Hello everybody,
My CPU is an Intel Xeon X3440, running on an ASUS Sabertooth 55i motherboard.
I didn't notice this until yesterday, so it might have gone on for a while but it finally caught my ear. There's this noise coming from my CPU or something related to it, I think.
It's high pitched, not loud, and only seems to happen when the CPU is idle or not taking up a lot of usage. Its almost like a whine or a sequel. It's not constant most of the times, and only stops when the CPU usage goes up.
Think of it like this, where the -'s are the noise.
------------- - ---------- -------------- ---------- ------ -------------- ----------- ------- and it seems to go in rhythm with CPU usage.
I turn on Prime 95 and the sound goes away completely. I'm not running an over clock right now.
Anybody got any guesses?
