (puts more stress on it then before). Notably Very High anti-aliasing and improved Shadows. Check back to the frst fact and see it coincide.
Third fact : No software actually causes a coil whine. The hardware does, due to "an error in conception". Test your card with FurMark, and enjoy the same coil whine. Play Far Cry 4 on Ultra settings, enjoy the coil whine.
My tip : RMA that vid card if you're stil under warranty.
Something to read on. BioWare does not produce hardware, and should be able to put a decent load on a vid card, who shud technically handle it WITHOUT coil whine.
