Hissing Noise

wizkid · 03-14-2009, 12:11 PM

Hi,

I have noticed that when my computer is under load or I am in a game I can hear a hissing sound coming from the inside of the pc. Is this normal for this type of board and CPU?

Please see specs below,

Can you please advise,

Thanks,

Be careful that's a highly poisonous BSOD viper. Ya hear hissing. If bitten your computer will freeze. And you'll become highly agitated. To the point of pulling your hair out by the roots........ I tell ya....

Is this normal or not?? If not then how do I fix it?

It may be some of the coils around the CPU on the motherboard.They are known to make noises.(It doesn't hurt anything) for them to do that.Some video cards make noise to when under load.Did this just start making niose or has it always done that?Keep an eye on it and listen to see if it gets any worse.I've heard that some People use hot glue on the coils to get them to stop.I had that board and I never heard anything strange.But not everyone with that board had the noise.

Or maybe you do have a snake inside.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

This has been happening for a month or so, I have changed the GPU and all the fans in the system, this still happens, Seems ok when just browsing the internet it only seems to do it when under load.

Hi,

This sounds as if it coming from the motherboard its self or from the GPU, which I have changed this happened before I changed to the GPU but could it still be the GPU or motherboard??

Can you please advise

My friend had a similar hissing noice that he experienced on his Asus laptop. We figured out that it was related to a buggy DVD drive, but It wasnt the DVD drive itself that was broken, it seems that somewhere along the motherboard the DVD drive was creating this noise.

We still havent figured out its origination but you should look into that also.

Hey

Thanks for your reply.

I have found a slight fix to the problem if I turn on V Snyc in the Nvidia control panel and in games it does not do it as much, it seems that a lot of the same cards have the same issue as mine. It seems like its an issue with the capacitors on some cards but its normal.

Hi wizkid!

Now that you mention the gpu i remember hearing that hiss coming from my graphics card when running 3d-apps (games, benchmarks) with an open case.

I just don't know exactly if it was the hd3850 or the hd4870X2 and i don't know what stopped it. New drivers or installing the water block?

Greetings

Dru

Yeah its very common I think in some of the GTX 260 cards, I first noticed it when running 3DMARK then started noticing it in games. Did you ever find any other fixes? Apart from maybe installing new drivers which I have done.

Thanks,

Wizkid

Drufuss · 03-17-2009, 06:37 PM

Nope, as i wrote maybe removing the original heatsink and replacing it with a waterblock did cure it?

Greetings

Ok, just a quick update on this problem, I had fitted a Gigabyte 260GTX card in the system and I forgot to change that in the specs that I listed. It seems common with some 260gtx cards, I have been reading about it on the net its down to the capacitors.

Thanks for all the help.
