I am one of those people that gets very annoyed with moderate buzzing generated by piezoelectric elements coil whine and tends to just ignore it if I can. My win10 ltsc desktop with an rx6700xt was buzzing like a cicada bug and it was SO annoying, but I figured it was an issue with the hardware and moved on. (It’s really loud, and is triggered by mouse movements and the invisible windows scheduler. Something to do with interrupts). Well I booted into my forgotten linux distro that I use for testing and it’s gone now. I use this computer exclusively for fitgirl repacks and steam games but now I am seriously considering putting linux on my main drive since I don’t have to listen to that fucking sound.

Adding this to the list of things windows sucks at xD

    This happened to me aswell. On windows I’ve had some significant coilwine and since switching to Cachy I haven’t heard a single buzz from my case
