Coil Whine noise ASUS UX501 VW 2016?

The noise my nice 2016 Asus ZenBook Pro UX501 VW With
Skylake i7 6700HQ
512 GO SSD M2 PCIe
16 Gb Ram DDR4
Nvidia GTX 960m
Something is wrong, the noise reacts with mouse and web page loading. The worst is the electric wistling it makes some times. When it does, I shut it down, it really gives a headache in seconds.

Sorry I tried film with my phone, but the free sofware I had wouldn't read the format of my phone video. And now that I have a working pc... Well I have other projects.

[@ayyylmao4394]

Same problem here. Using this notebook on a quiet enviroment is extremely annoying. I wonder if dipping whatever is causing it in epoxy could make it better.

[@natebot321]

Same issue I had on my new XPS 13 with the i7. Getting a replacement didnt help any. The noise seems to have quieted down after a little bit though.

[@flyingferret13]

This is a problem with ALL skylake laptops. Dell, Razer, Asus, they all have the same exact problem because they all use Intel's Skylake chipset. If you have an Intel Core i7 6700 you will most likely have this whine. Messing with CPU throttling affects it.

[@Timuragashka]

i don't think so. Processor and bridge can not be noisy. This problem is related to the power system.

[@Moonlightgirlful]

flyingferret13 messing with cpu? like playing a game? Mine is kinda similar, not that loud though and stops making the noise when I am scrolling up and down on a page. Or no, it makes more noise when I do scroll up and down. :/

[@Nippledozer]

flyingferret13 my I7 6600U has done it too.

[@TobyT91]

My G501VW also stops making noise when I scroll (not only web pages).

[@sobakete]

Hi. I have a 3 months old MSI GE75 Raider 8SE and, from the very first day, an audible noise came from under the keyboard, around the Q key area. It was the typical "coil whine" noise and its quite usual in devices with some kind of switching power supply or buck converter (modern motherboards are full of those converters nowadays). Not that the noise bothered me at all, it wasnt loud and I had other "singing" devices before anyway so I'm very used to it, but today I updated the BIOS of the laptop (I was on version .106 and updated to version .117) and the coil whine went away completely. The little machine is dead silent now :) According to the BIOS update history, around version .112 MSI did something about it. I guess they changed the working frequency of the coils to a much higher spectrum so it falls outside of the audible frequencies. I don't know if other manufacturers have the same kind of solution, or if they can fix it this way at all. Just in case it helps anyone with an MSI machine :)

[@carloscrp]

I´ve got an Asus GL502vm and the same annoying sound. As far as I know is a normal sound in this laptops (i7 7700hq and gtx1060). It is a resonance sound that depends on the MHz so it changes (pattern and volume) if you change the speed of the processor/gpu (playing games or changing the power plan in Windows for example). I hope this helps.

[@alexhandro8702]

Got the same problem with my Zenbook ux303a Any solutions yet ?

[@90mattehhh]

aw man, Found this video which resonates with me having just come across this problem (Bought asus ux430uq) and I'm so disappointed I could not see any solution from anyone (not affected by disabling realtek and unchanged by changing drivers)

[@lolila182]

I also received my 3. laptop now. I had two times the Asus Zenbook UX501VW-FY145T. Both times this sound. Now I have an Acer Aspire VN7-592G-724S. It has a similar sound, but I have the impression that is slightly less loud. Both have the i7 6700hq. And both have the same graphic cards GTX 960M. I have read that the source of the sounds is either the Graphic Card, Motherboard near the processor or the power supply unit. But I am starting to think that all the high performance laptops suffer from this. Although my 3 laptops all had the same specs :P

[@EinfachObli]

I've tested 3 laptops with nearly the same specs. All came with an Skylake i7 6700HQ. The last one was the Asus G501VW (more or less the gaming version of the same laptop). All devices had the same issue. Weird electrical noise from the inside. I compared it to my "old" Ultrabook with an i7 5500U and found out, it makes the same noise but nearly inaudible. On that device I can just hear these noises, if everything is silent and I am as close as possible. Seems like an issue that all powerful laptops suffer from.

[@RomainSandt]

+Obli G501 is the same, just 4gb instead of 2 for the graphic card. I might exchange my UX501 VW for a G501 JW or UW501 JW. Tested them, they made 0 noise when cooling resting. My very Old HP, makes that noise too, but it takes a lot of sound proofing of the room and a lot on concentration to hear it.

[@EinfachObli]

It would be interesting to find out, what component causes these noises exactly. Maybe it can be exchanged. Since all laptops with this skylake cpu had the same issues I thought it is something regarding this generation of processors and their corresponding hardware which is more or less the same in every device.

