Not sure if this is the right community for this. If not, I'll nuke it. Just looking for somewhere that isn't world or ml now that autism.place is gone.

You might be hearing the coil/capacitor whine when the CPU/GPU has a surge of activity and suddenly pulls more power.

Back in the day, on some computers, you could hear when someone was dragging a window across the screen. The larger the area being repainted, the louder the noise.

I've noticed this happening when i get really really high FPS in a game. Like running something from 1998 on a modern system and hitting over 1000 FPS.

Now I have my framerate capped externally so I'm not wasting power rendering thousands of frames for no reason.
