Why me ? :)

Hi everyone !

I have a problem when rendering with C4D and Redshift.
I have 2 gtx 3070ti and when I use them both, my pc is beeping... but not when I use only one card.
I've been looking all over and can't find anyone with the same problem.

Do you have any idea where this could come from ?

Thx a lot !

Could you record the beeps and post it here? Will be easier to narrow it down

Might be coil whine - best to do a quick recording, jep.

There it is ! I'm looking at this "coil whine" thing
Thank you so much !

Don't sound like a cold whine to me (thnaks to you I know what it means now )
It really sound like a motherboard beep

 

[Alex Glawion]

Mh hard to tell. It could be coil whine but it's very rhythmic, which would point to a controlled system beep. Unless the workload you're running lines up with the beeps (so e.g. a frame is rendered per beep? I'd say it's a speaker/motherboard beep. @Jerry James ?

Yep, that's not coil whine for sure.
The first thing that comes to mind is a dead CMOS battery. That said, I'm not sure whether this is why you're getting those beeps because you're only experiencing the issue when using the second GPU as well. Still, try replacing the CMOS battery and see whether the issue resolves itself.

You can also try reseating that second GPU once again. Some boards have steady, continuous beeps to indicate that a PCIe device isn't installed properly. Sometimes this 'check' can malfunction and can beep even if a graphics card is seated properly. Reseating usually fixes this issue.

PS. Are you 100% sure it's coming from inside the PC? That also kinda sounds like my UPS/power backup beeping because of an overload

Oh my ! Thank you so mutch ! It is the UPS/power backup...It's right next to my pc. Such a relief ! Again thank you so mutch. You guys are the best !!!

Have a great week-end !
