Hi all.
My issue? I recently built a new rig (parts below) and I’m noticing a decent amount of electrical noise coming from the system when powered on. It seems to originate from both my video card and motherboard.
For instance, when I'm in the BIOS I'll occasionally here noise from the motherboard (e.g., buzz). It’s not always constant though. While clicking on a certain button in RivaTuner (how random is this) I'll notice my video card emits a faint noise (e.g., buzz/beep). Generally speaking the video card will emits noise when called into action (e.g., when running 3DMark06). This are just a few examples.
Intel Q6600 G0 @ 3.0 GHZ (333x9)
Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme
4 x 1GB Corsair XMS2 DDR2-800 @ 2.1v @ 4-4-4-12
Abit IP35 Pro 1.1
PNY 8800GTS 512MB G92 (cores overclocked ~ 10%)
Corsair 520W PSU
*Prime95 and Memtest86+ tested.
My question is how irregular does this sound? I never really noticed any of these issues when building/using my previous AMD 939 rig which used the exact same video card and PSU (swapped them over to the new system). This reminds me of my old SoundBlaster and the snack, crackle, pop when scrolling in IE. Haha.
Thanks!