[@RomainSandt]

just gave back my second unot. Asus France didn't give me any solution but admitted the noise is not normal.

[@EinfachObli]

+Romain „Herres“ Sandt If you buy another Laptop with this or a similar setup, I would be interested if there are any differences.

[@RomainSandt]

I'll probably take a similar UX501 or G501 but a JW version with Haswell. Since I've tested them. And they are the only one in my budget that I found pretty to look at.

[@ThomyK]

Hi. Same problem here with the Dell XPS 15 (9550) w. i7, FHD, 512 GB SSD PM951. I think it's a problem with the new generation (6, Skylake) of the Intel CPUs. I sent my XPS back to Dell.

[@DailenCZ]

Just bought asus ux310ua and got exactly the same problem, when scrolling on touchpad or arrow keyes the noise appears even a bit more. Seems to be the problem of the whole skylake generation procesors.

[@Tegeran66]

Hi guys, This issue reproduced if unplug the power cable?

[@Eeronimo]

I have a same problem with my Asus N551 - I thing it's the SSD. Sound is present only when copmuter is idling - i put GPU CPU stress test - sound dissappears. Also, when copying files or dragging a window around there is no sound. Temp are great and so is performance.

[@kamaljeetsingh8896]

same problem :(. any fix?

[@arsenkhachatryan3255]

I have the same problem? Is there any solution?

[@kshithijkamal1474]

I recently bought the laptop and on first startup it was clearly audible then decreased in volume but it is still there. It's a real bummer since I got a good deal on it and may have to return it. So what is the consensus? @Romain: Was the replacement any better? I can deal with the noise(it is faint but high pitched some times) but I want to know if there is a fix.

[@moremussa]

did u return it dude? I got an amazing deal for it and dont want to return it as well

[@kshithijkamal1474]

No do not return it...It is normal for the i7 6700HQ. I returned my original one and bought the special configuration from costco/sam's (don't remember which). The new one has the same whine...

[@cristianbig5621]

Has anyone tried to update bios to the newest version BIOS 301 and Intel Graphic Driver ? Both form September. Maybe updates can fix the problem.

[@redcat1630]

Similar noise coming from my GL502. Comes from around the CPU VRM area/Chipset area. (cannot pinpoint where exactly). Odd indeed.

[@DJ87370]

Did you get it fixed?

[@vitaliygordienko1261]

Guys, is not a problem of particular model. In my family two same machines asus ux305ca with same noisy issue. I believe is a matter of asus poor quality ans assemble control.

[@mihaipotra]

Same on Asus N752VX (i7 6700HQ). While power plugged-in, and using a wireless mouse, and scrolling a webpage the noise is unbearable. Even at night, unless powered off, it is disturbing. Asked for a replacement, and will see if the noise intensity is the same. My previous notebook was N751JK (i7 4720HQ) and no coil whine. Disabling the Intel gfx didn't help.

[@luishalo360]

Tell me if the noise comes witht he new one. i have a g501jw and does the sound.

[@mihaipotra]

Well, they didn't want to replace it, so I just had it returned and got my money back. Looking to buy from somebody else (nobody has it in stock anymore apparently). Before returning it, however, I noticed that the Intel GPU had started failing (which is what I feared from the start, due to unusual amount of coin whine): 1. when waking up the laptop after it had entered sleep mode, the entire screen did not refresh (stuck in the same render as before sleep), and only refreshed/updated after moving my mouse around (refreshed in chunks and bands). 2. The font rendering occasionally presented issues, drawing black squares and lines instead of characters and words. Needless to say, it's clear that the unit was faulty. If you have coil whine when plugged in, make sure you return or send it to service, since that's a clue that there might be a serious problem with the chip/mobo.

[@luishalo360]

My Asus Rog G501JW does the same sound, and i think its related witht he hardrive becuase it sounds always the hardrive light indicator is on. So i dont think its a problem just a normal thing in this type of laptops.

[@ptt1404]

same thing but it will be gone when the power is unplugged, seems electric interfered

[@Nippledozer]

I have a 6600u and it does the same thing under extremely heavy load. (Like when rendering without the gpu)

[@eleos7]

This whine is coming from the M.2 SSD. I have the same issue in my laptop (i5-8250u) with an MX300 M.2 SSD.

[@reinerschmidt3713]

Same issue on Asus UX303UB i7-6500U SSD- Micron M600

[@kuzuriii]

Its from gpu coil sound

This same problem. I replaced the motherboard. The sound remains. :(

[@RomainSandt]

Sorry for all the people who had questions, I had no answers. We since bought several UX from Asus in 13 and 14", one 13" does that. Fortunately its main user isn't young and doesn't notice. According to Asus at the time, probably the 5th gen i7. Returned two machines. The store finally agreed to give me a 4th gen i7 UX501, same SSD M2 Samsung inside, no issues, been using it since, the best and most reliable machine I've ever owned. Still by my side today.

