Weird noise coming from Computer...

447 Views 10 Replies 4 Participants Last post by  xHassassin
So... There's this high pitched squealing sound coming from my computer... I'm pretty sure it's from the mobo... I've tried disconnecting all the fans and it still continues. I even stopped the GPU and CPU HSF fans and the sound is still there... Any ideas on what it could be?

I think it's a fan... Since the sound has some stutters every once in awhile... But there's no fans left to check...

Currently, it sounds like it's coming from the inside of my GPU HSF... Where the chip is.

Thanks for the help.

And no, I don't think it's the power supply. It's a tech station, and I can tell that it's the upper part of it that's making the squealing noise...

Doh, I was trying to think of that but kept drawing a blank.

I would just RMA the card.

from what ive heard/read you cant fix it
it just happens to some cards when they come of age

Can I fix it or do I need to RMA?

It doesn't affect performance in anyway
its just annoying
the only way to fix it is to replace the capacitors but that can be a hassle

just turn up your fan to cover up the noise
Wow... It's a new GPU.

Argh...

That's okay, the same thing happened to me when I bought my XFX 88. Especially when it was under stress.

Bah.. I've already been through one RMA process.. I don't think I could wait another 10+ days...
How do I replace a capacitor anyways?

BTW, mine stops squeaking when it's under stress....
