It happens when idle... When I hit the refresh key and hold it... It kinda stops...

then do what i said earlier. disable speedstep, or RMA.

jonathan1107 · Apr 25, 2011

kk

I have 2 types of Overclock... on uses the Speedstep option, and the other doesn't... I'll try and see if the "non-speedstep" OC cancels that noise.

could it be your monitor? You said when you hold F5 it stops... I've heard of monitors making an odd high pitched sound before

My monitor does make a high pitched noise if it is on and there is no display cable connected to it.

jonathan1107 · Apr 26, 2011

No No no... as I mentionned previously, the noise clearly comes from the above right corner of the CPU...

I noticed something else... The noise stops if I move the mouse continously and starts again when I stop moving the mouse...

I'm about to disable speedstep and the like... to see if it makes a difference

Was thinking the same. I once had a CRT type monitor that made a high pitched noise - until i Turned it off, or the res. was lowered. But it was the monitor and nothing else.
That system was slightly overclocked.

How about something electromagnetic interference? Like, you know - mobilephones and loudspeakers, or heavy magnets on a TV screen?? Nothing that could be "disturbing" the system???

jonathan1107 · Apr 26, 2011

Nah, I tried turning off the screen and the speakers... it's still there

Widjaja · Apr 26, 2011

Well since you know it is coming from the CPU, the chances are it is either yuor Motherboard or the CPU.

Personally I think it is the Motherboard which may have some strong electrical noise or electrical noise which you are sensitive to.

I know my mouse emits a faint high pitched electrical noise which I was sensitive to while taking some anti-biotics.

Yes definitly... I happen to be a music teacher... and my strenght in music is my hearing...

So believe me when I tell you I can hear everything ! lolzzzzz Freaking PC overclock... lolzzz I must say I'm kinda ok with it... I knew I was overclocking... It's just it would be wonderful to know how to get rid of it...

Meanwhile, for you guys who were asking me what my PSU is: It's a Xion 1250w

jonathan1107 · Apr 26, 2011

Looks like with speedstep disabled, the sound goes away... But that also means HUGE ELECTRIC BILL if I don't turn speedstep and powersaving features back on lolzz

It shouldn't affect your bills that much. But if you are worried, set up 2 bios profiles, 1 as overclock, 1 standard settings so you can easily flip between the two when you want to game etc.

well no, it only boosts it about 50W or so at most... not that huge. personally i'd RMA the board.

I thought those Intel steedstep, AMD C n' Q were mainly for large businesses which use a lot of PCs.

Otherwise the power saving is marginal.

But still annoying that a feature is causing you grief.

saving 50W of power aint that much. saving 50W of heat being dumped into your case/room, is helpful for sure.

(PS, 30K post get)

grab you a little Kill-A-Watt on Newegg for $19 (there's a $50 on sale for $29 right now that will calculate $$ instead of just wattage that I bought yesterday) and plug it up with the speed step enabled for about an hour of gaming or web browsing and then plug it up with the speed step disabled for about an hour of gaming or web browsing and compare the two. You'll see the exact difference in power consumption. It should be minimal TBH

jonathan1107 · Apr 26, 2011

alright, thx guys for your advise. really appreciate it

jonathan1107 · Apr 26, 2011

Hey guys, I just noticed I'm also getting a little squealing noise from the video card when it's loading stuff... like thumbnails or videogames...

Is this normal? I think it's because I'm Overclocked and the Front Bus speed affects the PCIe slots...

thats normal, most cards do that, mine does that until the fans speeds up and overpowers the squealing noise

Your FSB isn't affecting your pci-ex speeds, the most you can go up and down on pci-e is about 7% before you get problems, also and overclocked pci-e bus would cause your gpu to operate at a higher speed as so you would be running a very high gpu overclock indeed

The solution to all this is just install more fans.. if you pc sounds like a jet, then you won;t be able to hear any squealing :laugh:

lolzzz I appreciate your sense of humour

ha ha ha...
looks the card screaming stop, stop no i cant hold on anymore
.
note: i guess if you add some fans on it. it may not cover the sound coz the fan sound is lower than it sounds. so your ear would hear that annoying sound

jonathan1107 · Apr 27, 2011

Well, now that I turned off SpeedStep, the high pitch noise that was coming from the CPU is gone... The only one left is the one from the Video Card... But it's way less annoying...

So I'm good now
