granulf Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 My DFI Expert has increasingly started making funny sounds during load. It sounds either like a squeaky sound or a "click" sound which clicks in the same rate as the FPS during gaming or benchmarking. Apart from that the mobo seems to still be functioning as it should, but this sound is so annoying I just can't keep it that way... Do you guys think that's a good enough reason to RMA it? It sounds more or less like a bad capacitor or something similar... Btw, this happens whether I'm on stock speed or overclocked.

Oceanborn Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 Could it be the chipset fan by any chance? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
granulf Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 Could it be the chipset fan by any chance? Lol, no. The chipset fan isn't even spinning . It is NOT a fan noise. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

granulf Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 I bet its your 8800gtx, they make a weird chirp and static noises. Really, they all do? I will try to install a pci card and see what happens, but I guess I can't start any games then... :confused: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

granulf Posted February 1, 2007 Posted February 1, 2007 Well... I just ordered a A8N32-SLI Deluxe... Don't know if it was a good idea or not, but I got it so cheap I just had to order it. I certainly can't live with my expert the way it is now, and a dfi sli-dr would cost me more than twice as much as the a8n32-sli deluxe. Do you guys think it will be ok? My 24/7 setup is [email protected] Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
granulf Posted February 1, 2007 Posted February 1, 2007 Doh, I'm feeling stupid now... Turns out it actually IS the graphics card making all the sounds and not the mobo... Is this normal? I don't like the sound at all Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HITandRUN Posted February 1, 2007 Posted February 1, 2007 How loud is it that it is so annoying + it really made you order a ASUS board. Shame on you!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
granulf Posted February 1, 2007 Posted February 1, 2007 How loud is it that it is so annoying + it really made you order a ASUS board. Shame on you!!! Lol, well I'm cancelling the order . It's fairly loud yes. For now I will try to move the case further away from me, but I don't really know what to do :confused: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HITandRUN Posted February 1, 2007 Posted February 1, 2007 Well I dont have my GTX yet for another two weeks so I cant tell! Mine GTS dosnt do it. If its so bad I would RMA the card and get a new one! The only thing I can think of that would make loud noise like this it a overcharged capacitor or one that releases his load but all this is not happening when everything works good. So in any case something is wrong with the card and it should be RMA'd. :cool: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like the sound at all Told ya!! There are some guides on how to fix it if you are interested. Think it juts requires some silicone, but *poof* that was the sound of your warranty disappearing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
