this is the strangest thing when I started a render in the Movie render queue as i see the sub samples progress with evert count there’s a strange tick sound out of my Graphics card (Asus RTX 3090) which I don’t experience in any other render engine (redshift, octane, blender evee …etc)

any idea? should I be concered?
Is this sound comming from speakers or somewhere inside pc?
It’s actually from inside the graphics card itself
I Noticed also this tick sound is going constantly very rapidly when flying through the scene and it stops immediately once i open a menu and or disable “realtime”
Those are probably coils getting stressed with too high current (power) going trough.
So if that keeps happening but does not get worse (like constant high pits or more often) then everything is probably on the edge but working.
However those cards are expensive, and imo random noises that indicate something may break soon, is reason to RMA or replacement.
So if your card is still on guarantee period get it to service and demand fixing. Tell them that it makes weird noises and sometimes crashes PC. Yes lie to them to get card that is not faulty. That stuff is too expensive to have bad quality parts (yes whining coil is low quality component).