[@MiniKodjo]

I always had this kind of noise with a asus laptop from 2010 and the latest lenovo t560. Especially when im on battery

[@icenfolsom6369]

I have XPS 13 with i5-6300U, exactly the same issue. I heard it is either related to CPU speed stepping or GPU driver.

[@mblazer10x]

well.. I just went through 2 XPS 13 i5-6300U computers and returned them both because of the noise. I ended up getting an ASUS Zenbook with an i7-6500U and it has the same problem!!! Maybe it's just how these computers are and we're freaking out for nothing?

[@redcat1630]

Does load affect yours? I've noticed mine is a scratching noise at idle, a buzzing noise (like a wire hitting a fan) at medium load and a high-pitched noise under max load.

[@robin_the_hooded]

I have the G501VW, exactly the same noise. It will only make the noise when plugged in.

[@luishalo360]

I have the g501jw and does the sound too. I think its a normal noise.

[@aydinjalalvandi6187]

@RoBro "it will only make the noise when plugged in" that's because the maximux processor power rate will be reduce after unplugged.

[@qugh3173]

The coil noise is generated from Samsung NVMe SSD SM951, My laptop was not making this noise until I installed that SSD, I don't know if that's the same case with the 950 Pro, 960 evo, 960 Pro though

[@gerritsteiner8273]

this noise isnt caused by the ssd. my g501vw has 256gb sanDisk m2 Sata3 ssd and makes the same annoying noise. it comes from the i7 6700hq

[@aydinjalalvandi6187]

i think it's about intel Skylake Version.becaus when you unplug the psu the minimum process state will go in 5% in default.just go to power option,click on change plan settings in your current power option,then click on change advanced power settings.in the new power option panel find the processor power management,and change the minimum processor state,that's caus the coil whine noise.if u change the minimum processor state to 10% both plugged in and unplugged and change the maximum to 70% in both case, you will notice that the coil whine noise will become much more lower,but unfortunately you are not able to use 100% of cpu. i have this problem too,and i'm so disappointed of asus. :((

[@YS-dw4kg]

I have the exact same issue. It tends to get louder when using the touchpad. It's extremely annoying. The Asus laptop is great otherwise.

[@jimmyreynolds3062]

Apple have replaced the motherboard of my MacBook Pro (15" Late 2011) and now I am having this coil whine noise issue. (Intel Core i7 2nd gen)

[@kaichengwong9242]

Hi, im currently using MSI PE60-6QE, i have the same problem too. MSI changed my mobo there's no difference. i found a way to lower the noise, you can try to turn off C-state in bios.

[@RomainSandt]

+Kai Cheng Wong well it was my second choice... Happy to have a UX501 with Haswell

[@andriuskarpas]

i have the same sound with my hp laptop powered with intel i7 6700hq and i think sound comes out of the cpu

[@DavaakhuuG]

I have same problem on My UX501VW Zen Book Pro... It's annoying me always... What should I do....

[@RomainSandt]

I eschanged it twice, 3rd time took a previous gen, no troubles.

[@Antekkubiak0920]

I have the same problem, but i try to desable Intel HD graphics 530 but it didn't help. I noticed that using a touchpad generete some extra noise. But I think there is a lot of elements which are provoking that rumble sound at the same time. If anybody contact with Asus center ? I also try to exchange my notebook few times but in another models there were the same anying sound. I would like to now, what happend when evrybody with strange working device wold want to return their notebook. probably whole series of asus ux501VW wouldn't work well.

[@stevedoc2080]

Has anyone tried to update bios to the latest version, 207? Maybe the noise is gone now..

[@moremussa]

just did, still got the noise

[@Javirulo22]

Possible fix (worked for me): Download ThrottleStop 8.30. On the main page, disable C1E checkbox and click save. Comment your results pls :)

[@bertranddecoster2045]

Too bad, it didn't work for me. Neither did disabling the HD 530 Drivers. It's really annoying now

Remember to add Throttlestop as a windows task in Task scheduler

[@Javirulo22]

Try my solution :)

[@RomainSandt]

it's not the fans for sure.

