Strange noise from board


Recommended Posts

Go into the BIOS, under PC Health Status and set the: “NB Fan Fully On…” > 40ºC

 

This will make it spin faster and sometime will quite it. If not raise the temp to 55ºC, just remember the chipset will go up. I prefer the fans spinning faster than the throttling or hotter temps.

 

 

A good chipset replacement one is the Evercool VC-RE. It’s quieter and a lot of people get a 5ºC - 10ºC drop in temp. Use AS5 when installing the new one.

 

If you decide to order a new one do DFI-Street a favor and use the link in Happy_Games signature for the VC-RE chipset cooler. DFI-Street gets a credit and that helps fund the Street.

If possible, pull the board from the case and do a minimum hardware boot. This will eliminate case fans or other non-essential components as a source of your noise. It will also make it alot easier to determine exactly where the noise is coming from.

 

Additionally we'll be able to determine whether it's a mechanical induced noise or an electrical induced noise. Hopefully the former and not the later.
