High pitch sound coming from Ultra-D

[danskim]

There is an almost unbearable high pitch sound coming from my computer.. I believe it's the northbridge hsf... anyone else experience/fix this before? Thanks for the help..

Are you sure its the NB fan ?

 

Are You useing ITE smartguardian or Mbm5 ? (or even in the BIOS) you should be able to cycle the fan to different RPM's top see if it changes pitch.

 

Please read this thread. *(post 8 specifically.)

When the machine is running put a finger on top of NB fan to stop it, if the noise stops you know where the problem is. If it's the fan you might need to buy a new one

Actually the sound just mysteriously ended. I have a new problem... my NB chipset temps seem a bit high at 43C. My CPU is at 29-30C.

I am using the 4th PCI-E slot. Thanks for the replies earlier.

I don't think that is high at all. If you do, simply point a fan toward it inside the case to blow air at the video card / chipset fan.

 

Also, if you are using smart guardian and have not adjusted the software to run the fan at full speed, then you may get higher temp readings.
