September 17, 200520 yr Hi guys, I know I've been posting asking too much about cooling stuffs. But I still can't stand it. The noise from my cheap MSI P4MAM2-V (7095) is driving me crazy. The sound isn't pleasant. I've installed a case fan to help bring the noise down by bringging the mobo/cpu temp down. I rather prefer the fan noise than the mobo The noise comes from the CPU area and is definately not the CPU fan which is noisy. It sounds like "tuu.." or "woo..". High pitch. It gives me headache at times.Please help me. I want to get rid of that noise...TQ.Edit: Mobo: 37cCPU: 36cHD: 32cCPU fan: 2500RPMI consider the temps are good to me, but still noisy Edited September 17, 200520 yr by roger04
September 17, 200520 yr Buy a better heatsink and get a bigger ,slower fan (try a thermaltake Tower 112 w/ a 90mm quiet fan) and tighten the screws really tight on the mobo. Most whine is either from the psu (which would explain why think it could be near the cpu) and HD's / cd's as the noise resonates throughout the case from the vibrations
September 18, 200520 yr The high pitch squealing sound is more than likely coming from the Mosfets that are overheating. Mosfets let out high pitched ultrasonic squeals when they overheat and this can cause headaches. Your best option would be small passive heatsinks on mosfets to provide better cooling on them.
September 18, 200520 yr I had amotherboard the other day and aweird noise (sounded like a dodgy fan [no nt the beeping]) and it was coming from the pc speaker, the motherboard ended up being fine jusy annoying we unplugged the speaker
