Hi,
I have brand new 4790k running in an Asus z97i-plus. When everything is set to auto in bios it is squealing like a pig under load, louder than the fans at 100%. Otherwise the system is stable and running well, max temps at 75c while otcc or intel xtu stress testing, no throttling of any kind. I'd be fine with that except for the noise The only setting that stops the squealing is setting core ratios manualy even if it's set to the same intel specs (44-44-43-42) as bios automaticaly would set it to. No squealing then, but max temps only reach 60c and it starts thermal throttling there.
I don't want to OC this, it's a mini itx case, only bought the k version because there was almost no difference in price and it has a higher base clock, and I could even live with the squealing, except I'm afraid it's an indication that something expensive will die soon. Any ideas what could be causing this? The noise seems to come from around the cpu area, but it's hard to tell cause it's a small space so everything is close to one another. Thanks.
