High pitched noise coming from newly built PC when I play TS3
Sooo I just built this computer a week ago, downloaded TS3 and it's giving me all sorts of issues. First, it makes this high pitched noise from the second the intros start making it unplayable, and second it lags like crazy even though it's installed on an SSD and my computer is more than able to run it.

Specs:

i5-4460

Radeon R9 270X

8GB RAM

256Gb SSD

1TB HDD

Windows 8.1, 64 bit

The high pitched noise doesn't stop even at lowest settings and 60hz/default refresh rate. Any help is appreciated, this game always gives me troubles no matter when or where I play it.

I use 3loader and Pescado's stripped down FPS limiter and the game works perfectly! Puts off some heat on my laptop but not nearly as bad as before. Also, some graphical glitches I had in my game were fixed!

High pitched noise? Noise made by the game, or noise made from the computer? If it is the latter, I may worry about the computer build when it was pushed. Could be the fan, or the harddrive's motor?

If the game is run without an FPS limiter, it's likely to strain the hardware (especially really good hardware) and cause the hardware to make those kind of noises. An FPS limiter solved 99% of my overheating problems with TS3 and it worked perfectly for the OP. If it doesn't work I would say avoid TS3 for the time being. Better to lose one game than your whole PC!