[@RomainSandt]

Aucune idée. J'avais pris un UX501 VW (je me suiviens pas des numéros suivant avec certitude). Du coup je l'ai échangé à la fnac contre l'ancienne version avec le même Samsung SSD PCIe 4, 8Go de ram mais en DDR3 pas 4. Un UX501 JW. La liste était assez courte, il me fallait 16Go de ram, un SSD, un écran matte. Je suis photographe et graphiste. Chez moi l'ordi est branché sur un écran externe. Quand j'ai regardé, il y avait Asus UX501, G501 (mais je trouve le clavier rouge et noir illisible), Dell XPS 15 plus compact et mieux construit, mais aussi beaucoup plus cher. Le Dell Inspiron 15 7000 très performant et facilement évolutif. Malheuresement ou avec un écran matte pas terrible, ou un écran brillant 4K (ce que je déconseille quoi qu'il arrive) très demandeur en énergie et performances. Pour moi il 'ny avait que l'UX501 ou le Dell XPS, en look, performances, transportabilité. Mais si tu ne montes pas de videos, n'as pas besoin d'un i7 4 coeurs, que donc un i5 ou i7 double coeur suffit, les choix sont plus ouverts, tout dépend de ce que tu fais. HP par exemple propose de très beaux 15" avec SSD, 8 ou 16Go de ram en DDr4, SSD + HD... bref il faut regarder ton besoin. Attention à vérifier leur construction, beaucoup d'ordis ont les mêmes configurations, mais certains n'ont qu'un seul ventilo, la moitié de la ram soudée (comme les UX501). Mais bien retenir que ce bruit insupportable est sur plein d'ordi en i7 skylake 6700. Du coup, certains l'ont sur des XPS ou autres machines. Mon UX501 a du coup un i7 4850 HQ, et ne fait qu'un bruit de ventilation un peu bourdonnant mais normal (lié à a taille des aeréations, problème réglé sur les nouveaux, mais eux ont le problème de ma video). Sur mon Blog tu trouveras deux articles, un sur le problème que j'ai eu, l'autre sur quel ordinateur choisir sous windows. romainsandt.blogspot.fr

[@DukuuDj]

so, did they fix it?

[@kshithijkamal1474]

no this is an issue with the 6700hq processor... However, I have not messed with other company's laptops with the same processor so I am not sure if the noise is enhanced/audible because of asus' circuits.

Sometimes under load he is very noisy.

[@AntonioMelina1]

Augustin-Constantin Morari I have the same problem, with the same device. Have u news about?

[@ddrix]

No, but I found a way to get rid of this killing noise...Control panel - Hardware and sound - Power options, here you switch to the power saving mode. Doing this you cut your laptops performance, this would not load your processor, subsequently - no noise. If this doesn't help, you can try to downgrade more the processor performance in the Power options (for example I have 1500 Mhz "Maximum processor frequency" + "Maximum processor state" is at 62%) This performance is sufficient for chat and watch videos on KZbin. Soon I'll install Linux (OS) to see if it's a problem of software (Windows) or hardware.

[@AntonioMelina1]

unfortunately I need more performance for various programming and editing. I think I'll have to endure this annoying noise. the important thing is that it is not a problem that compromises the state of the hardware.

[@AntonioMelina1]

I use a linux distribution on VirtualMachine and the problem is the same but I'm evaluating a complete installation.

[@dawidkrasowski5628]

[@paveldolzhenkov4717]

+Romain “Herres” Sandt I plan to change by your example at JW model...

[@RomainSandt]

Pavel Dolzhenkov well I'm happy with it. Thanks to the PCIe SSD it's fast enough. Works well with premiere Pro, Photoshop, Illustrator, and Indesign. No problem using it connected on a second screen with work on one, and Netflix on the the second. Might just be slower than the VW with Skylake for exporting videos but it's fine for now. Only the air intake is not as efficient than on the VW. While turning fast the frequence of the sound can be a bit annoying. It's ok if you have music on or a movie it's not too loud. The VW had different ventilators and a new air intake under the laptop wich gave him more air. But overall, same use, Same machine, no whine coil. Not too heavy. Not sad to have to have it. You have the G501JW too when you can find one, not as nice looking, but good beast.

I know that the vid is old. But that weird noises are absolutly nornal for SSDs. SSDs aren't quiet! The SSDs in budget laptops aren't quiet twice because it's not the best quality of hardware. Don't get mad like me because not knowing this. If you only hear this when you sit really near to your laptop or holding ear too keyboard than all is right!

[@RomainSandt]

The noise had nothing to do with the SSD. Came from the CPU. Intel and Asus recognized the issue. The Store exchange the laptop for an other version with only difference being the CPU, same graphic card, same SSD... No electric noise. And the noise only took place when something was going on. Since we've bought 3 other Asus laptops, 1 those this whining... And it's the most expensive. Still using the UX501 the store exchanged me. No issues.
