I built my PC in January 2025 and didn't have any issues until recently. After playing Ark Survival Ascended on high settings, I noticed a buzzing noise that started a few minutes into the game. I've tried isolating the fans, and it doesn't seem to be them. I monitored my PSU voltages, and they're stable, so I suspect it might be my GPU. The buzzing gradually gets louder after 7-10 minutes of gameplay and doesn't stop immediately when I exit the game. Any advice would be super helpful as I'm not very experienced with these newer graphics cards!

Coil whine can be a bit of an inconsistency with GPUs; some cards just have it more than others. You've done a good job isolating the issue already! If it's bothering you, try undervolting your card a bit—sometimes that helps with the noise.
